Ep.60—Fast Hours 2025 Wrapped: The Tools, Shifts, and Wake Up Calls
About this episode
Drew Brucker and Rory Flynn reflect on the significant developments in AI creativity and tools throughout 2025.
In this final episode of 2025, Drew Brucker and Rory Flynn zoom out to dissect what actually mattered this year across Midjourney, Nano Banana Pro, ChatGPT Image 1.5, Weavy, video models, workflows, and the uncomfortable truth about how fast all of this is moving.They unpack the real inflection points no one labeled at the time. Why March quietly changed everything. Why Nano Banana Pro rewired image editing expectations. Why Veo 3 reset video. Why Midjourney still feels magicalWhy workflows (not models) are becoming the real creative advantage.Along the way, they spiral into mood boards, personalization hacks, node-based systems, AI video limitations, why Hollywood feels creatively bankrupt, how Grok quietly became a research weapon, and why Midjourney’s next move might determine whether it stays an artist’s playground or becomes a professional tool.It’s opinionated. It’s nerdy. It’s honest. It’s occasionally unhinged.And it’s the clearest snapshot of where AI creativity actually stands heading into 2026.If you’re trying to keep up, slow down, or figure out where to place your bets next year, this episode is your unfair advantage.---⏱️ Midjourney Fast Hour00:00 – Episode 60…
