Are you not entertained?!!! We certainly were in 2025, a pretty solid year as far as new releases were concerned. Not only that, but one can always delve into the past to discover – or rediscover – a wealth of classic movies, series, songs, books, and more. In that regard, every year is slightly more entertaining than the one before it (when you really think about it).

From comprehensive movie guides to streaming schedules to the Urban Dictionary’s funniest words, here are Man of Many’s best entertainment stories of 2025.
1. 2026 Australian Open Prize Money Revealed
Nothing puts the butts in the seats quite like professional sports, especially when there’s huge prize money on the line.

Both the men’s and women’s singles winners will walk home with $4,150,000, respectively, which leaves plenty of money on the table for other competitors. Tennis, anyone?

Have you heard about ‘The Science of Scare’ study? Currently in its 6th year, the study tracks audience heart rates to determine which movies are truly the scariest of them all. We can spoil a few titles by saying that Sinister yielded the highest spikes in beats per minute (BPM), followed by Host. The cult movie Skinamarink came in at #3, which already has us questioning the study’s credibility. Read the list for yourself to see if you agree or disagree with the “science.” Either way, you’re bound to find some scary good movies.

If you’re looking for schedules and highlights, we have you covered.
