Are You Screening? Podcast

This week we're looking at Toy Story 5, which obviously is a tricky beast for us and millions like us, who remember going to the original. It turns out that it is perhaps a bit hit-or-miss, for us anyway, but does it live up to the franchise? We're also looking back at Widow's Bay, now that the first season is over, and even though we already did this a bit last week, we air our love/hate struggles with this one. It sucked us in and kept us going, but it also frustrated us... a bit.

This week we're looking at a couple of things that have been out for a bit, but we really wanted to check in with... but, for opposite reasons. We're covering Apex, a surprising film, but really only in that it has such big names and so little hype led to its release. We're also, almost accidentally, covering Widow's Bay, which is just fascinating whether you love it or not.

It's that time of year, and we're finally giving you our Best of the Year lists. This was an unusual year, and we'll take you back through it a bit as we run through our favorites. We'll also give you quick reviews of some of the films we haven't covered yet (because 50 films hit in the last month), and make sure you know which movies you still have to see. It may seem like this year has been wrapped up with a bow, because the same movies are winning all the awards, and show up on all the lists, but there are a few surprises out there. Our lists generally go a little odd anyway, and we've got to gear up for our own award special in two weeks - The Can't Win Awards, where we honor those movies and people who did great work that just isn't going to get noticed anywhere else
