Episode 240 - 2025 was a huge year for movies, TV shows, gaming and tech, and in this special year-end episode of Tailoring Talk Magazine, Roberto is joined by Jon and Alex to look back at the things that stood out the most. This isn’t a definitive “best of” list. It’s a personal, opinion-led conversation about the films we couldn’t stop thinking about, the TV shows that hooked us, the games we spent far too many hours playing and the tech that genuinely changed how we work and relax. We discuss standout movies like F1, Superman and Weapons, TV series including Severance, Fallout, Andor and Dark Winds, gaming obsessions such as Arc Raiders, EA FC 26 and Outer Worlds 2, plus the everyday tech and gadgets that impressed (and disappointed) us most in 2025. Expect strong opinions, honest disagreements, plenty of tangents and a lot of laughs as we wrap up the year.

239 James Bond finally feels like it’s moving again. In this episode of Tailoring Talk Magazine, Roberto and Jon get back together to break down the biggest developments in the Bond universe after a long period of silence. With Amazon now firmly in control, major announcements are finally landing and there’s a lot to talk about. We discuss the appointment of Denis Villeneuve as the next James Bond director, why his filmography makes him such an interesting choice and what his world-building approach could mean for the future of 007. We also look at Steven Knight joining as writer, best known for Peaky Blinders, and whether his involvement signals a more grounded, character-driven Bond. The conversation then turns to casting, where Callum Turner has emerged as the current favourite to take on the role of Bond. We break down who he is, why his name makes sense and why a lesser-known actor could be exactly what the franchise needs. Finally, Jon leads a deep dive into the upcoming Bond video game 007 First Light, including its younger Bond approach, Hitman-inspired gameplay, editions, DLC, Golden Gun controversy and whether this game could help define the next era of Bond ahead of the next film. Whether you’re excited, sceptical or somewhere in between, Bond is back in motion and it’s got people talking again.

In this short segment, Roberto Revilla breaks down how the new M5 chip and VisionOS 26 finally push Apple’s spatial computer beyond being a flashy demo piece.
