396. Win or Lose

Pixar's Win or Lose is the first TV (or rather streaming) series from the studio and man do they hit it out of the park! Following the little league softball team The Pickles we see different perspectives from one week of events through the eyes and anxieties from different members of the team. It's a great concept and some of the most solid execution from a studio that, in my opinion has been losing a lot of it's magic. But they've got it back now and this one is a homerun! Toon in now for Win or Lose!

395. Invincible Season 3

393. War of the Rohirrim

Lord of the Rings War of the Rohirrim wasn't hyped or really talked about even by Warner Bros Discovery, and it wasn't lighting critics up either.

With a talented director and gorgeous art design that sucks you right back into the Peter Jackson trilogy Rohirrim takes home some strong thumbs up from this crew. Toon in now!
