In this week’s episode of The Austin B Media Podcast, film critic Jack Martin of Film Feeder joins me to break down Disney's live-action Lilo & Stitch remake. We explore why the film feels like a "poorly paced" and "poorly edited" rush through the original's story beats, whether it has any of the original's heart, and how it ultimately earns the tagline of being just "kinda Lilo & Stitch."

Does The Final Reckoning stick the landing? My guest Ben Miller and I discuss the epic highs, the lazy lows, and if it’s a worthy finale.
