Is Loki setting up Kang the Conqueror as the next big bad? Also we watched Luca so we've got updated Pixar film rankings, sad sea cucumber stories and need to know if Matt is secretly a merman?

Pixar's latest, Luca, is an Italian charmer. Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, and Salma Hayek return in Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard but perhaps some franchises should stay dead. Finally, Edgar Wright's The Sparks Brothers will bring you into a club of cool kids music that you wish you'd been a member of long before.

Loki is upon us and we're wondering why we're willing to overlook certain churn in comic books but not on screen. Also In the Heights is a very musical musical that takes advantage of the move to the big screen format, but would a non-musical lover be able to tolerate it?

Welcome director Chris Appelhans for the new animated film Wish Dragon. We chat about the challenges of making a film under severe constraints, hilarious language misadventures in China, and the great Jackie Chan.

More about Wish Dragon:

In Sony Pictures Animation’s Wish Dragon, Din, a working-class college student with big dreams but small means, and Long, a cynical but all-powerful dragon capable of granting wishes, set off on a hilarious adventure through modern day Shanghai in pursuit of Din's long-lost childhood friend, Lina. Their journey forces them to answer some of life's biggest questions – because when you can wish for anything, you have to decide what really matters.

Lots of expectations on In the Heights and somehow Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jon M. Chu, and Quiara Alegría Hudes' film soars above them. Plus the new animated film Wish Dragon on Netflix.
