Star Wars: The Bad Batch - The Return

“A Different Approach” picks up events with Omega (Michelle Ang) and Crosshair (Dee Bradley Baker) on the run together and the new pup teaching the old dog a few new tricks as Omega takes the lead in less murdery plans on getting back to the rest of the squad. It’s a nice little episode building the comradery of the two characters even more before delivering them to a remote location in time for a reunion.

Kung Fu Panda 4

Noticeably missing all five members of the Furious Five, DreamWorks rolls out a new Kung Fu Panda sequel this time centered around Po (Jack Black) being asked by Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) to choose the next Dragon Warrior. Each of the films in the series has had an emotional core tied to Po and his journey. The script clumsily deals with Po’s latest milestone rushing it into happening instantly and also somewhat haphazardly ignores his development in previous films when logic, common sense, or the franchise’s canon might get in the way of a gag (such as Po not being able to find the inner peace he mastered two films ago).
