To Mediocrity and Beyond! Lightyear Review
Show Notes

What happens when you suck the fun out of one of the funniest characters in Pixar’s universe?

Well, you get Lightyear! Tune in today to hear why, despite the success of the Toy Story
franchise, Lightyear falls short. We hear about the themes and messages of the film, why
they’re obvious from the opening scenes, and why they are ‘done to death’ in comparison to
recent films like Turning Red. 

Hear about Michael’s main gripes with the film, what he would
have appreciated instead, and why, as a result, the emotional moments in the film totally fell flat for him. You’ll get to know what he thinks of Chris Evans’s performance, and why he thinks Tim Allen would have been a better fit. Find out about the best and worst characters in the film, and why, before Michael expands on why the film lacks the charm of the original Toy Story films.
