★★★ Watched

Honey, I Shrunk the Watchlist (Round 4)!... 15 of 35
-->Watch a cult classic/movie that just seems bonkers

Not as bonkers as I thought... and a lot more thoughtful and philosophical. It's a pretty short runtime that doesn't quite justify the length... but it is interesting and introspective.

Hot Take McGee here... and trust me when I say I wish I wasn't. I wish I could lie and say I loved The Wild Robot. It'd oil the gears, smooth the framework, make me one of the agreeable. But I loathed the experience of watching it.

The flick is about a household robot accidentally lost on an isolated wilderness island full of critters. She has to find a purpose which turns out to be raising a gosling and teaching…
