TIFF 2025: A Knives Out Mystery, Sydney Sweeney's 'Christy,' and More!

Toronto International Film Festival

This week on Talking Through The Movies, we were joined by special guest Ricky Buzz to get an exclusive rundown from the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2025. Ricky gave us his first-hand reactions and insights into some of the most highly anticipated films of the year.

The top of our list was Rian Johnson's Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. We discussed the early buzz and what viewers can expect from Daniel Craig's return as Benoit Blanc. The conversation then shifted to a visual and thematic masterpiece: Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, starring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi.

We also dove into the performance that has everyone talking: Sydney Sweeney in the biopic 'Christy'. We shared our review and dissected the commentary around her powerful new role.

But our focus wasn't just on the festival circuit. We broke down the latest headlines in the world of video game movies. From the full Street Fighter cast reveal to Sophie Turner being confirmed as Lara Croft in the new Tomb Raider series, there was plenty to talk about. We also discussed the surprising news that director Steven Spielberg reportedly wanted to direct a Call of Duty film, but with a major catch!

As always, we took a moment to celebrate an under-the-radar gem in our "Grade-A B-Movies" segment and answered your questions and comments in "We Got Your Mail" and "Live Chat (For Me)."
