Minions & Monsters Beats Toy Story 5—Plus New Toys and Comics!
1. Movie Battle: Minions & Monsters vs. Toy Story 5 —Minions & Monsters opened July 1 and narrowly defeated Toy Story 5 over the July Fourth weekend. It earned approximately $36.4 million over the three-day weekend and $61.4 million over five days, while Toy Story 5 earned another $31 million during its third weekend. However, Toy Story 5 remains the bigger overall hit, with approximately $764 million worldwide so far. That creates your main discussion:Did Minions really defeat Toy Story, or did it simply win one weekend against a movie that had already been playing for two weeks?
2. Spoiler-Free Movie Reviews — 5 minutesMinions & Monsters: The Minions attempt to become stars in 1920s Hollywood, enter the changing world of motion pictures and accidentally release monsters while trying to produce their own movie. Topics to discuss:
Were the Minions still funny?
Did the old-Hollywood setting make the movie feel different?
Were the monsters entertaining or frightening for younger children?
Is the Minions franchise becoming repetitive?
Movies: Is It Too Soon for Another Moana? —
Disney’s live-action Moana, starring Catherine Lagaʻaia and Dwayne Johnson, opens Friday, July 10. Your discussion should not simply explain the movie. Ask:“The animated movie is only ten years old—are audiences excited to return to Motunui, or is Disney remaking movies too quickly?”You can briefly report that Minions & Monsters defeated Toy Story 5 over the July Fourth weekend, earning approximately $36.4 million against Toy Story 5’s $31 million during the traditional weekend. Then tease Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, opening July 17, as next week’s major movie story. 2. Toys: LEGO Pokémon Comes Alive — 6 minutesThis should be the lead story of the episode. LEGO announced 12 Pokémon SMART Play sets that respond through lights, sounds, motion, and sensing without requiring a screen. The collection launches August 1. Your strongest examples:
Training House with Pikachu: $69.99
Charizard vs. Jolteon Ultimate Battle: $119.99
Jigglypuff Concert: $14.99
Mewtwo’s Lab Break: $69.99
Cubone and Gengar’s Spooky Showdown: $89.99
Your Nerd Side question: Is interactive LEGO an exciting evolution, or does adding technology take something away from traditional building?
3. SDCC Collectibles: The Best and Strangest Reveals — 4 minutesMattel has revealed eight 2026 San Diego Comic-Con collectibles. The best ones for your audience are:
