3 Month Favourites | October - December 2025

 I always try to keep the Oct-Dec favourites post on the shorter side because I've got a longer one going up tomorrow, but I still managed to find 10 things/people to write about!

Favourite Movie (1): The Long Walk

I've got a review of this going up in the new year so I won't say too much here, but I wasn't expecting to like this film as much as I did, so it was definitely a pleasant surprise. It's worth watching if you haven't seen it yet, though it won't be for everyone!

Favourite Movie (2): Wicked: For Good

And in contrast, one that I knew I'd probably like. Again, a review is going up in the new year but after hearing mixed reviews I was a bit apprehensive. But thankfully I really liked it. I know the play well so I knew what I was getting into and it completely met my expectations in a great way.

Favourite Movie (3): The Running Man

And what was probably my biggest surprise of the last few months! I hadn't heard great things so I didn't rush to see it, though I knew I would eventually. I was so surprised by how much I liked it! It was exactly what I wanted it to be: fun, a bit silly, exciting and tense. I would definitely recommend this one - and I'll be reviewing it properly in the new year, as with all the other movies I've mentioned.

Favourite TV Show (1): Bridgerton

I was really late coming to this show - though thankfully I fell in love with it in time to hopefully get it all finished before the next season in January. Admittedly, my plan was to watch season 2 only, based on both what I'd heard about it, and also a newfound Wicked-inspired love for Jonathan Bailey. But I completely fell in love with the show and all the characters, so once I finished season 2 I just kept going and I'm completely loving season 3. I'm hoping to finish it and go back to season 1 to get that done in time for the new season. I'm also planning to start reading the books too - that's how much I love this world! I can't believe it took me so long to get into.

Favourite TV Show (2): Fellow Travelers

Already being a fan of Matt Bomer, once I started getting into Jonathan Bailey's filmography, starting this show was a no-brainer. I had a vague idea of what it was about but I didn't expect to get completely sucked into the world of these characters. The story takes place over 40 years and is so many things, including a story of love, and a story of tragedy. It's a really powerful story with characters you have no choice but to love, and I'd definitely recommend it.

Favourite Song: Wicked: For Good Soundtrack

Unfortunately I can't say that I love every song on the soundtrack - there were definitely some that could have, and should have, been a lot better. But the ones that I've listened to over and over again are 'As Long As You're Mine' and 'No Good Deed'. They were both great in the movie, but they are also such great songs to listen to without the backdrop of the movie. There are other great songs on the soundtrack, but these are the two I keep going back to.

Favourite YouTuber: Zoe Sugg

I mention Zoe's vlogmas in this Favourites post every year and nothing has changed! The way I interact with YouTubers has changed so much over the years, but videos like these are still a source of comfort, even if I just put them on in the background. It's great to have something to get you into the festive spirit every day up until Christmas - and I'm so behind that I'll probably have some to watch into the new year too!

Favourite Actor (1): Jonathan Bailey

Surprise surprise! In the last month I've watched Wicked: For Good, Bridgerton and Fellow Travelers, and earlier this year I watched Jurassic World Rebirth, Heartstopper and rewatched Broadchurch, so it was pretty much inevitable that he would be on this list. He's been in a few other projects that I want to check out and I can't wait to see more of him!

Favourite Actor (2): Chase Infiniti

I made no secret of how much I loved One Battle After Another, and of all the performances in the movie, Chase Infiniti's has stuck with me the most. I first saw her in her first TV show 'Presumed Innocent' and she was great, so I was happy to see her in a new project, and she completely blew me away. I'm really pulling for her to get an Oscar nomination and I can't wait to see where her career goes from here!

Favourite Actor (3): Glen Powell

I haven't paid much attention to Glen Powell before the last few months, so it was a surprise when I looked him up before seeing The Running Man and realised that I've seen more of his movies than I realised - and always liked his performances. That prompted me to re-watch the ones I'd seen, particularly the rom-coms, and I had a really great time! Rom-coms are a dying genre so I really appreciate the work he's done to keep them in the public interest!

And those are my October - December favourites! Come back tomorrow for my 2025 favourites!
