Why Toy Story 5 Broke Me [Spoiler-Free Review]

This week on FoF we tentatively turn to the world of Toy Story in hope that a 5th movie can recapture the magic of the original trilogy. I talk through how it hit me as a new Dad, and whether I thought it was successful on par with the previous classics.

Disclosure Day Review (No Spoilers) & Scorsese AI Rant

This week on FoF we are reviewing Disclosure Day, the new blockbuster movie from Steven Spielberg about government extra-terrestrial cover ups. We discuss comparisons to his own movies Close Encounters and War of the Worlds (and…Crystal Skull), as well as Arrival from Denis Villeneuve. I go through what works, what doesn’t work, and whether Spielberg did enough Spielberging to make this worth a trip to the cinema. This review is SPOILER FREE, meaning anything that is shown in the trailer is fair game. We also find time to have a good impassioned rant about Scorsese joining forces with an AI company.
