212. The Odyssey

The irony of The Odyssey is that it is one of history's oldest stories, but it is the newest film from critically acclaimed director Christopher Nolan. It has been argued that he is this generation's greatest director, and his filmography makes it hard to argue against. This week's review might be adding ammunition to that argument. Listen to hear Kyle's thoughts on Christopher Nolan's newest film: The Odyssey.

210. Minions and Monsters and X-Men '97 Season 2

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.

209. Supergirl

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.

208. Toy Story 5

It is incredibly rare for a franchise to meet expectations over the duration of a trilogy. It is even harder to continue that franchise while still delivering new ideas to your audience. The Toy Story franchise continues to redefine expectations. The fifth instalment in the 30-plus-year-old franchise was released in theatres last week. Listen to this week's review and find out if Pixar was able to defy expectations again.
