You guys have asked for it, and now you're getting it: Double the Flagships! Starting this week, we’re moving to a semi-regular schedule of two Flagships per week. Here's how it's going to work: you’ll still get our standard Friday show on your free podcast feeds, but we are officially adding a Subscriber Exclusive Flagship earlier in the week, most weeks. Both the live stream and audio replay for this earlier-in-the-week edition are available exclusively to $10 tier members at FlagshipPatreon.com (http://flagshippatreon.com/) . On our debut exclusive show, we recapped the Royal Rumble, broke down NJPW’s Road to New Beginning, and discussed the shocking departures of Hiromu Takahashi from NJPW and Ava from WWE. Plus, we took a patended banter detour into the stress of self-checkout lines and fast-food ordering anxiety. This will be the ONLY place to listen to our Royal Rumble review, we won't be covering it on the Friday Flagship this week because we already talked about it for 90 minutes!

You may have noticed a trend on social media the past few years of people praising something as "absolute cinema." Wrestling seems to be no different, as internet cinephiles are quick to scream "absolute cinema" at Roman Reigns staring at Jey Uso or Seth Rollins making a face. On this episode, Andrew and returning guest Paul Wedding will discuss some actual cinema, namely songs from movies. They could be songs made specifically for the movie's soundtrack, songs that are just in the movie and come from somewhere else, or film score. Artists played include Aimee Mann, Quincy Jones, Townes Van Zandt, Moby, Motörhead, Carly Simon, Roy Orbison, Geto Boys, and many more. Grab some popcorn and put your cellphones on silent, we're going to the movies!

With Japanese wrestling having an uncharacteristically quiet week, it's the perfect opportunity for us to take a look back at the best of 2025! Voices of Wrestling just rolled out its 2025 Match of the Year poll (always one of the coolest things the site does every year), and John is joined by four fellow voters: Joshi-ing Around's Tim Hunter, Social Suplex's Chris Whitehead, VOW's Sean Sedor and Brady from, uh, an organic cooking company? Anyway! All five of them go over their own personal ten favorite matches from 2025 in great detail, as it's basically 4+ hours of them raving about what they loved most in wrestling last year (and also throwing some shade about what they didn't love so much- ok, mostly just John does that). Then, as if that wasn't enough 2025 award audio for you, John also recorded 45 minutes of solo audio that's tacked onto the end where they go over their Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards ballot in detail, explaining who they voted and why for Flair/Thesz, Most Outstanding Wrestler, Best Promotion and a whole lot more!
