James Gunn does it again with a new misfit crew to pour our hearts into. While there have been more than a few animated shows for adults in the recent years, not many do it better than Creature Commandos!

The most cinematic show on tv. Elevates the game to a level where I thought it wasn’t even possible.

A coming of age film that centres the experiences of a young girl with cerebral palsy. There is a lot of care and compelling storytelling methods to convey Melody’s emotional journey.

Reawakening covers much ground with introducing new audiences, recapping existing and enticing all with what’s to come. The world and character building are top tier.

A thrilling return that expands the world and deepens our connection to Sung Jin-woo. The emotional core remains strong, while the action is amped up to new heights. A must-watch for fans of the series and newcomers alike.

Interesting addition to a well beloved series with cool animation and focus on the Rohirrim. The story is enough to carry the intentions but layering the motivations of the perceived 'good' or 'bad' parties could have elevated the film further.

With Miyazaki-esque charm, Hera proves a strong and capable leader. Wulf brings unexpected heart, making him a surprisingly rootable antagonist. Well-paced and deeply resonant.

The Franchise plays it straight in a zany world that is spiralling out of control. The characters have unique voices that play well to the chaos of filmmaking.

Wicked leads with heart, speaks to the misunderstood in us and finds the perfect balance of honouring the beloved world and standing out on its own.

Tapping into Indigenous lore and an ensemble of well beloved talent carry a considered lens. At times, it felt as though, the potential to dig deeper was simplified for a broader understanding.

Delivers a compelling setup and shines as an Indigenous horror story. Strong performances anchor the film, but its unrealised potential leaves lingering “why” questions.

Red One may be wrapped differently but brings the same warm festive cheer needed during the merry season. A bit of action and a lot of heart.

Venom tried something new in a familiar world of pop culture. The foundation built on fleshing out Brock’s character and motivations made it stand on its own as canon.

Pacing issues aside, Venom establishes the quirky Brock-Venom dynamic perfectly. A fun setup that hints at the chaos to come without overdoing it.

Let There Be Carnage allowed itself to tap into human emotions without the manipulation of family friendly fanfare. Sure, it’s a simple cautionary tale of how far you will go but love but it is also bolstered by the power of friendship.

The best of the series—crazy, fun, and full of Brock and Venom’s dynamic. Skipping heavy world-building lets us dive into their characters. Hits all the right notes!
