Show Notes

On this episode of Project Big Screen, we’re joined by Robbie Fox and Kelly Keegs to review two major releases: ‘ZOOTOPIA 2’ and Season 5 of ‘STRANGER THINGS’. What makes Zootopia 2 stand out from the slew of animated sequels from the house of the mouse? And has the 5th season of Stranger Things justified the enormous wait between seasons? We also dive into some of the bigger news stories of the week including a surprising new trailer featuring Glen Powell, plus reactions to movies and series we were watching for the past week… We finish the episode with a ranking of the 10 Best Talking Animals Movies — what do you think deserves to go #1?
