Oh, I know, it’s really just a reference to the Simpsons gag (The Wizard of OZ, D-, etc.). I do feel like... well, it’s not specific to you guys, a lot of critics do it, but I feel like sometimes too much weight is given to innovation over execution. “One might argue that Coco could stand to be weirder and more

When a reviewer writes, “Time and again, Jazz comes across..” that’s a clear signal that execution is being discussed. On the other hand, I see little evidence of the reviewer questioning Weir’s

OF COURSE BACK THEN WE CALLED CLOUDS ‘LUMP THUMPERS’ AND WE HAD TO MAKE THEM OURSELVES AT A GIANT LUMP THUMPER FACTORY IN

This felt like a movie that blew all its good jokes in the trailer - a trailer that was so damn long you understood the entire plot before you even hit the title reveal.

I know ‘boy trailers are too long’ has become the 201X equivalent of an aeroplane food joke, but they really are too long and too revealing. If you
