What we’re Enjoying
After the premiere of Agatha All Along on Disney+, Jay jumped headfirst into another Witches’ Road. He watched The Wizard of Oz for the first time in years. Turns out it’s still a good movie and really quite creepy. It’s easy to find and a definite classic you should revisit (or check out for the first time) Shua and his wife ventured out to a movie night at the Alamo. Without many expectations, they were pleasantly surprised by the newest animated interpretation of a classic toy, Transformers One. With a good story, an all-star cast, and great animation, it really put everything together in an entertaining way.
