Hello there! This week we'll tee up the new movies, including a new one starring the Minions. I am not a fan. Also, Jeff reviews Enola Holmes 3 on Netflix, and we'll go over the first trailer for the new Robert Eggers movie Werwulf. Jeff checked out Avatar: Fire and Ash, now that it's on Disney+, and I watched some Avatar... the other one... again! I rewatched season 2 of Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix, and it helped me formalize some more thoughts on why having good characters is SO IMPORTANT YES I AM YELLING - Brett
