That film in question follows Buzz Lightyear after he and his crew are stranded on a faraway planet, and with no hyperspace crystal to charge their jump into outer space, Buzz takes it upon himself to be the hero that will get the ship off the planet.

'Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers' Review: This Is My Multiverse of Madness

When I first heard that Disney was going to make a live-action version of Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, I was highly indifferent for two reasons: the first being that I was never a big fan of the Rescue Rangers series, and secondly, there is the issue of Disney remaking their animated classics into live-action.

But WOW! This movie was such a great surprise!

'The PEZ Outlaw' (Documentary) Review | SXSW 2022

The PEZ Outlaw has to be one of the most interesting yet crazies documentaries I’ve seen in a while. It is in a sense a true-crime documentary, but it is unlike any that you have ever heard of.

Steve Glew was a machinist suffering from depression until he began collecting cereal boxes, a casual hobby that grew exponentially once he discovered PEZ dispensers. An obsession that would turn into one of the craziest law-breaking acts you’ll ever see.
