End Credits #380 - February 26, 2025 (The Wild Robot)

This week on End Credits, we're heading back into the wild! Things always get pretty wild when it comes to Oscar-season as one team of PR flacks tries to 86 the other, but things also get wild on an uninhabited island where even robots can enjoy a world without rules! On this show, we're reviewing The Wild Robot and we will talk about the Oscars!

This Wednesday, February 26, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss:

Not An Oscars Ballot. The 97th annual Academy Awards will be given out this Sunday live from Hollywood. Who will win? We'll get to that. Emilia Pérez has the most nominations, but not many fans among cinephiles who would much rather see honours go to Brady Corbet and The Brutalist or Sean Baker and Anora. To start this pre-Oscars show, we will lay out the ones we think will win the show, and the one's that should win.

REVIEW: The Wild Robot (2024). Speaking of the Oscars, the movie we're reviewing this week is nominated for one. The Wild Robot debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival last September, and then it had long legs in theatres even long after it was released on premium VOD. Why? That's what we wanted to find out so this week we check out The Wild Robot, which you can now stream on Prime Video, to see how this Oscar-nominated film hit a nerve and maybe if it will hit our nerves too.

End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
