About this episode

Rob Scal reviews Pixar's 'Hoppers' and Colleen Hoover's 'Reminders of Him' while discussing their themes and character decisions.

It’s Oscars night , so this week we’re staying firmly in the movie world. I break down two very different new releases I watched this week: Pixar’s surprisingly successful animated film Hoppers and the latest Colleen Hoover adaptation Reminders of Him . First, we talk about why Hoppers might signal Pixar finding its momentum again — from its strong box office debut to its environmental themes, its clear Avatar -inspired premise, and where it sits in the wider Pixar catalogue. Then we switch gears into a much messier conversation about Reminders of Him : questionable character decisions, chaotic morality, casting choices, and why the film ultimately feels flatter than the emotional drama it’s trying to be. Plus, I wrap things up with Songs of the Week , featuring new music from Lena, Mitski, Dorian Electra, and more. 🛒 Mantra Matcha: Blends With Benefits - Premium Japanese Matcha 💰 Get 15% OFF | Promo Code: OVERSHAREPAMPHLET https://mantramatcha.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLET You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets
