They Called This a Movie

2025 End of Year Wrap Up

We've made it through another year, so we're celebrating by taking a break from watching bad movies. As we close in on 2026, we take time to look back and reflect on the year that was 2025 and look ahead to next year. Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.Our theme music was written and performed by Dave Katusa.

Episode 352 - A Merry Little Ex-Mas (2025)

It's our final Christmas-themed episode before we wrap up 2025, and we've gone the Netflixmas route, with the brand new A Merry Little Ex-Mas, starring Alicia Silverstone and Oliver Hudson. Join us as we discuss our love for Alicia Silverstone and Melissa Joan Hart, celebrate gay grandpas, and talk about the lack of stakes in a film that wants us to like everyone. Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.Our theme music was written and performed by Dave Katusa.

Episode 351 - A Wrestling Christmas Miracle (2020)

We check in on the psychosis of a filmmaker we've watched previously, as we take in A Wrestling Christmas Miracle, the spiritual sequel to A Karate Christmas Miracle. This is a film that could only be brought to us by the twisted mind of Ken Del Vecchio (no relation). Join us as we discuss all the accents, the Congo revolution subplot, and dive into Ken Del Vecchio's disturbing filmography. Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.Our theme music was written and performed by Dave Katusa.

Episode 350 - The Dog Who Saved Christmas (2009)

It's a Christmas miracle: a dog that doesn't bark. We're kicking off the holiday season with a movie about a labrador and the family that mistakenly thinks labradors make good guard dogs. It's The Dog Who Saved Christmas this week to start December's month-long holiday movie-watching. Join us as we discuss Kevin James's brother taking a bath with a dog, Dean Cain vs Mario Lopez, and even some fan theories about Home Alone. Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.Our theme music was written and performed by Dave Katusa.
