I did notice the turtle at the beginning is named "Crush" like in Finding Nemo, and there's a nod to Ralph Eggleston (RIP, he was a lovely man!) and For the Birds at one point. But yeah that ending shot...years of research! I've also heard that a new Toy Story 5 character shows up in Mabel's room

'Hoppers' review: Pixar hops into a different decade - InBetweenDrafts Pixar’s 'Hoppers' is charming, thoughtful, and occasionally hilarious. But its optimism feels aimed at a world we no longer live in.

Guess I'll be one of the Debbie downers on HOPPERS, unfortunately. Good* movie, but kind of a frustrating watch for a variety of reasons.

Love is Blind Season 10 Episodes 1-6 Review - InBetweenDrafts In the first six episodes of Love is Blind Season 10, Netflix has overcorrected since Season 9, and the Ohio pod squad is paying the price. %

About ten seconds into reviewing a reality show for the first time, my inbox is now a PR hell.

Anyway, I wrote a whole bunch about Love is Blind and its new season and you.
