How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World - Where's the 3??

Send us a text

It’s the end of an era—Jon and Donald are saying goodbye to How to Train Your Dragon with the final film in the trilogy: The Hidden World. And just like Toothless, the pod is going out with a glow-up and a few tears.

This week, they dive deep into the bittersweet farewell of Hiccup and Toothless, complete with wingsuits, wedding bells, and an existential dragon migration.

🔥 In this finale episode:

• Why The Hidden World is basically Iron Man 3 for dragons
• The (frustrating) mystery of the Light Fury's motivations
• Trust, partnership, and the real emotional weight of letting go
• Is Astrid actually the main character of this movie?
• What was the trilogy’s true loss? (Hint: it might be your childhood)
• How this film pulled off a nearly perfect epilogue—and where it missed
