Reel Roundtable #49 - The Resties (2025)

Happy New Year! (it still counts, right?)  Another bonus episode for your listening enjoyment as we bring you another Reel Roundtable discussion.  Ian, Liam, Megan, and B-Tech Kev look back on the films they've reviewed in 2025 and have some more  dubious awards to hand out in the form of The Resties.  Comments, banter, and flat out arguments can be found as we debate the worst that we saw in 2025 (A full list of award categories and eligible films are located at the bottom of these notes)
