| Item | Type | Year | Rating | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cunk on Life Charlie Brooker | Movie | 2025 | ★★★★★ | Faux-shoshin mockumentary. Perfectly executed delivery on asking life's greatest questions. |
| Animal Farm Andy Serkis | Movie | 2025 | ★★★★☆ | Andy Serkis's animated take on Orwell. B-tier but unfairly maligned — Serkis and the voice cast deliver despite the discourse. |
| Death by Lightning Mike Makowsky | TV Series | 2025 | ★★★★★ | Garfield's improbable rise and his assassin's stranger arc — Macfadyen, Shannon, and Offerman at full tilt. |
| Romeo is a Dead Man Goichi Suda | Video Game | 2025 | ★★★★★ | Another fever dream from Suda51 and Grasshopper — combat that suits simple sensibilities, with ultraviolent revenge noir as the bonus. |
