Summary

Currently in theaters, Hoppers is the 30th feature-length film by Pixar Animation Studios. That seemed like an important enough number for us to turn to one of the evergreen questions: what's going on with Pixar, exactly? Tim is joined by Zev and Cameron to reminisce about the studio's history and mull over its recent run of films that mostly haven't lit the world on fire at the box office or in reviews. Before getting to Pixar, Zev brings Agnès Varda's very first film, La Pointe Courte , to our movie roundtable, while Cameron revisits a childhood favorite, Return to Oz . At the behest of Patreon supporter Hallvarður, Tim checks out the 1996 Icelandic dark comedy Devil's Island .
