What's up, everybody. Welcome back to rewatch. Oh, yeah. It's rewatch. It's rewatch. We're doing Toy Story. Why are we doing Toy Story? Because Light Year's coming out.

Why is Light Year coming up? Because Disney likes to make money. So they're going to put out another Pixar movie. But this one actually looks pretty good. And we are going to talk about the one that started it all in 1995. And I need you guys to subscribe. Look at that. Hit subscribe.

You can check that out.

There's a Sith Council one there. There's a lot of different things in there. It's myself. It's Winston Marshall. It's Corey Jandrow. Back from Star Wars Celebration. Let's do it. Let's get into it.

Well, what's up, everybody? Welcome back. We're back with the rewatch. Boy is here. Winston is here. Trying to dance. Hey, you know. Come on.

You're dancing. Yeah, see, much better. Much better. It's like the Adam Collins dance in the beginning. The shirt does 80% of the work, though. The shirt does 80% of the work. Welcome back. One in one and all and all in one.

I got to, I normally love to comment. compliment how well your thumbnails are going, bro, but you actually messed this one up? This one I haven't even done it yet. That was clearly a Toy Story 2 or maybe a 3. Well, that wasn't a thumbnail. That was just the screen. Well, you had Jesse, you had bullseye in there. You got ahead of the curb.

Now I need you to follow something. I'm going to ask me if I care. As a follow up, I do you care? I just automatically going to curb the comments before people go, oh, Krikin, that was in the right one. Oh, yeah. I do see that now. I do see that now.

Yeah. Hey, Toy Story 1, Chris. Look at the Toy Story 1. Does that work for it? Toy Story 1. You have saved their lives. We are eternally grateful. That's true.

It's also Toy Story 2. You just erased Jesse! So yeah, this is Toy Story 1. We're doing three. We have people who are really enjoying this rewatch series. Did you meet a lot of people's celebration that like the rewatch series? I had a great bunch of talks about people like liking this insanity. Like more about us than the actual rewatches, which is just complimentary.

Yes, it's true. So we have, we have, we have. been doing the rewatch series, we're going to be doing it every week. We are going to be doing, and the way that if you're brand new to this series, the way that we normally do it is we talk about a movie that's kind of coming into a release, for example, so Toy Story leading into Lightyear, we've done Jurassic World, Jurassic Park leading into the new Jurassic World, we've done the Batman movies, we've done Spider-Man, we've done a lot of them. So after this is Thor, right? That's our next one after that. So we have quite a few kind of leading up. We're going to be doing it.

We'll have a double week because light years than three. Right. So we're going to be doubling up. I think we're going to put one out on Tuesday, one out on Friday. But we also have, you know, we got, what are the other ones we got coming up? We got Nope after Thor. Yeah, we're going to do the Jordan Peel movies. We're going to do Avatar when that comes out.

We'll probably do the first Shazam. We were talking maybe Creed for, you know, next. Was you do the Rocky series? Yeah, I'm very sad about that. We're going to do. The director's cut, which I haven't seen. We'll do the first black. I just haven't seen Rockies.

Dude, that's so great. How many of you seen both creeds? I've seen Rocky 3 and Rocky. for crazy. I'm so excited. I had to. For a hosting audition, they just wanted me to talk about 80s stuff.

They're like, watch Rocky 3 first real quick. And I was like, why is Mr. T a goddamn genius? I can't wait for you to understand why Rocky 3 is genius. Hey, there, woman. You want to see a real man?

Come over to my apartment later than that. I'll show you what a real man look like. Career. And a career. Hey, Winston, yeah, you can try to come over. Watch what's a little bit of Rocky. What?

Watch Rocky 2. What? I can't wait. I cannot wait to have you watch those. We have a lot. That's the whole point. This is going to be a lot. And so we figured,

why not get into one of the classics here in Toy Story? And before we started filming, Winston was like, you could obviously tell the dramatic improvement that they made. Because Lucas film, I think that George Lucas kind of came up with the original technology to do all this. And they sold it to what Steve Jobs or whatever it was.

Yeah, Steve Jobs produced. I, Josh Sweden wrote this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So weird to see that name. He's all one of one of, but yes, yes, he is. I just didn't expect. He was top build. He was top build on it.

I didn't know Steve Jobs and Jossweed never had co-credits. Yeah, I know, right? But it's also lets you know, like, I mean, obviously he had Buffy running not soon out, not long after this, but just, again, somebody that had just been in the industry forever and you don't realize it until you go, wait, what? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Big credit.

And so we had, um, that this movie comes out 95 and it was the reason why it was so big not just because well Steve jobs was involved because of the transformation in technology and the kind of traditional 2d or whatever it was animated like the aladdin's if you will i don't know if it's two whatever it is about whatever it is yeah the aladdin all those movies this is the 93 was 193 was Aladdin and all the big disney movie so this was a this was the shift this was the one that changed all i remember first feature link cg i film you still had uh the the last Disney movie was Lion King. And the reason why I actually remember that is because, I don't know if you caught it at the end, because Disney loves to do this little meta stuff. When they're moving, Molly is listening to Hakuna Matata.

It would have been the soundtrack. That was very popular at the time. You could have heard that on the street. When was Hercules and... In Tarzan? In Tarzan, I think, I think, if I remember, Hercules is 96 and Tarzan was 7? Well, yeah, you knew, and that makes sense,

You feel that shift. Well, it just because they, if you're Disney at that time, and that's still your bread and butter for animation, and you have this project that you have confidence in, obviously. Sure. You don't know that this is going to shift animation. Yeah, and you want to have like the same thing you know you do well immediately. Because if it doesn't work.

Yeah. Way off. Hercules is seven. Tarzan is 99. Oh, wow. What was Pocahontas? That might be the missing. Yeah, maybe that was it.

It's crazy that we lived, like, we were at the perfect age for a lab. 95. 95. So it came right after. No, it was 90. Yeah, right. Yeah. Same year. So that, so that explains, you know, that's, okay, look, our traditional ain't going anywhere. Yep. So they thought. Yeah. And we're going to just stick with, well, let's give this thing a shot. And then once they, you know, nailed it. Then they still, we got to do the second one. I remember seeing this in theaters and how big a deal it was to see this in theaters. Because, like, I was seven. And we didn't go to the movies that much. Like, we went to the movies for the big movies. And I remember Toy Story was such a staple of society. I was so hyped.

It was such a big deal with CJI was coming to a head. I think Forrest Gump. Everybody went up and saw this movie. It was such a big thing. Because I remember as a kid being geeked out about it as a kid and how many times, I want to say we saw it in theaters at least two or three times. And I broke the VHS on this one.

Yeah. But I remember parents having their mind. So I'm older than you guys. So we saw, we were, we were working at a movie theater. I was a teenager. And we took a group out and saw it. We were all stoned out of our first. faces.

Yeah. Just kidding. Must have been amazing. Just kidding, kids. And we were, but it was, but it was awesome.

Yeah. And I remember, because we were just, because the thing is, the reason why is because I worked at a United Artist Theater, right?

Oh my God. I remember those. Yeah. And they would play, oh dude, this place was a zoo. I've told, I've told stories about

Barnaby, the mustache twirling. Yeah. Yeah. The guy would clip the thing with the, with the cutters for the Mortal Kombat machine.

And, it's always the arcade, guys. No, so I've told this story. I've got to tell you, if you never heard this story, I have to tell it briefly. Because I've told this story many times over. It's one of my fears. So the guy we called Barnaby, I don't want to say his real name.

I've told stories about him on Collider Live. I've told him on this. He worked at United Artists. This place, everybody ripped this place off. Everybody. It was just, it was an absolute disaster. Just like sneaking in the back and stuff. People, when people were, one of the ushers at one point says,

I'm going to take a nap in Congress. because Congo was playing at the time. So he's working on ship. So he slept for the whole time. And he was, and they would, this guy, Barnaby, would steal the carbon, the soda boxes, the carbons and sell them to pizzerias for higher places. And they never kept a good inventory on it. I didn't know that part of the story. Oh, dude.

He made a business out of it. So any, and he would, he would, well, you wouldn't love him too much if you went there because what he would do is he would, he would basically, he had a, he had a scam going with the concession stand. And he would take the, because they had an inventory on the popcorn stuff, he would get it out of the garbage, clear it out, and resell it, have them resell it. Oh, okay, he's lost me. He had me. But he still, but he made all that money off it because he was just reselling. Well, you go to the dollar store, you get the same candy for a dollar, then you sell it for five bucks.

This guy. That's how you do. That's the line. You think that this is a great plan, but what you really have to do is get your supply cost down. So my favorite story about my little sister is she, she, would get my mom to buy her all this stuff for like sack lunch and she's like I don't like the lunches at school like we could save some money can you just buy me stuff for sack lunch she said sure then she's my sister would go to school with like 12 peanut butter and jelly like chips and a soda and she would sell

them for 10 dollars a pot and she had no she had no supply cost because she wasn't paying my mom back and i bet she's doing pretty well in life i mean she is let's see what she wrote on charmed yeah uh she's got movies coming out right now so one of one of two things happened one of one of two things happened happens. You either go that route, jail. And what do you think Barnaby? He's in jail. He was. He was. But not, not, but he was taking popcorn out of the trash. She didn't take a trash. But people like that still, but now he's, he's out now and he's, and he's thriving again. So, but anyway, Wolf of Wall Street. But, but, but so what he did was, his real name was Jordan Belmont. This was my, this is my favorite. And I've told this again, I've told this stuff.

For people, for new subscribers are going to hear it. For all ones, I hope you like the story again, because it's one of my favorites because it's insane. So Mortal Kombat at the time, this is around And it will all link back to Toy Story, I promise. But so 95, the Mortal Kombat machines, they were everywhere, no matter where you went, the arcade, and they were everywhere and lived in Queens. And you couldn't go into a place and not, and people were shoving money into them and just. So Barnaby found a way to Jimmy open the things to get the quarters out. And he would just, people would come in and just play in Mortal Kombat all day, and he would just reap the benefit. So the guy that came into check is like, what the hell is going on?

Yeah. He's like, this is the most popular game. It's got $7 in it. This theater is the only one that this machine is not making a profit. Is that a loss? It's like, there's something going on. And they're like, we don't know. We don't know.

So it keeps happening. He's like, so they put a lock on it. Yeah. And they put a lock on the thing. So Barnaby comes in one day. And we're like, oh, let's see how he's going to react to this. Because this is his bread and butter. So all the ushers are just waiting to see how he's going to deal.

The man walks in and stops and sees the lock from like miles away. And stops and doesn't say a word. Doesn't say anything to anyone. On shift, clocks in, walks out the door. He's gone. Like, well, where the hell is he? 10 minutes later, he comes back and he's got big box cutters. He already had him.

No, he went to the hardware. He went to go buy them. He went to the hardware. He's locked in, so he's still making money while he's getting ready to rob this machine. Yes, on the clock. He went to the hardware store. He bought box cutters. He clips it, takes all the money out.

Returns box cutters. Returns the boxers. Because you're not going to make a profit. Maybe buy another lock? I don't believe he did. Because I got to imagine that dude, because that was one thing about the story I always asked. I don't know. I don't think he thought ahead, Barnaby.

I don't think he's thinking of the future. I'm going to text him and ask him. I don't know. You're still friends with him. Oh, yeah. I love you a part of his number. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

I'm gonna, I see. Did you ever buy another lock? Hey, comma, when you bought the box cutters for the Mortal Kombat machine, comma, did you replace the lock? Or did you just walk out and leave the lock unclipped? I'm trying to remember. See, I don't keep these people. Like, I don't know the arcade guy from my youth.

I love that you still have. I've known this guy since the first grade. That's incredible. So he is, and so like I said, So he did all that. And he, so he replaced the, he replaced the lock.

And then the guy comes back and he goes, What the hell's going on? I believe, and Barnaby's just with this big smile. We used to say, we used to talk, that he was, the reason we called him Barnaby

is from the March of the Wooden Soldiers, Laurel and Hardy. Yeah. He really seemed like that, well, well, well. Like he would do that. Cigrew up, did fine. He did.

So anyway, so that, the reason that all comes into play is because. Top of prizes. Yeah. The video that would play for the screens would be all these. The two movies I remember playing all the time, the trailer.

There were two, one that we were like, well, that looks interesting. And one, we were like, well, that's going to be a pile of dog crap. The dog crap one was called Cutthroat Island. And here we are. And then the other one was Toy Story. That's right. And the other one was Toy Story. Yeah.

And we were like, that looks so interesting. It was so unprecedented. What a concept. Yeah. Because the Lord knows we as, again, you see they open up, which is so smart. You open up, not with the toys moving, with what every kid. did. You had your action figures. You're like, yes, it's a Mr. Potato Head, but right now it's an evil genius. Yes, it's a little pig, but now it's like a cop helping out the sheriff and like

just playing these games to set up then cool. Great job, everybody. You killed it. Absolutely awesome. Keep, you know, whatever, whatever. Because we get to activate the magic with them. Oh my God. And I feel like that it wasn't Disney magic. There was no like a little sparkly dust. Right. It was literally they were just alive. Like there, it wasn't a on off Indian in the cupboard thing. It was they just were. The only thing that I think is a small plot hole personally, if Buzz Lightyear thinks he is really Buzz Lightyear, why does he freeze? And he does that a decent amount of times before he finally accepts that he's a tour. I think it's just part of their makeup, but they can't really help themselves. But right, why doesn't you show? I mean, I've thought of that too, but I think that's something you got like that. Yeah, that's one thing. Obviously, especially as a kid. No, I know. I know. I know you're for sure. But I love their time.

Maybe they'll answer it light year coming out in three weeks. That's right. But the idea of it, though, the idea of it. is so sweet. Well, it's just a really smart and kind of clever idea about the toys. Because you always thought about what happens with your toys. Yeah. You leave the room. What do they do? And I didn't remember how much they lean into he thinks he's the real light year. I said like multiple times

in the film and it's mentioned like there are aliens. There is a restaurant. He needs some milk. Oh, that's amazing. So he wrote me back. He said the lock was on but it was clipped that way we had That way I had easy access to the back when I wanted to. Damn.

That's creative. What a boss. That is so creative. I'm out here advocating for a criminal, like, for literally a criminal act. We're just on camera. It's smart, bro. But he's not, he's, of course he was. Everybody else was to make a minimum wage and trying to get free popcorn.

This guy was making like Jordan Delford money. How you get a Mustang, bro? How you get a Mustang? Mortal Kombat. He would drive to pizza place after pizza place selling the carbon thing. And they would. And that's hustling.

Wait, what carbon thing are you talking about? So you know the carbon soda that gives you the bubbles in the soda from the fountain. It's connected to it. Well, yeah. Oh, so he would steal it from the theater.

He would take the inventory from the theater. And he would drive around, wait for the shipments to come in and say that the shipment was light and that the factory didn't give it, whatever it was. And you don't catch up for a long time because it's, long time. He said, he said, he said.

And also, like, the syrup of those theaters. Like, you get, like, 200. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it then goes to the carbon and then water. So that was the thing. When you just said carbon, I'm literally thinking, like, rocks. No,

no, it was these big boxes. I understand what you're saying. And I remember, and I remember at the time, like, they were, I think that the theater was getting him for like, you know, I think 60 a box or whatever it was.

And he would sell him for like 40. So it would go, it would go to him. Dude. God. Hustling. Definitely Sid. Sid energy. He made smarter.

Big sit energy, bro. So it made no surprise that when we were going out, like afterwards all the theater employees, like, I got it. I got it. Yeah, I mean you're all accomplices. He better got it. You mean the whole town's got it from all the schemes you got going. Moral Combat's got it.

Sub-Zero's got it. He's an investment in Mortal Kombat. He's invested. Don't worry about it. He's hilarious. I genuinely hope he ended up being an executive producer on the new Mortal Kombat film and we just didn't know about it. His response.

Long game. His response. Thanks for the memory. Barby. Does he have like two kids now? One's named Sid. He's got one day of Andy. He's got three kids.

Sid, Andy and Molly, please. No, no. I'll tell you, his ex-wife, I don't know. I don't want to give too much information. That's fair. Yeah,

if people get some context, they'll narrow it down. All right, Barbie, three kids. But either way, I thought about having him on the show, but I'm terrified of what he would actually say.

Just the amount of knowledge has been shared. I just don't know what he would say. He's, he is, I remember one time, and this is, this is more of a, this is more of a,

Barnaby, this is your life, and there's Twister, and we'll get back to it, I promise. It's just, I remember one time I was pretty hammered, and he was there, we were at this house party, and he's just a wonderfully weird dude, and they had like this, what kind of dog was it? It was like an, I don't know, Kida, but it was like this big kind of fluffy, but hulking dog.

Wasn't a husky. I can't remember, but either way, I look over, and he's like, and they were playing trance music. Again, this is like in the mid-90s, and he's techno dancing with one of the dogs. He's got the dog He's got the dog Remember he's just going like this with the dog

And the dog's like And he's just like come on Come on Come on And then another time We were all again hammered And we were at my house At this party

And my mom had all these Nutcrackers And he liked the fact that people Called him Barnaby right So because he would go Well well we shall see And I swear I walk into this room

It's like this dark room He had no idea I was there He was playing with the nutcrackers going, we shall see. We shall see. Love that. Love that. And I look over and I said, he goes, ha ha ha ha.

It was like, it was, I'm telling you. He's a pure, pure, like, cartoon villain. I'm not surprised you ended up doing stand-up comedy between the people in your life and Action Park. This all makes perfect sense why you ended up. I could tell Barnaby stories on stage for sure. Oh, easy. Easy.

Yeah. We shall see. We shall see. Love that. That's why it's so important to work in these plays. Like I think I'm a better person for having worked in the theater for six years. Yeah. I mean, look, were you there for six years?

Not an I pick. So I worked at Showcase Cinemas from 14 to 20. So I started the week out for my 14th birthday. And then I got a restaurant job at 20. Well, that job definitely helped me with. Well, help me with this, like for the knowledge of, because I saw so many movies for, for, I mean, I saw Braveheart like seven times when I was supposed to be working. Yeah, I saw so many movies over and over again.

And then I pick was the same where like I'd need to cover movies. So I'd see it a couple days early. It would help my hosting. That is literally why. phase two of the MCU, if I were doing any sort of MCU match, I wouldn't miss a question because I saw Guardians and Winter Soldier over and over

and over. Well, look, I promise that this will be a Toy Story and the Barbie hour. But before we even do that, let's just start here. Let me tell you guys. For video, for video, and Coy and Winston, I told him for the first time yesterday. And now Winston already said he looked it up and I want to hear what Winston saw when he was checking it out. but story blocks video is the most effective way for everyone to capture an audience's attention and as a result modern storytellers are always challenged as creating more video content at a higher

quality, more voices in the process and distributing on more platforms than ever before. And some of the barriers are creators face, whether it's time, budget, knowledge, creative inspiration, passion, burnout. I can tell you that for me, mental health, keeping that. You got to do something to help you out and help your content. Storyblocks makes it possible for creators to keep up with the growing demands for modern video content so you can bring all your stories to life and stop sacrificing your vision due to time, budget, and resources. So what they do is it helps bring all of your stories

to life without sacrificing your vision and because of the time, the budget, and resources, and they have an ever-growing library, and it's demand-driven. They have constantly optimizing and adding 4K, HD footage, After Effects, Premiere Pro templates, music, images, all of it. You can use downloaded content anywhere for commercial and personal use. You have to choose a plan for you that works for you from their flexible subscriptions that scale to give you all the content and tools you need. Now, I am highly recommending this for you guys. I get so many people, and I ran into a bunch of people at Star Wars Celebration. They're saying that they were, and I was humbled by it.

They said they were inspired by Shmo's No, and they were inspired by things that we were doing here, and they were starting their own content. Use this. Check it out. Storyblocks.com slash big thing. Check out Storyblocks and sign up for their unlimited all-access plan. Once again, it's storybox.com slash big thing. Winston, you check it out? I did.

I didn't pull the trigger quite yet, but I will be rent. I just realized, right as I would be like, let me rent. My rent and then I'll come back in a week or two. But I got a chance to check some of the stuff. It is awesome. It's really great. And I'm glad that we're working with them. And not only you're going to help your content out, you're going to help the show out.

You're going to help this show out. So if you want to support the show, that people always ask it, how do I support the show? we have great sponsors like StoryBlocks. Go into the link in the description. Check it out. All right. So we watch this movie called Toy Story. So, but again, the idea that this toy of Woody is the best toy.

He's never, he's, he's, the way he talks to everybody, he's got, he's got Bo Peep that he's kind of peeping on, you know, he's got, he's got the dinosaur, he's got all these people who kind of look up to him. And he's the king. Yeah. King of the castle. And then here comes Buzz Liger. And I love that it, not only is that.

about like growing up and it's coming of age story, but from a different perspective, but it's also about like being insecure and feeling replaced. And there's so many adult themes that are good to learn at a young age. There's so many things. And then there's like adult humor mixed in with the like standard humor, like Mr. Potato Head saying like you uncultured swine and it's a pig. Like there's jokes that I was like,

ah, that wouldn't have been made since then, but I've seen it so many times. You get a different experience. And I also, I don't have kids yet, but I do imagine that when I have kids, rewatching it with them is going to feel like a different movie. It's one of those movies that you can tell. It's evergreen.

And it's such. a universal story that hadn't been told this way in 95. You know what so funny about that is that I was bummed. My youngest, my oldest watched it like Toy Story. Definitely watched a few of them, but it was like not like blown away by it. And then when I try to get the little one to watch the first time, she's like, no, I don't want to watch it.

I'm like, ah, bummer, right? But then there was this story, this Disney book with all the stories, and one of them was Toy Story with Jesse. And she's like, I want to watch Toy Story now. And she blew through all four of them. Yeah. Love them, right?

So, like, it's amazing how what's going on in your psyche at the moment of why you want to watch up or not. I think part of it, and that was the thing. And 95, this CGI, this technology is brand speaking new. It's used so much everywhere now. But I could also see a kid looking at and go, Daddy, why does that look weird? Because the thing is when you look at, for us, what traditional, like, animation was. Right. You know, and then it was offsetting.

She has seen so much of the toy story type technology, but as you're saying, perfected in a different way and the evolution of what that is. Yeah, this is like on TV now. Yeah, but there's shows that have this cranked out of the week. But the story's the story, and it played it and it played to her. And she's also four. So it doesn't, it doesn't really, I don't think makes that much of a difference.

But she, she, she, it's, does the story resonate with people. And it does. It resonated with her. It resonates. And it resonates the jokes, as you were saying, you know. You got different levels. And it's that, it's what makes Pixar movie so special when they hit is that. is that as an adult and as audience,

you can respect it both ways. There's stuff that you said like when you were a kid went over your head, but then you watch it and you go, oh, I picked that up. And I think that's what this really did very well. It's funny because I didn't really know who Tom Hanks was as a kid. Yeah. Until this movie. This is the one that you knew.

This is the one that I knew him from. And then it's so funny. Then I saw him in live action. And I don't even remember. what film. It may, whatever came out soon thereafter. And I was like,

is that Woody? Yeah. Just like straight up, just like, what? Like, but the, the,

the performance is, is the other thing that, obviously the technology sells it and the story sells it, but the performances of Woody, of, uh,

uh, uh, um, of, uh, God, the, the,

the, who's in every Pixar of John, uh, John, no, no, uh,

Oh my God. No, it's Cliff from Cheers. John Ratsenberg. Ratzenberger. I thought Ratzenberger. It was John. It's Cliff Ratzenberger. No, his name is John Ratzinger.

Cliff is John. That's what I thought. Cliff is who he played in Chirons. Okay, that's what I thought. You were right with John. He said no, no, no. And I was like, what? No, you said, you said John Lasseter.

Well, that's the director. No. John Lasseter did director. Did direct this one. Yes, but he also became a big producer at Pixar for a way. I don't know, of course, of course. But John Ratzberger, like, I mean, all of that. I still remember to this day, and I think my favorite joke of this,

which doesn't make sense because I'm what, it's 95. I'm not even 10. I'm like seven or eight. When the very end where they go, Mrs. Potato Head, we have a Mrs. Potato Head. Whoa, I got a shave. And he just takes his thing off. As a kid, I didn't quite get the implications of like, I'm prepping for a date. It's just that he was like, I have to shave.

So you love it. But as a kid, I'm an adult. And then I was saying we came with a teenager, watch it again. I was like, yo, fan. So I used to quote a line that Tim Allen says his buzz when he's, when he's drunk off of the Darjeeling tea. And I for decades, like, maybe 20 years, dartierling was like booze.

Because I was like, sipping on Darjeeling with Mrs. Nesbitt and her little sister. So I was like, yo, Darjeeling's got to be the shit. And then, like, I bet that it was tea because of the Darjeeling Limited. So it took years and I never wanted it. I never Googled it. So, like, Wes Anderson and like Darjeeling. I was like, oh, it's been tea this whole time.

That's what I'm saying. Look, and they also, is it the first one or a second one when he says the delicious hot schmose? Delicious Schmose. I can't remember. Delicious hot schmose is the second one because he thinks, no.

It's the third one. Is it? I don't think so. We're going to find out. The reason why I think it's the third because it's about college. Don't worry. You'll be going with him to, oh,

it's summer camp. You're right. It's the second one. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. It was summer case.

I learned my actual favorite words in this movie. And I learned it in this movie. It's zealots. I was going to say, I thought you're a selfie? I mean, I mean. No, no, but like to be zealous, to be a zealot is something I learned from this because like the aliens going like, oh, the claw. And like Woody says you zealots. And that word just sounds cool.

It's a word. And since I was seven, I've been saying zealots. Used it wrong for years. But it's really cool. This movie's informative and educational. And that's what I'm saying is that you don't, you don't lose anything. You're not confused by it, right? Yeah.

Like there's not things that are going on that you can't keep up with it. Like, it's like there are things you pick up later on. And as you appreciate when you're watching it. Yeah. Like the pizza planet stuff is really is fantastic. The settings are gorgeous. Yeah. They're mapping.

Like it's older CGI so you can see that it's like wall pattern, like floor pattern. But like when they're in the pizza planet, we've lived in these spaces. And all of a sudden there's glow and Buzz Lakers got that glow to them. And like when you go to Disney now, when I see the pizza planet rocket, I still get excited. Like it still feels like my childhood. It's funny because we just went to Disneyland, myself, Steph and Mike for the, for a Star Wars celebration. They had that media thing that they did. And we were walking around there and I saw a pizza planet and I was like,

I definitely need to get some. Still special. Yeah, it's still special. Dude, it's almost 30 years old. So here's the other thing that I'm curious about. Are you guys familiar with kind of the extended lore of toy story that they actually have, they buried the lead a decent amount?

Oh, they put pizza planet in every, in every, there's that, but like we're going to get to it starting with this next one. So you remember Jesse's whole origin story of like, she loved me and all that. So apparently, and you can tell because of the hat that his cowboy had,

if you notice, it doesn't match Woody's hat. It matches Jesse's hat. And the reason why is his mom had the same relation. That was her Jesse doll that she left. Oh. And so the whole lore is the fact that the reason why that Woody toy is so important to her, she remembers the Woody toy from all that stuff.

So it's all interconnected where like she also loved this show. Because remember, that show was old. Yeah. Like Andy is what, like 10 in this and it's supposed to be the 90s? Yeah. And that show is like a black and white Woody show from like the 40s or 50s. You think we'll get that? After Buzz?

You think we'll get like down the line? If Lightyear does well, we get like a Western. Maybe. That's what there's, there's rumors about it. But now with Disney Plus, you never know. Right. It could be literally a show of the show. Tom Hanks is doing Disney Plus stuff.

He's doing Pinocchio, you know. So you never, so you never know. They've done other things that. This movie, apparently, the Light Year is really, really good. I'm so excited. Yeah. So we're going to see that, by the way. We're seeing it next week.

I don't know when the embargo lifts on it, but we're going to see that. So we're pretty pumped about it. but it just shows you the tradition of Toy Story, right? Because it's been around now. There's four of them, 95. And then, see, what we did last time was the box office, right? Let's, let's take, because this is 95. What do we think that this movie has made globally so far?

295. 275? 275? Yeah. You think worldwide? Yeah. I'm going to say more than that. Worldwide?

95 still. I know, but I'm still going to. Are you saying there have been like re-releases recently? No, I'm going to say $4.50. I think that's probably more in the range of where I'm going to go. Because family moves. You also understand I am not good at older box office. You were better than than he was last time on Jurassic Park.

But you say 495. I'm going to say I'm going to go a little higher. I'll say 625. I don't think we get that until Toy Story 2. You might be right. But that's my guess. You misspelled box office. It doesn't matter.

They'll figure it. Just make it. Oops on those more. All right. So let's say. books. It made, oh shoot,

Winston hitting it. Whoa. Winston hit it. 244. See, you shouldn't have doubted yourself. Yeah. What did you say?

I said 275. Okay. So I'm still over, but I'm definitely the close. I just, you guys have got me to retrain my brain now. And for inflation, it might be different,

but you got me to retrain my brain about these 90s movies because I just assume, Black Panther did a million dollars. Maybe Spider-Man did a billion dollars. And movie tickets for like five bucks. Like movie tickets for, That's the thing.

The inflation. Now I want to know what Toy Story's budget was. Because I think when I started at the theater movie tickets were 5.25, I think. It was $30 million to make. And again, 95, that's a lot of money. To make an animated film. That's a lot of money. But I guess the technology, you just.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So $30 million, it makes $244, which is still off a $30 million, $191. It made $191. See, that's hilarious, though. It made more. I want to go. I'm going to check. Yeah, domestically made $191 million.

It only made 52 international. I think that's people, the international audience, because we don't know what this is. I would agree with you. And there's also, I think, more so than normal. It feels like there might be a lot of like American tropes maybe that don't hit as well. And then the cowboy. Oh, Winston was, Winston was on the money with this.

Hey, I was close in the second one. Yeah, but that's what Winston says. The second one was the one that crushed, right? So domestic, 245 for Toy Story 2, 251. Look at that 50 and massive. Massive jump. Like 50.6.49. Massive jump.

Also, for the record, 4.35 was the average movie ticket price. Okay. $4.35. So it makes $4.97 the second one. So now we might as well. Let's go to Toy Story 3. Now, I'm going to guess that that one's got to be in the 600. Toy Story 3.

Got me. Got me. And it's 2010. Box office is very. I'm going to say 800. There was 11 years between Toy Story 2 and 3. Yeah. It made a billion.

Wow. I just didn't want to say it. I thought that was too much. Okay, for the record, but this is worth noting. 435, Toy Story 1 movie ticket price, 789, Toy Story 3. 4 also made a billion dollars. That doesn't surprise me. I won't lie.

I do like Toy Story 4 a lot. I was one of those people that was super pissed they were doing. I remember you saying. I think you came on. I think you were on Clyder Live when you said it, but I didn't mind, I didn't mind them doing it at all. It's like, just because all three of them delivered, and I think the reason why people were so upset about the idea of it

just because the three of them were so perfect. They wanted them to get. Yeah, but I liked, but it's their toys. You know, it's like the fact is that, and the forky thing, the way that played in with this little girl, and they just kind of switched it and pivoted to a new girl. But anyway, that's Toy Story 4.

We'll get there. The fact that this is one of those things where each time they made one, it didn't, it didn't go through what like Jurassic Park did, right? Where it was like, okay, the first one made so much and then the second one took a little bit of, it just doubled.

Yeah, this one kept getting more and more and more and more. It doubled between two and three and three. I can't believe. I mean, I guess when you look at the technology of this first one, the fact that the international audience, A, maybe it wasn't in a lot of markets. Sure. B, we're like, what the hell is this? We don't know what this is, this animation. Where's, where's the Lion King stock? I can't believe it was four years between one and two and 11 between two and three. That's crazy. I know. I remember that being the thing because, what, Toy Story 3 came out 2010. Yeah.

Right? I remember that because it was senior year of college. Yeah. So I remember Andy going off to college having just finished that journey and whatnot. And then also them, you know, obviously you get the big scene, spoiler alert of them almost dying in the giant like trash compact or like incinerator. Okay. I was streaming tears. Yeah. Like, no, they can't go out like this.

And then, oh, dude. Well, let's, so let's, this starts the boom, right? Because this movie comes out in November 22nd, 1995 is a massive, massive hit. The next one is 1998, three years later. Yeah. Because that makes sense. When you, you don't, you don't, if you're at the studio, you don't greenlight, a sequel, you don't green light anything.

You don't green light anything yet because like maybe nobody's going to respond to this. And then it's a hit. You're like, okay, and then it takes two or three years to make the damn thing. So, okay, let's go ahead with Bugs Life. Because then the next one is a year later, and that's Toy Story 2. So the second Toy Story. If I had to guess in that regard, they, Toy Story 1 does well. So Bugs Life was already probably.

They probably had it read. They probably said this is, this is, if this does well, we have this. But as soon as they did that, they also, just knowing how Disney operates, because I have enough family now that have worked on the creative side of it.

Was Disney? They, they will take years. So, like, where a movie, you might be like, oh, we've got the concept,

we'll have it out in two to three. Disney will wait anywhere from, like, three to five. They're like, it's going to be perfect or it's not coming out. Yeah,

because they're brand. Like, they're such a strong. It becomes, but this wasn't Disney of the jump, was it? Like, Disney bought Pixar. That's what I thought,

but it's a Pixar, it's, they were released by, they all were released by Disney pictures through the Walt Disney Pictures Banner with being Toy Story. So maybe they bought them right up. Maybe they were distributing to start, but the names bought them right out. I think they bought it. So Toy Story

Bugs Life and Toy Story 2 start the boom. Monsters Inc. then destroys in 2001. Finding Nemo in 2003. The Incredibles in 2004. Cars, still, it's like, made money. Made money was not as loved as everything else, but still is considered massive success. And a lot of people love cars.

Rats had Toey Nails it. Wally Nails it. Up Nails it. Toy Story 3. So we're talking from 95 to 2010. 15 year hot streak. Money machine. I'm curious because real quick,

Toy Story 3 made a Billy. Yep. What was, is that the first one? Or did Up? Because everybody was talking about Up like it was. So I have no problem doing, we're kind of doing a box office mojo episode. That's okay.

But a bug's life. It still ties into it. Yeah, it does. It bugs life box office mojo. Let's see. We have for Bugs Life, did better than the first Toy Story. Because we've gotten used to the imagery.

We were more prepared for it. It's a funny movie, too. I like Bugs'Ly. So we know Toy Story 2 made 465 or whatever. So Toy Story 1 is the biggest. Then a Bugs Life is the biggest. Then Toy Story 2 is the biggest. So they keep beating it.

So now let's see what Monsters Inc does. If Toy Story 2 was 460 or whatever. it was. Monsters Inc. Then becomes, let's see what it does. 579. It becomes the champion.

So it becomes the champion, right? So Monsters Inc. now is now the champion. Now, what about Finding Nemo? Because the one thing that they did with this,

and they always do with Pixar films, they were from the studio that brought you Toy Story Store. And too, Finding Nemo makes $9. Almost a billion. In 2003. I'm not surprised. Finding Nemo,

Finding Nemo was, the just keep swimming. people were saying that all over the place. Now, as good as the Incredibles is, I can't imagine Incredibles doing better than that. I don't think I cleared a Billy. Because we'd hear it, like, we'd talk about it. I don't know.

It's up, it's up, it. I don't think it's. People love it. Okay. There's no chance to do it that much. I mean, look,

a billion dollars when, when billions started flying off the shelves with fast and furious and Jurassic World and Star Wars, that was rare. Yeah. And the fact that finding Nemo is almost did that. And that was when movie tickets for half the price.

So that's the thing. I don't think Cars did. I don't think Ratatoui did, but Wally and Up, I would venture a guess probably also almost pushed a billion. Let's see. So right now, so, so Monster, Finding Nemo is the champion. Tickets were $603 when Finding Nemo was released. $6.

So let's see. First cars is close. No chance. Half a billion. No chance. Yeah. I bet you, 461. Yeah.

So they didn't do very wet because cars still like it, but it was not. It's not regarded. It's the same pedigree. But I don't think Radatooie did either. I could be wrong because it's one of the few Pixar films I haven't seen that. I missed Radatatoller. Tui in theaters. No way I spelled that right.

That's what I'm doing. That's what I'm doing. That's what I'm doing. I would say, come on. Put in an email addresses at this point. Man V, bro. Command V. It's like my dad doing Skype.

What button? Wait, you see bug spray? Why do you see bug spray? At Rat Tatooey 623. Wow, it did better than Incredibles. Yeah, it did. So Rat Tatooey. And so right now, Wally and up, but those are the last two I'm just curious about.

All right. So that was, where's Rattatatoo? Wally. So I don't think Wally did that good. I remember Wally just getting so much love. Yeah, but I bet you did about 400. I was to get. I'm going to 5.25.

Okay. Still, but this still. It's still amazing. This is still in the 2000s, the early 2000s. Pixar is running shop at this point. And the reason I'm going to keep going up is I want to see 735 for up. That's what I was saying. I remember how, because I was in Japan when that came out,

and I remember people like, you haven't seen Up Dog? It is incredible. So Toy Story Theater then. Toy Story 3 becomes the first Pixar movie to hit a billion. Yeah. So I bet you Cars 2 starts to start a little bit of a decline. Wait, it's the beginning. I thought you just said that Finding Nemo or...

925 for 9. Oh, so to actually hit a billion. Actually hit a billion. The first one that actually hit a billion. Cars 2. I don't imagine. I mean, that's still a lot of money. It's still a lot.

Almost 600 million. Dude, they don't have they had a miss? The only one that I think I think that's a good dinosaur was the only one. It was what I was going to say. How did brave do? I remember Brave not being loved by a lot of people, but I still think it did well. People saw it. That's another one I haven't seen.

5.30 is still half. I'm telling you. So I'm curious, did the good dinosaur break half a billion? Because that would be insane. Just comparatively low, but it's still like. Yeah. There you go. So Monsters University.

This one did pretty well. 743. I mean, these movies are like gold. And then inside out, I know inside out probably, I bet you gets close to a billion. I think it's out cleared. I think it cleared.

I'm going to go eight. Eight plus. Wow. So this is, I'm getting it. I'm getting the road. What I want people to start doing if you listen to, you watch to start kind of guessing as we get to.

Yeah, guess with us. I'm going to say, I'm going to say, 285. I got to feel like the good dinosaur pulled like three, four. I'll give it four. I think you got as high as four.

on 350. And it is 332. Nice. I almost said three. I was like, nah, no, I'm going to say four.

Yeah. But that's a low. That's the first bomb. But it's not even a bomb. Still made his money back. That's their lowest. What was the budget on it? Good dinosaur budget.

Let's see. Good dinosaur budget. Because because they were putting out 200 for those last toys. 200 million. So that's that. So wait about broke even with marketing. It's not. It's not.

It's not. It's not. With marketing. , they like broke even. Yeah. That's a lot of money for that movie. Well, because it was in development health for so long. Like that movie got reworked and retooled and a lot of artists.

And also remember that it came out the same years inside out. Yeah, that's when they started cranking out two movies a year. That was the first one inside out and good dinosaurs. Finding Dory as we go through. Billion. Billion. Well, it couldn't be a billion two. It would be on that all-time list.

Nine something. Oh, sorry. Billion clean. One point out. That makes sense. So this is when they start to, because now, now remember, we're in the, we're in the sequels. Well, we're in the era where movies are making this time of money. I can't believe they just put Soul, Luca, and Turning Red all streaming after the run they've had.

Well, it's just crazy. Part of this pandemic. Yeah, that's that's not as, I don't think if it's today, I don't think that happens. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember how bad people did not like this. And I think that that's the same thing. I think they may have broken even on that because now we should get into new ones. Now I bet you Coco does 600 mil.

Coco, I think, did, I'm going to go seven, seven. 50. 8. We're all along. I was close to. Same thing. All right. So now the,

oh, you know, they do have a bomb, by the way. They do have a bomb, but it's, I bet you on where was. But it was streaming,

if you remember. Yeah, but it was not supposed to be streaming. It wasn't, but they moved it to streaming, but not because of, they made a decision. They were trying to Disney Plus.

It was literally because. Whoa. It made 141, but that's because of pain. That's COVID. Yeah, that's 100%. Yeah. 100%.

141. 141 is their, lowest, but that's also because of, that was the last movie I saw. I took my daughter to the premiere of that. Yeah. And like, I think two weeks later, the world shut down. So they, they, they, that's not, that's not fair to judge them on. No, not at all. Yeah. Soul, sold, then, does still even come out in the theater? No. No. Because that's my, that's my favorite. That kind of, that pissed a lot of people off, too. Other than the fact that it was a really good movie, they're like, this is the first time that you've got like a black main character for the thing. And people are like,

come on, man. You got, you got, you got Jamie Fox TV. DeVee. The problem is that that movie didn't come out in December of 2021. It came out in December 2020. It was prime COVID times. That's my favorite Pixar film. I totally understand that, but that was around the time. That was pre-vaccine. But around the time that stuff started opening back up.

So I understand you don't run that risk because you're like, we still don't really. Yeah. Start putting marketing into that and spending you're going to lose. You're just going to lose a lot of money on that. I think what people would have wanted, though, is the same thing that was happening with a lot of other movies. But I get it. You need the content because that was around. the time, if you remember December 2020, Wonder Woman 84 comes out.

Right. Soul comes out. They're like, yo, it's the time. We got to do it. Yeah, and you need to get it out there. They didn't know what the hell. Nobody knew what they were doing. I hope they re-release it in like five years.

I want to see it in theaters. That's my favorite all-time Pixar movie. Solus. Yeah. Wow. So for me it's Soul and then Toy Story. So like rewatching Toy Story was special. Yeah.

But like Soul was the first movie DeThrown 95's Toy Story. Wow. Just because like it's about like the creative endeavor of how we experience life. And I feel like that toy story. Toy Story 1 is about what it means to be creative in its own way. And then Soul was like the adult version of that for me. It was about the active creativity. And I also love the message of like,

toy story is about what it means to embrace growing up. And Soul kind of mirrors that in letting go and you can't always succeed. Like they're kind of like parallel each other to me in my experience at Pixar. Like they're kind of bookends through the whole thing. So when I look back at my childhood, I think of Toy Story and wanting to be someone that can imagine these things and my toys being alive. And then soul is about like the inner struggle of living. through that and not always working out.

Yeah, well, Toy Story is definitely like the gateway to all of it. Because of what they were able to do and how they were able to kind of play this out and the dynamic that they all had in the group. And they were also able to take toys. And the other thing that we don't really talk about as much anymore, because this is 95 and you can't relate to it as much. But like Mr. Potato Head and the slinky and all these things, the branding of it is massive because we all had toys like this.

And what it also did. The barrel of monkey jokes still funny. It was. And the Army, the Army men? Bro, the Armymen, we don't leave anybody behind. Yeah, yeah. More monkeys, the barrels empty. Yeah.

And all of that, though, because in 95, a lot of those toys were only like 10, 12, 20 years removed. Right. Now, my daughter doesn't know what the hell a lot of this stuff is. However, but because of this movie, Mr. Potato had saw a surge in sales, you know, like the Slinky saw a surge in Slinky dogs and things like that. So it was also a good way to remark it stuff. It was smart of Disney to, or Pixar and Disney, to make sure that they create some original characters to pair with that said branding. Because then they also were able to probably make those deals with Mr. Potato Head.

Sure. Get the Toy Story official Mr. Potato Head. Get the Slink Dog official. And I know I want all that. And having Ernest is the voice of Slinky Dog, I was obsessed with both Ernest and the slinky dog. So, like, I had that toy. I remember I had like three different Slinky Dogs because I wanted the most authentic to Toy Story. And then the official one came out.

It was so expensive. How baller is ILM though in, like, Lucas from? Like, they sold this. Yeah. They had this technology. They sold that to, like, Steve Jobs. I remember waiting outside of KB Toys to buy these toys. I remember, like, being at the mall.

I heard of course. I heard of course. I heard of course. But, like, you wait. They have those toy releases. Like, they don't, I don't think that exists anymore, except for, like, sneakers. Like, I don't think you wait outside of stores as, like, kids don't have

sneaker releases. Sneakers and, I really even movie releases. People don't really do the midnight movie release thing anymore. For eggs. Playstations. Yeah, PlayStation's. Like a buddy of mine insisted, he was like, I gotta be up at 6 a.m. tomorrow.

I was like, for what? He goes, there's like three PlayStation Drop. There's three PS-Fives. And I was like, are you kidding me? The Harry Potter books. You are 34, sir. I think the Harry Potter books are the last books. And I think that like toy drops were our childhood.

And now it's like tech. Like iPhones, that's, that's not even a thing anymore. Like it was, it was. The midnight drop thing really is over with the exception of shoes and game consoles. An eggs. Well, I guess. Can I tell you that the first time? I moved right through it.

No, you were so in your thoughts that you were like, and eggs. I was like, I was trying to interrupt you again, but I'm like, he just like just kind of like, yeah, and eggs, you're right. You're right. I love it. And the second time, I'm like, can I get him again? And I'm like, organic free range and that X. No, not this time. Get some of that.

Because I heard. You know what my brain did? It hurt it the first time. It was like, yeah, good point, Christian. The second time I was like, wait a minute, Mitch. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. He just lied to me. That's incorrect.

I put the padlock on the moral combat box. That's what just happened, bro. Anyway, look, fun discussion about this. I didn't know what you know exactly weird because you guys have heard. I mean, people talking about Toy Story. You can go, you can dive deep about how influential it was clearly. I like the fact that we went to the box office, the gate that it kind of opened for the other.

the business that it built inside of, and reshaped animation. I tweeted yesterday, I love that Woody and Buzz have the Top Gun Maverick and Iceman relationship. Totally. I love that like we as kids got exposed to that like one of them's the hot shot.

One of them's figuring his stuff out. They become reluctant friends. You had told me that Toys, that Top Gun was the live action toys. I would have watched that so long ago. Is it not? Is it not? Iceman Maverick. Woody and Buzz.

It really is. It is. And they have to form together. And I love the relationship. that they ultimately form. Just like what they could have, what they could have happened, what they could have fallen into, which I'm glad they didn't, is the consistent rivalry between the two of them.

The rivalry only really exists in this movie. They have competitions. Sure, but it's friendly. But it's friendly. Like, they're buddies ever because they've been on an adventure together and like they're not, they're not trying, like, because Woody's a straight up a hole to him. I mean, he knocks the guy out the window.

tries to, like, a lot of different times. And Buzz is just trying to do the right thing. Buzz is not a bad guy. He's just kind of, he's just ignorant. to the world and Woody's, Woody's just trying to protect his spot. But I, a thousand percent, but I remember as a kid, like, even though I loved Buzz Lightyear, I felt so bad for Woody because they do a great job with that montage where everyone is obsessed.

And we got to talk about Randy Newman. And Randy Newman. And Randy Newman. The scores of it all. It's the music. I mean, even that friend like me, you got a friend in me. And you just seem like, because Randy Newman is a very eccentric kind of fun dude to watch play music. I don't know if we were watched.

Not live, no. Well, I've never seen him play live, but I mean, I've watched him play live on, like, YouTube and stuff too. He's got that Danny Elfman, Gork. Well, my favorite, my favorite thing about my favorite song he's ever, is for Major League is, because that's like one of my favorite movies of all time. Yeah. He does that song to open it up, but he's,

there's just something about him, and he puts like that emotion into it, and he plays into it, and you can't hear that song and not instantly be transported into Toy Story the second you hear it in the way that it sets it up, Andy and Woody's relationship up top. Like, oh, this is the great toy. And this is, they're, like, they're really buddies.

And this kid might be a lunatic because he doesn't have many friends. He talks to this Woody doll. But then it turns into, you know, this new toy. Yeah. And with the, you know, in with the new. And I got to give them a lot of props, too, of really taking a look at the world at the time. So if you remember, Power Rangers, right. Ninja Turtles, you know, Star Wars is having its own kind of little baby.

resurgence because like you're only a couple years removed from Phantom Menace. Like you've got all of that kind of cooking at the same time. So to bring in this space toy where obviously Cowboys was the bigger thing back in the day with Westerns and all that and now the space toys and the futuristic and even the commercial. That might be my favorite part of the movie is the commercial. He's like, we karate chop action. But the kid has to take that. That was our whole childhood.

The kid takes the thing go, box over the box over the kids. I don't know if my hat deserves that. I watch Christian as I pick up that hat. I go, what's gonna do? What's gonna do with that? And I almost hit it this way. I said, I'm gonna hit Christian in the face. Don't do it, don't do it.

And eggs. I'm gonna hit the camera. And eggs. I gotta go straight up, bro. But it's like, I don't know. Wait, wait, wait. For your hat? That's what are you, Drake?

I don't even how to get you back. Oh, that's it. Winston on the show anymore. Wow. That said, I do think there's a good amount of positive and nostalgia in the timing of light year. Like, we're all adults now and we're going to see the other side of the story. But it was really special to watch this because it reminded me a lot of like what was happening in the 90s.

Like the 95 flavor of it, even though the movie's pure escapeism, there's no like pop culture references. But it reminded me of like what I was doing at seven years old. Like KB Toids, which I haven't thought about releases and like the things we waited for. Like Christmas morning having a Woody doll was a life thing. No, no, for sure, man. The funny thing is I don't think I had Woody. I definitely had Buzz. And I wore my Buzz out, bro.

Yeah. Like phrasing, Jesus. But like that little Bud Buzz, like you're to the rescue. To the Disney Channel stores. Disney Channel stories that actually looked like the scenes from this movie where they're just stacks and stacks of toys. And then in the second one,

when you see the wall of toys, like how to toys are rust. Like art imitating life was really interesting at these movies. Bro, the only thing funnier, I think, is the fact that you get, you keep getting to the fact that since Buzz is such a futuristic toy, there's more tech in it, there's like computer chips and stuff.

We're going to start to get. get, obviously you get the one buzz that they think is their buzz, but it's actually a store one. And he's like, my dad is like, that was great. Well, he needs to figure it all out again. We'll get into. I can't, like, I haven't seen the second one in years. I'd seen the first one again. It's probably my favorite. Yeah. I love, I think it goes two, three one for me. And I love one a lot. Wow. But I think just how deep it goes. And because of all of the characters buzz is my favorite. Yeah. You get so much more. There's more emotion. I think there's most emotion in three. But there's more, but there's a lot of motion in two. I recently, I have seen. I have seen. too recently because I told you my four-year-old watched them all.

Yeah. Although I missed it when she watched four. So I probably, I'm looking forward to watch a four again. I got to, I didn't get a chance to watch the first one with her, but I'm going to tell her that I got to watch it for work, and hopefully she watches it with me.

But yeah, I think there's a lot of emotion, all of them, and you see it's one of those movies. Normally, I think that if you polled most people who love these movies, I think that you could find that any one of them would potentially either say one, two or three was their favorite. I don't think you ever going to hear anybody say four. I mean, maybe I'm wrong.

I think there's a lot of attachment. Like, whether or not the movies, the quality isn't part of that conversation. No, I like four a lot. Four is really good. I just think that it's out of the three movies. I forgot to rank it. That's what just happened.

You're not wrong. Yeah. So two, three, one does not have four. No, I know, I know. But that'll be fun at the end of this is like when we do our ranking, it'll be five now because of light, you're in there. It is. And for, comparing to what the first one does, it's just,

the first one just has so much magic involved in it. Yeah. And it's such a one of one. Yeah. And it's one of the, it is probably one of the better origin stories that we've seen in this whole rewatch series, to be honest with you. Just because you nail who these characters are so quickly. Yeah. And you get so attached, but you're still learning more. Like, it just, it really sets the tone for the rest of this.

And it also, like, has such great archetypal characters that they can dive into Bo Peep's. Like, there's characters set up that are like, I'd like to know more about Blank. And, like, I love Rex. and Rex has like five minutes of screen time, but he was a T-Rex. That was enough for them. Right, right. I love really also kind of has like the,

because I just picked it up this time. There's like a little bit of like the nervous, like Jewish guilt and Rex the whole time. Trying to like how to not be scary but to be scary. Yeah. Oh, dude, it's so great. Absolutely love it. It's true.

All right. Listen, this was our first episode of the Toy Story rewatch. And we have, we have more. We have more coming out. And we're going to be, as Koi said, we're going to be doing a few more. Hey, don't take pictures of me. We're going to have a few more

I think we're going to do two One on the Tuesday One on a Friday So we can make sure we lean into it We're going to have Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3 Now the question is if we do two next week And then three and four The following week is probably what we'll do

And then we go and we see light year And then like review it Because this speaking into the future is Friday This is yeah And so then Next week We do Friday The following Tuesday

Friday And then the light year on Monday. Yes. Got it. Yes. So it'll be Friday is the second one. And then Tuesday is Toy Story 3. Yeah.

And then the following Friday is Toy Story 4. And I think what we're on... Monday, light year. Yeah, and I think what we wind up doing with Light Year is for the episode is that I don't know if we'll do a full on spoiler discussion about it. That's what we do to follow up with these. But I don't know if that full episode will just be. It'll be kind of similar to, I think, what we did on Sith Council yesterday. We did like a full Obi-Won.

But then Mike and I talked about... about other stuff that was happening with celebration. So we can do like a kind of big thing episode where we'll do a spoiler, kind of heavy review on Light Year that following Monday, but then we'll talk about a few other things that are going on in the geek sphere. Cool.

Okay, so before we get in, before we move on, I want to let you know again, look, see, everybody's almost in it. But next Friday, next Friday. Oh, the cask gets bigger. I just didn't want to rub it in even more because you had the three aliens. I know. I wish I knew.

Okay, so I wish I knew, show some class, and subscribe to the podcast. Do you like that? Listen to the big thing on the go. Go to Spotify, Apple Podcasts. And the other thing that I will also put in there is the big thing. That shirt is also available on the store. All these things are on the store. You can go to the link in the description for the big thing shirt.

You can go to all these things. We're excited to put them all on the store. And hopefully you guys, next time we see it, whether it's Star of Celebration or when you see Coy at ComicCon. Are you going to do Comic Con? No. I'm not going to do. No. It's my first one.

Yeah, really? Wow. Yeah, this is the first one I, I mean, not including, you know, the Thanksgiving last year. I did that one too. Wow. I was a special edition. So this will be the first one I haven't covered since like 2012. Wow.

Yeah, celebration was the one I was covering this year. But I, because you know why? The main reason is that Sarva celebration, for example, Asoka, the Mandalorian stuff, few other things, panels were information were exclusives that only Star Wars Celebration got. Comic Con did away with that. Everything that comes out, the big stuff that's going to come out

it'll be released and I can just be home and react to it and do reviews and stuff on it there because the reason I was going to Comic Con a lot was for like the parties afterwards and everything too and those are still be going on but I, for networking and those things, I just don't need to do it this year.

But I think it's going to be a lot of fun for a lot of people that do for sure. It's where I book most my guests for the year. Yeah, that's what it's for. But that's your, that's your, that's my corner. Yeah. And I got to say, like, and I've been saying in publicly celebration, I'm back to loving Star Wars.

Like, I've this, like, celebration experience, like, I publicly want to be involved in the Star Wars fandom. You stay off Twitter. That's what I mean? I literally tweeted that. I was like, I was so happy for two days. And then I got on Twitter. And I'm like, you know what?

I'm just going to talk to Star Wars fans in person. I'm bummed that didn't go, but I'm also, I have two major trips coming. And there's a lot of people that were saying, you know, that now that they're come home that they caught the bug and I was just like I took three tests or two tests and then then one more so yeah it took three yeah all right listen to me this is it we're done so thank you to Winston thank you to coy and thank you to you guys for joining us on this show this is the rewatch series it's the three idiots we'll see you next time
