Project Hail Mary Could Be Your New Favourite Movie (Spoiler-Free Review!) + Is Hoppers A-Tier Pixar?

This week on FoF we venture into the unknown with PROJECT HAIL MARY, Ryan Gosling’s new Sci-Fi Epic that is so sweet and funny you’d forgive yourself for calling it the Rom Com of the Year. I discuss why the comedy is landing, why it’s Gosling’s most complete performance in years, and whether it matches up to Interstellar for pure spectacle.I also give you an adults POV on the new Pixar movie HOPPERS. I talk you through the established Tiers of Pixar Greatness and place Hoppers on the scale, before discussing it’s brilliance and drawbacks. We finish off with a new edition of Forrest Grump (ranting about my cinema experiences), this time realising that I’M THE PROBLEM?! And finally an extract from my 2008 Movie Journal.
