[Movie] Pixar - Toy Story 5
I’m a Pixar kid, unapologetically. And I’ll be honest, I thought the Toy Story franchise was cooked after the third film. But to my pleasant surprise, I actually really loved Toy Story 4 and, now, Toy Story 5.
This new one was very clever, very funny, and, at times, very emotional. I am continually surprised by how they are still able to come up with creative original stories using a lot of the same characters and premise. Toy Story 5 centers on the relationship of children and technology, with the main villain being an iPad-type thing, voiced by Greta Lee.
I have to say, Conan really stole the show for me as the potty training toy, Smarty Pants.
[YouTube] New Rockstars - HOUSE OF THE DRAGON RECAP: Everything You Need to Know Before Season 3!
House of the Dragon is back, baby.
The first episode of season 3 just came out on Sunday, and it was kind of a banger premier. While the first two seasons are filled with a lot of slow-moving plotting and scheming, this episode was all action.
Not without its flaws, but I’m excited to see where it goes from here. Time will tell if I’m still just riding high off the immaculate vibes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
Season 2 came out almost 2 years ago, so if you need a refresher, this video should get you up to speed before season 3.
[Beer!] Montucky Cold Snacks
This last weekend, I was handed a blue can with a horse on it. “Montucky Cold Snacks” it read, and I thought that was a hilarious brand name. I didn’t expect it to be all that good.
But for a cheap light beer, it more than does the job. It’s actually pretty good!
I was warmed to learn that Montucky donates 8% of its profits to local charities. In California, they have partnered with SheJumps, a nonprofit focused on promoting women and girls participation in outdoor activities.
