Episode 135: "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World"

If HTTYD 2 found a way to be a good movie but a great sequel, Hidden World comes out as an okay movie and a disappointing sequel with a weird ending, though bolstered by its even more impressive animation and satisfying action scenes. Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.
