53 - 'Nosferatu,' 'Babygirl,' 'A Complete Unknown'

Kicking off 2025 discussing three exciting Christmas releases.

First, Schmear recounts his Golden Globes thoughts (1:30) before Sena Adjei returns to the show to discuss 'Nosferatu,' 'Babygirl,' and 'A Complete Unknown.'

They first enter dark 1830s Germany to explore Robert Eggers’ infernal new vampire film, 'Nosferatu,' (10:30) breaking down what works and what doesn’t in this Lily-Rose Depp-led tale.

Then, they dive into the twisted sexual politics of new Nicole Kidman feature, 'Babygirl,' (29:54) highlighting Harris Dickinson’s performance and analyzing why the film works so well for them but not for others.

Lastly, a trip to the ’60s folk scene to parse 'A Complete Unknown' (48:06) and Timothée Chalamet’s transformation into Bob Dylan and his all-time press tour (1:03:57).

Sena wraps the episode by unveiling his official “You Aight” White Boy Rankings to start the new year (1:09:33).
