The Chronicle

"We found you!" The Chronicle Film Podcast is back with another packed episode featuring reviews of two of this week's biggest cinema releases.

In Episode 63, Paul and Nick discuss Evil Dead Burn, the latest instalment in Sam Raimi's legendary horror franchise. Directed by Sébastien Vaniček, the film follows Alice (Souheila Yacoub), who travels to stay with her late husband's family after his funeral, only to discover a terrifying evil lurking beneath the surface.

The conversation then turns to Disney's live-action Moana, starring Dwayne Johnson as the returning demigod Maui. Does this new adaptation bring enough fresh ideas to justify revisiting one of Disney's most beloved modern classics, or is it another remake that struggles to recapture the original's magic?

Expect honest opinions, spoiler-free reviews, plenty of laughs, and our verdict on whether these films deserve your time and money.

The toys are back!

In Episode 60 of The Chronicle, Paul and Nick take a closer look at Disney and Pixar's highly anticipated Toy Story 5.

As one of animation's most beloved franchises returns, the question is simple: has Pixar delivered another magical adventure, or is the series beginning to show its age?

Set years after the end of the "Andy years", Toy Story 5 sees Bonnie's toys facing a challenge unlike any they've encountered before — technology. Jessie takes centre stage as she battles for Bonnie's attention against a tablet named Lilypad, whose influence threatens to change the toys' world forever.

Featuring a star-studded voice cast including Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Tony Hale, Greta Lee, Keanu Reeves, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Conan O'Brien and Alan Cumming, Toy Story 5 aims to bring both nostalgia and fresh ideas to the franchise.

Join Paul and Nick as they discuss the film's story, characters, animation, emotional impact and whether this latest adventure deserves a place alongside Pixar's finest work.
