Question of the Week - What was the first Christopher Nolan film you saw?

When it comes to disposable, child-friendly entertainment, Illumination has been delivering it consistently for the last decade and a half. Ever since Despicable Me was released back in 2010, it has been impossible to escape from Gru and his Minions. While the Despicable Me franchise has had 4 films, the Minions franchise has two spinoffs with the third now hitting cinemas: Minions and Monsters. Is it possible for a 7-film running franchise to still be entertaining? Make sure you listen to this week's review so you don't miss the answer.

Question of the Week - What live-action Disney film would you like to see get an animated remake?

Milly Alock did not arrive with grace in her scene-stealing moment at the end of 2025's Superman. This year, she gets to be the lead of her very own film. Supergirl is the next film in the relatively young DCU. This Kara Zor-El is very different than any other version of the character, and it's safe to say it is going to be a wild ride.
