The Silver Linings Playlist

Guillermo del Toro had been waiting to make his version of Frankenstein for a long time, and in 2025 we finally got to see what he can do with the classic story. It turned out to be a 9-Oscar nominations worthy endeavor. Some interesting spins on the beloved novel await those curious enough to see what Jacob Elordi can do as The Monster, so put on your finest ascot and pour a tall glass of white (milk) as we dissect this one. Plus, discussions on whether or not Christoph Waltz is a good actor, Victor’s goop diet, and just how many babies Nathan could beat in a fight to death.
Frankenstein (2025) stars Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Felix Kammerer, and David Bradley. Directed by Guillermo del Toro.

It had been 18 years since the last entry in the 28 (or 28 x Later…) franchise, but Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s return could not have been more welcomed. While 28 Years Later was incredibly divisive (especially due to that ending), no one could argue that this entry into this infected (read: zombie) property wasn’t unique and refreshing. We love this one and hope you do too. So hold onto your head (and spine) as we tear into this one as well as discuss decrepit punk houses, the nicest thing Mallie’s ever said, Larry the Cable Guy’s only good joke, and, of course, those Alpha dongs.
28 Years Later stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, Ralph Fiennes, and Erin Kellyman. Directed by Danny Boyle.

Remember 2007’s Next? No? Don’t worry – you’re not alone. This Nic Cage vehicle is one of his more forgotten outputs from the past 20 years and for good reason. A plot that truly doesn’t make any sense is only outweighed by apathetic performances and even lazier direction. Couple all of that with what has to be one of the most insulting endings to a movie ever and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. Luckily for us, our episode is far better. Tune in to hear us breakdown the movie (as best we can), plus conversations about Cage’s absurd hair, magic coin blood, and, of course, soiling yourself to get out of a situation.
Next stars Nicolas Cage, Julianne Moore, Jessica Biel, Thomas Kretschmann, Tory Kittles, and Peter Falk. Directed by Lee Tamahori.

This holiday season, we here at The Silver Linings Playlist proudly present to you a very special gift in the form of a super-sized episode. And what better movie to talk about for 2 and a half hours than the much conferred (and often criticized) Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. Where does this one fall in the legacy of Star Wars flicks? Is it better than you remember? We’ll let you know as we break down the film in its entirety, as well as discuss the most important topics such as Chewbacca fueling Yoda’s drug problems, the very contentious Empire cryptocurrency PalpaCoin, Sheev’s time as a gigolo on Naboo, and of course those c---y boots Obi-Wan loves to wear. All of that and more with guest Drew Miles.
Happy holidays to all who celebrate, and we’ll see you in the new year!
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith stars Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson, Ewan McGregor, Ian McDiarmid and Hayden Christensen. Directed by George Lucas.

It’s been 20 years since the “gay cowboy movie” split Western culture in two, but Brokeback Mountain is so much more than its prejudicial and controversial reputation. A film that arguably should have won Best Picture more than any other movie in its respective year, it unabashedly wears its heart on its sleeve and dares you to look away. Saddle up and come along with us as we celebrate this film’s cultural impact as well as its lasting legacy. Plus, conversations about the weird internet mob mentality against Anne Hathaway, “hard soups”, proms with only 3 students, Nathan chugging beans (literally), and so much more with returning guest Michael Moss. And, as always: f--- Crash.
You can read Moss’s essay on the film here.
Brokeback Mountain stars Anne Hathaway, Michelle Williams, Jake Gyllenhaal, Randy Quaid, Heath Ledger. Directed by Ang Lee.
