As 2025 comes to an end, The Sunday Special is looking back on
the year in culture.

This week, on our final episode of the podcast, we’re talking
about movies. The potential acquisition of Warner Brothers by
Netflix has dominated entertainment news in recent weeks, but the
year in movies has been about a lot more than corporate mergers.
Alissa Wilkinson, a movie critic for The New York Times, and
Nicole Sperling, a culture reporter based in Los Angeles, join
Gilbert Cruz to talk about what really matters: the movies we
loved this year.

Movies discussed in this episode include:

“One Battle After Another”

“Sinners”

“A Minecraft Movie”

“Superman”

“Weapons”

“Wicked: For Good”

“Zootopia 2”

“Avatar: Fire and Ash”

“Marty Supreme”

“It Was Just an Accident”

“The Testament of Ann Lee”

“Come and See Me In the Good Light”

“Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning”

On Today’s Episode:

Alissa Wilkinson is a movie critic at The Times.

Nicole Sperling is a reporter covering Hollywood
for The Times.
