But the real discussion is a long overdue one: We dig into, deeply, the success of "Obsession" and "Backrooms," which is about age and moviegoing changes and what makes people fall in love with the movies in the…
They made another "Toy Story!" Can "Toy Story 5" live up to the legacy? Meanwhile, the guy who directed "Pig" made a movie called "The Death of Robin Hood" with Hugh Jackman.
