This week, we had no choice but to pull Toy Story off the shelf to see if it still blows our minds. (Spoiler: it does.) Listen to us breathlessly number all the reasons Toy Story deserves to be considered one of the best animated movies EVER. Also, some starry-eyed hope (and a teeny little bit of anxiety) about the 4th installment 24 years later.

Shownotes:

• You really should read the Wikipedia article on Toy Story. It’s super interesting.
• We’ll be covering Toy Story 4 this coming Friday.

• We’re live on Himalaya! If you missed last week’s BIG ANNOUNCEMENT, here are the main points:

  • You can find pretty much every podcast ever on the Himalaya app.
  • It’s also sort of like Patreon, but just for podcasts -- in other words, you can do a bunch of special stuff for “premium members” (aka, people who are willing to support the podcast with a couple bucks every month). We’re DEFINITELY going to do that, but we’ll fill you in on all the details later.
  • For now, if you have ANY interest in improving your podcast-listening experience, we super encourage you to try listening to Nerd Critic on Himalaya.
  • If you aren’t interested, no worries, Nerd Critic will always be available everywhere, for free.
  • Our weekly email newsletter is up and running like a champion. Get on it!
  • You can also join other Nerds & Critics in lively topical conversations every day on Facebook and Instagram.
