PAW PATROL: THE DINO MOVIE

PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie follows the recent ten-year anniversary of the global smash hit franchise and one of the world's most popular preschool shows. Building on the success of its first two films, which together earned over $350 million at the global box office, the film sees the return of director Cal Brunker, who co-wrote alongside Bob Barlen. It is being produced by Spin Master Entertainment's Jennifer Dodge, Laura Clunie, and Toni Stevens with Spin Master Co-Founder Ronnen Harary as executive producer, in association with Nickelodeon Movies. The film will have an exclusive theatrical release on July 31, 2026, distributed by Paramount Pictures worldwide, excluding Canada where Elevation Pictures distributes.

In PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, after their ship gets caught in a mysterious storm, the PAW Patrol pups crash land on an uncharted tropical island filled with dinosaurs. They meet Rex, a pup who has been stranded on the island for years and has become an expert in all things dino-related. When the PAW Patrol's archrival, Humdinger, begins recklessly mining in hopes of exploiting the island for its natural resources, he inadvertently causes a huge, dormant volcano to erupt. The PAW Patrol pups are thrown into a series of high-stakes, dino-sized rescues bigger than anything they've done before, as they must stop Humdinger before everything on the island goes extinct.

After seeing Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the newest entry from Sony and Marvel starring Tom Holland, Madison says that no matter what, this is the direction for a true friendly *neighborhood* Spider-Man.

While there are a few other big characters involved, including Jon Bernthal’s Punisher and Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, this feels less Avenger-y and much more grounded. Beyond the story itself, Madison praised the masterful direction, and visuals in this new entry.

SPIDER-MAN™: BRAND NEW DAY

It's a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see.

The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.

Madison gives us his quick take on Christopher Nolan’s newest film, The Odyssey. Adapting the 3000+ year old story wasn’t easy, but as fans and critics worldwide agree, the film is a testament to practical effects, shooting on location, finding story amidst the plot, and delivering a truly epic cinematic experience that is worth the trip to the theaters.

We hope you enjoy this quick recap, and go see The Odyssey, in theaters now.

Madison and Tristan discuss Steven Spielberg’s new film, Disclosure Day (2026), and why Madison believes it’s in Spielberg’s top 15, but maybe not top 5.

We get into box office predictions, current sentiments, and expectations, as well as the lore, Spielberg’s fascination with the subject, and how he deals with it in this film.

A spiritual successor to Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), more positive than War of the Worlds (2005), and less-adorable than E.T. (1982), the film includes nods to Spielberg’s past work while also carving a new enough path in this chase film to be a worthy summer blockbuster.
