This month on Flick Fix, the recent releases lean into science fiction in very different ways. Hoppers brings animated chaos and heart as it imagines a world where humans can connect with animals in a whole new way, while Project Hail Mary goes bigger, sending one man into deep space on a mission tied to the survival of Earth itself. Then for the spotlight review, Austin takes a closer look at A Face in the Crowd, the 1957 classic about fame, media, and manufactured influence that feels startlingly relevant all these years later.
