Now that I’ve watched and written analysis pieces on the ten animated feature films of the Experimental Era: Cars 2, Brave, Monsters University, Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur, Finding Dory, Cars 3, Coco, Incredibles 2, and Toy Story 4, I’m going to rank them from my least favourite to my favourite. As I was watching these films, I made some

Read moreThe job of a season finale is to close the season’s story arcs and establish new arcs for the next season (if there is one). I feel this finale did its job very well. The finale picks up from where we left off with Ray, Roz and Helen trying to convince a crying George to come out of the bathroom.

The episode kicks off with the reveal that Tony’s driver licence has been suspended, as an “anonymous arsehole” complained about his driving to VicRoads, which forces Helen to be their chauffeur, with Victor

This episode kicks off with Helen arriving at work to inform everyone that she is making a major announcement at 10am (and it’s not mud cake). It’s
