We watched an irresponsible amount of television in 2025, and now it’s time to shout about it.On this episode of The We Needed Roads Podcast, we count down our Top 10 TV & streaming shows of 2025 — from prestige TV to the smaller show only Neil tried to make us watch.Join Neil who likely watched more TV than his other 3 co-hosts combined, Marie who checked out if it wasn't gay enough and also only seemed to rewatch the same 3 shows all year, David who luckily avoided the horrors of toddler TV but also because of parenting a tiny person had very limited TV time, and Jose who sent in a list of his top 3 shows (as opposed to 10) because either his amnesia is kicking in or he just watched a lot of mid-shows that didn't deserve a ranking.This list is correct. Until you tell us why it isn’t.If you love movies, TV, geek culture or listening to four people passionately argue about shows… give us a LIKE, drop a COMMENT, and hit SUBSCRIBE so we can lurk in your algorithm forever

Merry Christmas from everyone at the We Needed Roads Podcast!!!
It’s a time for friends, family, peace on earth and goodwill to all men (except Jose). Join the We Needed Roads team as SantaGreggors hosts a wonderfully festive Christmas Movie Quiz where David, Marie, Jose & Luke compete to be the ultimate Christmas movie nerd.
And just like a real family Christmas in this episode there will be swearing, shouting, accusations, storming off and Jose repeatedly being called a bag of dicks, for well acting like a bag of dicks and interrupting Santa Greggors before the questions have been fully asked!
So break out the mince pies, crack open a bottle of something strong and play along at home and let us know how you did and if you beat any of the We Needed Roads team? (Spoiler - you probably did!)

It’s a happy day in Hell — because we’re diving deep into Hazbin Hotel Season 2.
This season took everything fans loved and cranked it up. We got lore, emotions, wild twists, and songs that that are the good kind of tingle.
Vox rises as an incredible villain, delivering some of the most , memorable and entertaining songs of the series. The music is top-tier — from emotional ballads to heavy metal bangers. And yes… Huskerdust fans are absolutely broken-hearted after the finale.
Lucifer cements himself as Hell’s Number 1 Daddy, stealing scenes with charm, power, and goofy dad energy. And Alastor? A mad genius, both terrifying and brilliant — Season 2 had big plans for him and it delivered.
Sir Pentious is a good boy now!
This review covers character arcs, new lore, the emotional devastation, Vox’s rise to power, Alastor’s cunning plan, and how Season 3 sets can’t come soon enough.
If you love Hazbin Hotel’s chaos, music, and heartbreak, this is the breakdown you don’t want to miss.

We don't have time to bleed but we do have time to get into all the bloody spoilerific carnage (PG-13 carnage that is!) in Dan Tractenberg's 3rd Predator film, Predator Badlands.Join Neil, David & Jose as they hunt for answers in their full spoiler review of Badlands and ask questions like 'is this actually a Predator film?' & 'Have they turned the Predator into a Disney Princess?'
We're only joking with those questions but some people honestly believe that and we also get into the films reception, as well as giving our own personal rankings of the Predator Franchise.
And try and stop Jose rating films he hasn't seen!!!#predator #predatorbadlands #ellefanning #dek #kalisk #bud #dantrachtenberg #predators #thepredator #shaneblack #disney

James Gunn’s Peacemaker is back for Season 2 — and after the success of Superman, Gunn brings his signature chaos he created in season 1 into the new DCU.The We Needed Roads crew teams up with @TheHowdyBeansPodcast to break down the wild mix of action, comedy, and trauma that makes Peacemaker one of DC’s most unpredictable shows.John Cena’s Peacemaker continues to wrestle with his demons (predominately daddy issues), Freddie Stroma’s Vigilante once again steals every scene, and Danielle Brooks’ Leota Adebayo gives the series its emotional core amid the madness.We dig into James Gunn’s balance of cheesy rock music, violent absurdity, and surprisingly heartfelt storytelling — and ask the big question: was Peacemaker Season 2 really necessary, or just ridiculously fun?
Alien: Earth crash-lands on FX and Hulu — the first Alien TV series from Noah Hawley, set two years before Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi horror classic.
Starring Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, Adarsh Gourav, and Timothy Olyphant, this series brings the xenomorph terror home.
But is Alien: Earth a bold new evolution for the franchise — or the worst idea since dressing a dog as a xenomorph?
We break down the good, the bad, and the “because the plot said so” moments, diving deep into the show’s visuals, pacing, and questionable science.From deep space to Earth, the Alien legacy continues — but is this one worth surviving?

James Gunn’s Superman is kicking off the new DC Universe, finally bringing back colour and joy to the DCU.
We break down the good, the bad, and the WTF of Superman (2025) — including spoilers.
We discuss what works, what worries us, and what we’re hyped for.
David Corenswet dons the red trunks and cape, delivering a Superman we’ve been missing. Clark Kent, however, barely gets a byline.
Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane sugar addiction has us all a bit concerned.
