Good Night Oppy

 Count me in for Good Night Oppy!

Finch

This may be the greatest robot movie ever made. I don't why it took me so long to watch it. I hope one day to own a copy. "An epic adventure is on the horizon. Meet Finch, a man who takes his unconventional family on the journey to hope and humanity. Check out this first look at Finch, streaming now on Apple TV+" Right now streaming is the only option to see this film.

IMDb says, "On a post-apocalyptic Earth, a robot, built to protect the life of his creator's beloved dog learns about life, love, friendship and what it means to be human." More at IMDb here -https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3420504/
