Join us as we discuss two movies about actors in a sort of weird place in their lives and careers, both of whom have some surprising but deeply meaningful encounters. We discuss 10 Items or Less and Rental Family, both of which we had a better time with than we expected!

Join us on a journey through (most of) the Toy Story universe. We discuss some of the truly existentially horrifying implications of parts of this world, how Woody is maybe actually a terrible father figure, and whether or not we had a favorite toy. But mostly we talk about how surprisingly enjoyable all of these movies are, in spite of there being 5 of them!
