The Geeks Out crew look back at the films that defined 2025 for us — from unanimous favourites to the movies that genuinely surprised us.

We talk smart horror, emotional sci-fi, unexpected blockbusters and smaller films that packed a bigger punch than we expected. These are the movies that stuck with us, sparked debate, and stayed in our heads long after the cinema lights came up.

No rankings, no spoilers — just passionate chat about what worked and why these films mattered to us.

The post Best of 2025 – The Movies That Hit Hard a...

From slow-burn sci-fi to bold franchise expansions, the Geeks Out crew revisit the TV shows that defined our 2025 viewing.

We dig into the series that sparked big conversations, took creative risks, and trusted their audiences to lean in. These are the shows we argued about, recommended endlessly, and kept thinking about between episodes.

If you’re looking for thoughtful genre TV worth your time, this is where to start.

Horror Review with Miranda – After revisiting the painfully rough first 30 minutes of the 1984 original, expectations were… low.

But Silent Night, Deadly Night has genuinely surprised horror audiences.

It’s sharper, more self-aware, and understands exactly what kind of cult energy it’s playing with.

Still messy, still mean — but this time, intentionally so.

A rare treat for Geeks Out — a live sci-fi stage show!

We chat with the creative team behind Bev and Myrt and the Scrolling of Doom, a joyful, sharp, and slightly unhinged celebration of queer elders, low-budget sci-fi, and modern tech anxiety.

It’s smart, silly, and deeply affectionate — with aliens, Melbourne, and doom-scrolling all rolled into one.

LISTEN to Miranda and Tamzyn chat with lovely crew from Bev and Myrt!

Common Side Effects feels like an unexpected mash-up of dry suburban comedy and sharp scientific curiosity.

It leans into real scientific concepts without dumbing them down, wrapped in animation that’s deceptively casual.

Clever, strange, and quietly biting — the kind of show that makes you laugh first, then think about it later.

LISTEN to TAMZYN and MIRANDA – Dave and Sue this one out!!! who is believing this more!

This week on Geeks Out, Tamzyn goes solo to review Anaconda — the gloriously dumb, self-aware reboot starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black.

It’s a movie about making a movie about Anaconda, and it absolutely knows it. Expect giant snake idiocy, meta humour, surprise guest appearances (no spoilers), and the kind of “leave your brain at the door” fun that reminds us why popcorn movies exist in the first place.

Tamzyn also shares what it was like watching the film with “little Jase” on his very first Geeks Out cinema outing, dives into the surprisingly Australian f...

Eternity is visually elegant and quietly confident, with a subtle, almost storybook rhythm that suits its big themes beautifully.

It plays with ideas of time, love, and permanence without becoming heavy-handed, and just when you think you know where it’s heading, it politely sidesteps expectations.

Warm, inclusive, and surprisingly funny in places — a real heart-warmer.

The post Eternity – A Gentle Existential Hug appeared first on Geeks OUT.

Rental Family plays in that quiet, emotional space between chosen family and emotional convenience. What starts as a slightly uncomfortable premise slowly becomes a thoughtful exploration of loneliness, connection, and the things we’re willing to pay for when life feels empty.

It’s gentle, reflective, and sneaks up on you when you least expect it — not flashy, but emotionally precise.

Listen to Tamzyn review maybe one of her Favs of 2025

Apple TV+ is on fire, and Pluribus might be its most thought-provoking series yet.

Miranda dissects the hive-mind themes, the racial commentary, the illusion of independence, and the show’s commentary on AI and collective labour.

Tamzyn falls down the “would I join the collective?” rabbit hole — torn between terror and the warm fuzzy vibes.

Clayton breaks down why Carol is the perfect unlikeable protagonist and why consent sits at the heart of the entire story.

High-concept, unsettling, and addictive.

Osgood Perkins is back with Keeper, a voyeuristic, dream-logic cabin-in-the-woods journey that leaves you whispering “WTF” in the best (and strangest) way.

Miranda digs into the atmosphere and thematic layers while acknowledging the intentional lack of character grounding.

Clayton unpacks the tight, unsettling camerawork and the brilliance of Tatiana Maslany’s layered performance.

This is indie horror at its most ambiguous — where you make your own meaning, or wander lost in the fog.

Miranda sits down with director Kylie Aoibheann to dive into her short film The Dysphoria — a visceral, bold and deeply personal piece exploring trans experience through horror.

We talk themes, visual language, identity, and how the film balances discomfort, and truth.

From production insights to creative process to the emotional core of the story, this is a conversation about art, autonomy, and representation.

Season 4 of The Witcher has arrived — and it’s less “Geralt’s story” and more “Geralt’s extended chaotic family adventure”.

Miranda dives into the book/show differences, Ciri’s evolution, and why the series still scratches that original GOT itch.

Tamzyn talks through Liam Hemsworth stepping into the White Wolf’s boots, the emotional arcs, and why the show feels like two travelling parties desperately missing each other.

…world-building and pacing. Magic, war, queer love stories — we cover it all.

Filmed in OZ this horror steps into the spotlight with Diabolic, and we’re here for the creepy LDS-infused dread.

Miranda found herself haunted by the real-world religious practices under the surface, while Tamzyn breaks down why the “true story” angle works… until it doesn’t.

Clayton unpacks the queer themes, the pacing problems, and the standout performances from Elizabeth Cullen and Genevieve Mooy.

It’s atmospheric, unsettling, and maybe 30 minutes too long — but is it worth the watch?

This week on GEEKS OUT we dive into Predator: Badlands — the loud, wild new franchise entry that has fans split right down the middle.

Miranda calls it the Predator film people feared Disney would make, while Tamzyn and Clayton were living for the IMAX chaos, creature reveals and unexpected heart.

We unpack the Yautja glow-up, the android duo, space-bully revenge arcs, and whether this bold tone shift pays off. From practical effects to new monster lore — we’ve got thoughts.

Big ones. LISTEN NOW

We’re back in that cursed little Maine town where fear has a postcode — Derry.

Long before the Losers’ Club faced Pennywise, this stylish prequel dives into how fear itself took root.

Tamzyn, Miranda and Clayton sink their teeth into those first two chilling episodes.

From pastel-washed horror and ‘60s Americana gone wrong, to twisted births, weaponised evil, and the unseen presence that still haunts the sewers.

Crime meets quirk in High Potential — where genius cleaning lady Morgan Gillory solves cases the cops can’t.

The MCU gets a taste for flesh in Marvel Zombies, Miranda and Tamzyn’s here for the gore but not the overload.

With just four jam-packed episodes, this animated series throws Kamala Khan into a zombie apocalypse full of undead Avengers, Wanda Maximoff, and a few too many cameos for comfort.

Miranda breaks down why the pacing and character pile-up left her cold, while Tamzyn admits she’s glad it wrapped fast — before the chaos got too repetitive.

Together, they ask: does this feel like a full meal or just a messy snack betwee...

What if Vietnam wasn’t just hell — but full of dinosaurs?

That’s the wild premise of Primitive War, based on Ethan Pettus’s cult novel and directed by Luke Sparke.

Tamzyn and Miranda unpack the film’s blend of war drama and creature feature, from its surprisingly serious tone to the uncanny CGI raptors that occasionally break the spell.

Made on the Gold Coast with a modest budget, the film swings big on concept but struggles under its 2-hour-plus runtime.

Still, feathered dinos and gritty tension make it an ambitious addition t...

This week, we polish our fangs and dive into The Radleys, a suburban vampire story that swaps castles for cul-de-sacs.

Damian Lewis and Kelly Macdonald lead a family of “reluctant bloodsuckers” trying to stay clean and stay normal — until a bloody accident blows their secret wide open.

Tamzyn finds it charming and oddly YA in tone, while Miranda unpacks its deeper themes of addiction and shame.
Together, they explore why this film works better as family drama than vampire romp, and how its emotional core keeps it grounded in humanity rather than horror.
