Wilhelm is officially back for 2026, and we’re kicking off the new season the only way that makes sense - with our annual Best Of episode.

Joining me for this supersized season premiere are Klep Napier and Alex Krugar, as we dive headfirst into the films and television of 2025. From massive releases to surprise standouts, we’re each revealing and breaking down our Top 5 Favorite Films and Top 5 Favorite Television Show picks of the year, explaining what worked, what stuck with us, and why these stories rose above the rest.

Along the way, we also shout out a handful of honorable mentions that just missed our lists, because let’s be honest - 2025 had way too much great content to keep this short. We wrap things up with a brief look ahead at what we’re most excited for in 2026, setting the tone for the year to come.

This episode is longer, deeper, and packed with passionate discussion - a true celebration of everything we loved about pop culture in 2025 and the perfect way to kick off a brand-new season of Wilhelm.
