Toy Story 5 is beautiful. It captures how hard it is for kids to make friends and what it’s like for us adults to grow up and say goodbye to the past in a way. It’s the perfect film for those of us who grew up with the franchise and kids getting into it now.

Doing some cleaning and organizing and found some gems @ssnyder1835.bsky.social @jimmypalmiotti.bsky.social
Also had fun with the Mandalorian and Grogu. The action sequences were excellent and some of the effects paid homage to how the OG Star Wars was shot. Story really worked for me as well.
Really dug this one. I’ll never buy a van and live on the road or travel at night again. Had its tense moments. The main characters were actually smart and well acted and written. This one’s a definite watch if you’re a horror fan
When headed to your LCS today let them know that you want to pre order Operation Iron Coffin from @idwpublishing.com and writer @kennyporter.bsky.social with art by Tyrell Cannon. FOC is June 1st. Follow the link to listen to the whole interview: linktr.ee/hopsgeeknews
