 Intro: Winner of our logo competition

Film Roulette

Review: Hoppers

Jon and Will dive into Pixar’s Hoppers, a funny, weird, surprisingly dark original that feels like a real test case for the studio’s future beyond sequels. They talk Bobby Moynihan stealing the movie, Jon Hamm’s silly-guy energy, Pixar’s recent slump, and whether Hoppers is a true return to form or just a charming anomaly. Also in this episode: Film Roulette, the naming of the new show logo mascot, and a brief but inevitable detour into Pixar Theory.
