This is a lighthearted comedy that works to find an escape from reality. It is an unexpected “reality” of finding joy in times that are questionable making Is This Thing On? one of the most authentic films of 2025. It takes a deep dive into stand-up comedy while grappling with separation.

This film is melancholy, filled with plenty of potions to amplify the sadness. Rose Byrne delivers a spellbinding performance in this anxiety-filled story. If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You is written and directed by Mary Bronstein who has an eye for creating tolerance in the face of a conflicting pattern. There are a bucket of problems only getting worse while an individual struggles to keep standing and thriving.

The 2025 film, Novocaine, is one that doesn’t take itself too seriously, clearly, and for that, it’s a blast of a good time at the movie theater. Films are fun when they start with a unique, if outrageous, premise, and just lean into the absurdity with reckless abandon. What more can you ask for?!

I can’t accurately rank what my favourite movie is – I have a couple that move up and down on that list with my mood and current interests – but I know that the first Gladiator movie has never fallen out of the top four. It’s such a carefull made film that, even with a […]
