Episode 241: ‘Despicable Me 4’ and ‘Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot’

LISTEN TO THE PLUGGED IN SHOW, EPISODE 241

Longtime villain Gru may be good these days. But what about his latest movie?

Well, we give you our opinion on Despicable Me 4 in our review. But we’ve got more to say about this movie, the Despicable Me franchise and the animated movie industry as a whole—more, in fact, than one little review can hold. And where do we say it? On The Plugged In Show, of course!

Host Adam Holz chats with Kennedy Unthank (who reviewed the latest Despicable Me movie), Bob Hoose (who reviewed the previous three) and me about Gru and his minions. And we’ll bat around whether Illumination Entertainment—the company behind the Despicable Me franchise—might be doing family entertainment better than Disney these days.

You might say it’s a rather animated conversation.

Then, Adam and I will turn our attention to another movie—one being released today, as a matter of fact. That’s Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot, the latest offering from Angel Studios. It’s an inspirational, faith-based film that doesn’t skimp on either inspiration or faith. Moreover, it’s based on real-life events. Adam has plenty to say about Sound of Hope, and we hope you’ll listen in.
