Welcome to Part 1 of the “Holy Sh*t, 2025’s Been Wild” recap. In this episode, I’m breaking down the games that slapped the hardest this year (so far) — from time-bending co-op chaos to samurai assassins, hellish metal murder-fests, and yes, even a gorilla who sings. You’ll get spicy takes, swearing, praise where it’s deserved, and a few roasts along the way.
So if you’ve been wondering what’s worth sinking your time, soul, and sleep schedule into… I’ve got you.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
