Role Credits is back with our best first-time watches of 2025! Covering everything from modern musicals to fantasy epics, Korean punk movies (and rants about remakes) to Queer Citizen Kane, it was a great year for movies. We even get to talk about Uncle Buck.

Part 5 of our Stephen King Adaptations arc is here! We try and fail to figure out the plot of 1995's The Mangler, perform impressions of an early-00s viral sensation, and play "Stephen King or Choujin Sentai Jetman?"!
