PG-Movie Dominance, AI Slop & SkinnyTok: 2025 in Review

2025 review

As we all prepare to ring in a new year, the Plugged In team decided to take a look back on the year that was and discuss some of the trends that stood out in 2025—things we found interesting, encouraging or maybe concerning.

To be honest, we probably could have talked a lot longer about all the things that made a mark in the entertainment and technology space this year—but there’s only so much time left in 2025, so we did our best to boil it down to the major topics.

What movies stood out in another down year for Hollywood? What is “SkinnyTok,” and why might it be a problem for your kids? And who’s Tilly Norwood, anyway?

I’m joined by Emily Tsiao, Paul Asay and Bob Hoose to discuss those topics and more in our video roundtable linked below. We hope you enjoy the conversation. Be sure to let us know what 2025 trends stood out to you in the comments section!
