MOVIES AT GRANDMA'S HOUSE NEWSLETTER

Hello, Movie Lovers!

Welcome to this week's Movies at Grandmas House newsletter! In our latest podcast episode, we asked: Does The Lego Batman Movie (2017) build something spectacular, or does it crumble under the weight of its own bricks?

This animated comedy takes us inside the plastic world of Gotham City, where Batman's solo crime-fighting lifestyle gets disrupted when he accidentally adopts eager orphan Dick Grayson and must learn to work with others—including new police commissioner Barbara Gordon and his loyal butler Alfred. We dive into its clever satire of superhero culture, the film's surprisingly heartfelt message about family and connection, and whether this brick-by-brick deconstruction of the Dark Knight delivers both rapid-fire humor and genuine emotional depth as Batman transforms from a brooding loner to a team player—proving that sometimes the greatest superpower is letting people in.

Plus, we've found some amazing deals on movie posters from MoviePoster.com, Amazon, and more—check them out!

📚Uncle Seth’s Corner: Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2

Today on Uncle Seth's Corner, he’s picking up the pace with Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2! These high-energy adventures bring one of the most beloved video game icons to life, racing from Green Hills straight into your heart. The first film introduces Sonic, a fast-talking, even faster-running blue hedgehog who finds himself on Earth hiding out in a small town. When the evil Dr. Robotnik sets his sights on Sonic’s powers, our speedy hero teams up with his new friend Tom to save the day. With heart, humor, and plenty of high-speed action, Sonic the Hedgehog proves that heroes can come in unexpected forms—sometimes even with blue fur and red sneakers. Then in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, the adventure kicks into overdrive! Sonic faces a brand-new threat when Dr. Robotnik returns—this time with the powerful Knuckles by his side. But Sonic isn’t alone either: fan-favorite Tails joins the fun, and together they race to stop Robotnik’s plan for ultimate power. Packed with thrilling battles, laugh-out-loud moments, and heartwarming teamwork, the sequel shows the true power of friendship and courage. With incredible action sequences, fun nods to the classic games, and a cast that brings these iconic characters to life, Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 are perfect for families, gamers, and anyone who loves a good hero story.
