Summary
"Toy Story 5" is now available for streaming on Disney+, featuring beloved characters Woody, Buzz, and Jessie in a new family-friendly adventure. The film showcases impressive new technology and is designed to appeal to audiences of all ages.
In addition, a new stop-motion film titled "Wildwood," directed by Travis Knight, is set to hit theaters soon. The film, based on a lengthy book, runs over two hours and is noted for its stunning visuals and sweeping score. However, it faces criticism for its simplistic storyline and themes, which may not resonate with younger viewers due to its PG-13 rating. The narrative follows a young girl named Prue and her brother as they embark on a rescue mission in a dangerous magical forest, but the film's execution leaves many questions unanswered.
While "Wildwood" impresses with its animation, it struggles with character development and plot depth. The film's violence and mature themes, including animal deaths, may not be suitable for younger audiences, prompting a cautionary note for parents considering taking their children to see it. Overall, despite its technical achievements, the film falls short in delivering a compelling story.
Show Notes
Wildwood Review - A brand new stop-motion film called "Wildwood" hits theaters very soon. It's based on an epic book, full of magic and epic battles. Travis Knight captures the amazing world with wonderful animations but the formula feels very familiar and the long runtime doesn't do much to build out the world.

You Can See Everything Spoiler Reaction - I talk about all the insane moments in the new A24 film, "You Can See Everything". Elizabeth Holmes and her boyfriend Billy are very strange ducks. I talk about the "Whose on first" routine, the shower scene, the Charlie Kirk exchange and much more!
Clayface Movie Review - The DCU brings the villain Clayface to the big screen. A bit of a puzzling move when the last two movies in the James Gunn universe were overly colorful Superman/Supergirl films. Clayface is anything but that. It's dark, somber and features a character who will go through some major changes.
Sacrifice (2026) Movie Review - Netflix has another crappy film trending this week. It's called "Sacrifice" and it stars Chris Evans and Anya Taylor-Joy. Much like Digger, this is a dark comedy that focuses in climate change and the hypocrisy of those in power.
Street Fighter (2026) Explained - Street Fighter is an absolute mess in the story department. There are so many little plots going on and so many characters to juggle, the film just can't be bothered to closing many of them out. I do my best to recap the film from beginning to end.
