You may be familiar with the expression: “With friends like these, who needs enemies?” If so, then you know what a “Frenemy” is. Today on The Score we’re looking at films filled with “Frenemies” – relationships that can be charming… or chafing. Enjoy the on-screen rivalries of Buzz and Woody in Toy Story, Thor and Star Lord in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Davidge and Drac in Enemy Mine.
