An interesting-enough overview of all the things that being "American" can mean, though ultimately the format (and time) was clearly too restrictive and the writing lacks the level of intellectual introspection that makes Fry so much fun. Decent, but hardly essential, and very cursory in places.

A wonderfully witty pile of slapstick and fun. It peaks a little too early, but that peak is so high you can't really fault it. It's nice to see a modern take on farce that lands this well.

The rare sequel that - in some ways at least - is better than the original. Overall, I think it does come second, but it's still a fantastically fun film which holds up remarkably well.

A true classic. Funny, clever, heart warming, and with enough hidden references that even 20 years on I'm still finding new things to love and laugh about.

Beautifully animated and surprisingly enjoyable, but the story and characters are now quite 2D in comparison with modern kids films and the morales are looking a little old hat.

A novel enough retelling to feel worthwhile with some great new creature designs, but not a huge improvement on the original in terms of story.

A weird yet heartwarming tale that simultaneously feels like a very by-the-numbers Disney film and a whacky oddball that has no right to exist, yet I'm glad it does.

Amazing archery and some fun ideas buried under a lacklustre plot and an overly designed, fairly derivative aesthetic that never quite pulls itself together.

A fun American twist on a great tale that spends a little too much effort trying to make it a standard kids film and skips the source material as a result. Gotta love the soul Muses though.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D proved that the MCU could be bigger than film and continues to reinvent itself season after season whilst keeping its core as solid as ever. It had a rocky start, but once it hit pace it has continued to go from strength-to-strength.

A heartwarming look at a British-Pakistani family in the era of Thatcher and rising fascist sympathies, through the lens of Bruce Springsteen. Quirky, yet very enjoyable.

A competent examination of British uni life in the 2010s that gets too caught up in its own drama and ultimately fails the characters it creates. JP and Howard are great though.
