Thirty-one years after Woody and Buzz first captured our hearts, Pixar is back with Toy Story 5 — and this time, the toys are facing their biggest competition yet: technology.

In this spoiler-free episode of Movies I Give a Fork About, AJ explores Pixar’s extraordinary animation, the return of our favourite characters, and why Jessie’s emotional journey takes centre stage as Bonnie discovers a whole new world of digital entertainment.

With familiar voices, hilarious newcomers, and a soundtrack connecting the franchise’s past and present, Toy Story 5 delivers more than another nostalgic adventure. It raises a surprisingly relevant question: in a world dominated by screens, are we leaving enough room for imagination?

Is a fifth instalment really necessary, or has Pixar found another story worth telling?

Tune in to find out whether Toy Story 5 earns AJ’s forks.

In this deeply personal episode of Movies I Give a Fork About, AJ reviews Run Terry Run, Sean Menard’s documentary about Canadian icon Terry Fox and his extraordinary Marathon of Hope.

Featuring newly discovered archival footage and firsthand accounts from those who knew him, the film reveals the young man behind the national hero. But for AJ, this documentary is much more than a history lesson.

In 1981, at just nine years old, AJ spent nearly two months in a Calgary hospital battling a serious illness. During that time, a nurse shared stories about Terry Fox that helped her find the courage to endure her own painful treatments. Forty-five years later, watching his story unfold on screen brings back memories and emotions she hadn’t revisited in decades.

AJ reflects on Terry’s remarkable determination, the heartbreak of a life cut far too short, and how her perspective on his story has changed from childhood to motherhood.

It’s a conversation about courage, sacrifice, the lasting influence of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and why Terry Fox’s legacy deserves to endure for generations.

Aaron Sorkin returns to the world of Facebook sixteen years after The Social Network, this time exploring the whistleblower revelations that exposed troubling questions about social media, corporate accountability, and the algorithms shaping our lives.

In this episode of Movies I Give a Fork About, AJ discusses The Social Reckoning, its talented cast, including Jeremy Strong, Wunmi Mosaku, Mickey Madison, and Jeremy Allen White, and why a film with such compelling subject matter and an acclaimed writer-director left her surprisingly underwhelmed.

From the influence of social media on public opinion to our growing indifference toward corporate misconduct, AJ considers whether the film’s message is more powerful than its storytelling—and why even an important story doesn’t automatically make a great movie.
