Happy New Year and welcome back to Best Seat on 2026's Couch! Our first episode of the new year calls back to our 99th episode on Toy Story, as Lightyear takes the mythos of Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear character and creates a whole narrative and backstory to him that, apparently, in-universe inspires Andy to buy the Buzz Lightyear toy — fancy that. The film itself stars Chris Evans as a much more Captain America-esque Buzz Lightyear, plenty of time travel, legitimately gorgeous animation and cinematography, and one (two?) particularly funny cat robots, and yet perhaps the most question asked in this episode is: what are the actual implications of this film existing within the Toy Story universe? Join us as we discuss the nice little character moments Buzz has during his hero's journey, Marcus's favorite character and moment 1 hour into the episode, and the film's THREE mid-/after-credit scenes. Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.
