Dave and Ryan's Movie Review returns for a week full of reboots. First, the duo reviews Disney's second attempt at giving its iconic attraction, the Haunted Mansion, the respect it deserves on the big screen. The two also talk about other movies that have gotten the reboot treatment. Plus, sometimes CGI looks great, but sometimes it's downright awful!
This week, Dave and Ryan discuss the new Netflix release Nonna's, starring Vince Vaughn. It must have made them hungry, so they talk about movies about food. Since Lilo and Stitch comes out next weekend, they discuss the original animated feature released in 2002.
This week Dave and Ryan went on the road for the premier of Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot, a true story based in the foster care system in Texas. Do we need to redefine what it means to be a blockbuster? Dave and Ryan look at some of the things that may be leading to the slowdown at theaters. In the last segment, they look at 2025 releases that Hollywood may be banking on to bring the box office back around.
This week, Dave and Ryan revisit Toy Story, which was released 30 years ago. Pixar has been around a lot longer than you think. We deep-dive into the studio that has released 29 features since 1995. Last week, it was Venice; this week, we're discussing the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF) and some of the films that were screened there.
