Weekly Recap: How to Train Your Dragon, Materialists & More!
The dragons have returned, but do they need a matchmaker?
The dragons have returned to Birk this week, but now in live-action form. How to Train Your Dragon is back in remake form, and I have a review for the film. I also have write-ups for Celine Song’s Past Lives follow-up, Materialists, as well as Fear Street: Prom Night, Fear Below, and more. Plus, we have our latest episode, a new episode of The Summer of 2015 at 10, along with our newest Out Now episodes covering Ballerina and The Phoenician Scheme. So, feel free to check out all these reviews, podcasts, lists, trailers, and other fun. Enjoy, stay safe out there, and thanks for reading!
