April has been busy, so we’re kicking things off with a look at what we’ve been watching — from Mario's Galaxy-sized identity crisis to Michael’s cinematic misadventure, plus a detour into Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, which may or may not be the most cursed resurrection of the month.

Then our brand‑new series All‑Age Animation begins with a deep dive into The Simpsons: the legacy, the chaos, the yellow‑skinned cultural takeover. Yes, we talk Bart. No, we don’t do the Bartman.

Our Short Short Film Film Review returns with the beautifully crafted animated short Umbrella, which somehow manages to be both heart‑warming and emotionally devastating in under ten minutes.

And finally, the Cruise cruise sails into the end of the 1980s as Tom levels up with his first Oscar‑nominated performance in Born on the Fourth of July — a role that marks the moment he stops being “movie star Cruise” and starts being “actor Cruise.”

Four segments, one umbrella, several mummies, a cartoon dynasty, and a Cruise going prestige. It’s a packed one.
