We take a look back at 2025 - this year\u2019s conversation is packed with personal fandom highlights, expectations that were met (and wildly exceeded), and a few things that didn\u2019t quite live up to the hype. As always, the real joy of these episodes is revisiting the moments that made the year special\u2014and it was even better doing it with friends. We were thrilled to welcome Bobby Robertson from Rebel Scum Con and Jenn Diz from the Disneyholics Podcast to share their own 2025 standouts and pop-culture takeaways.  From conventions to theme parks, 2025 was a huge year for fandom experiences. We all attended a BRAND NEW theme park - Epic Universe!&amp;nbsp; Also, Rebel Scum Con stood out for its sense of community and the unmatched joy of staying right at the host hotel. We also dove into Universal\u2019s FanFest Nights, where the Back to the Future immersive experience completely stole the show, even for devoted Star Trek fans. On the screen, we debated what was overrated and underrated like Skeleton Crew, Fallout and Thunderbolts*.  As we wrapped up the year, we reflected on what 2025 meant on a personal level: the shows we binged, the films that moved us, and the lessons we\u2019d pass along to our younger selves. What lesson would you tell your 16-year-old self? Looking ahead to 2026, we\u2019re setting our sights on hosting even more convention panels, expanding our trivia game shows, and finally unveiling a very exciting, top-secret Star Wars project coming this fall. We can\u2019t wait to see where the next year takes us.  SPONSORS  Small World Vacations is an official sponsor of Skywalking Through Neverland.
