The fall of 2025 is shaping up to have something for everyone.

Whether you can find it on the big screen or the small screen, whether it's truth or fiction,

the time between now and the end of the year

is packed with stuff we're excited to see. I'm Stephen Thompson. And I'm Linda Holmes. And today on

NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour, we're offering up a guide to some of the movies and TV we are most

looking forward to this fall. Joining us today are our co-hosts, Aisha Harris.

Hello, Aisha. Hello. I don't know if I'm ready for fall yet, but here we are. Here we are indeed. And Glenn Weldon, hello, Glenn. Good to see you, buddy. Hey, friend. All right. So this one doesn't need a ton of setup. I will mention because it's going to come up that Aisha and I are just back as we tape this from the Toronto International Film Festival.

Other than that, I want to dive right in. We are just going to share some of the stuff we're most excited about that's coming out this fall.

We hope you'll be looking forward to these things as much as we are.

Stephen, I'm going to start with you. What are you excited about this fall?

Well, I'm going to take, you know, first pick as a big fat pitch down the middle. And I'm going to say that I am excited about the movie Wake Up Dead Man, a Knives Out mystery. Now, Linda, you and I have

watched Knives Out movies together before.

I remember sitting next to you in the theater at a screening of Glass Onion,

the most recent Knives Out movie.

And I feel like you and I were just, like, thrumming with happiness every single second

of that movie.
