On this episode, JD and Brendan discuss Dean DeBlois’ remake of his own film in the new live-action How to Train Your Dragon! We also bring back a very special guest, JD’s son Sam, to get his thoughts on the film as well. While we are massive fans of this franchise, and even thought it could adapt well into live-action, we had our reservations going into the film. And it appears that our trepidation was justified, even at the risk of being against the grain to mainstream audiences.

On this episode, in collaboration with our Best Movies of the Decade conversation we had on Episode 641, we thought it would be fun to discuss all the changes to our Top 10 lists for the first half of the decade! While we loved our Top 10 lists at the time we originally conceived, they of course evolve over time, with some films rising the ranks and others dropping spots. Either way, it was quite enjoyable to talk about all the differences.

Pixar has an illustrious resume, one that is perhaps hampered over the last decade or so, but there’s no denying the prowess of their best work. The Toy Story films are remarkable (with the first of them rendering Pixar as a household name). Coco, and Luca are notable in recent years.

On this episode, Brendan is joined by Ryan McQuade of AwardsWatch to discuss Mike Flanagan’s new film The Life of Chuck! Flanagan has a passionate relationship with Stephen King’s work, and while that’s admirable, the results have been mixed. The Life of Chuck obviously got a rousing reception out of TIFF last year, even winning The People’s Choice Award, but was that just festival hype? We discuss why that might be the case and more in this conversation.

My son got first place in the breaststroke once again! 🥹 https://t.co/TKs88keu4d
Doesn’t engage with the sentiment at all, criticizes a typo (as if those never happen on this app) and then proceeds to block me. Over an innocent mistake lol But yeah, often am drowning in work or tweeting while my kids are screaming. That tends to lead to typos. https://t.co/9mjjbbGuvb
I expect the reaction to The Phoenician Scheme to be even more all over the place than usual for Wes. It compliments this era of Wes well, but also doesn’t simultaneously. It’s a weird mix. It’s not nearly as good as Asteroid City or the Dahl collective, but I love its high’s. https://t.co/RkA7h0wtBs
