DC League of Super-Pets (2022) – Sam J. Levine, and Jared Stern

Y’know what? I was pretty charmed by the animated DC League of Super-Pets. It’s one of those family films that actually has things for the whole family.

Smallville (2001) – Cool, and Hourglass

Sure it’s another freak-of-the-week episode, but the series is still finding itself, and building its characters and narratives. Cool first aired on 13 November, 2001 and was written by Michael Green. This time out, Sean (Michael Coristine) apparently drowns in ice-covered Crater Lake.
