Talking Simpsons - Bart vs. Lisa vs. the Third Grade
This week we're reaching the end of production season 13/starting broadcast season 14 with a tale spurred on by hate of reality TV (not to be confused with the three other eps just like it).

What A Cartoon Movie! - Toy Story 4
In 2010, Pixar seemingly closed the book on Toy Story. But, nearly a decade later, along came Toy Story 4: a movie that set out to continue a story that had a perfect period placed at the end. The result? A messy adventure that kind of breaks the universe, but one that somehow manages to justify its existence. This mon...
