After a wobbly first part and a disaster second part, this non-fan-favorite DC animation reset actually surprised me by being pretty good. Easily best of the three… mainly for managing to cohere the big crazy plot into something that made … Continue reading
Under the Boardwalk was an overlooked 2023 animated film that I heard was pretty good. One of these two things was true… it was definitely overlooked. For some inexplicable reason, it’s about hermit crabs living under a Jersey boardwalk and … Continue reading
