Binge Media

By the mid 90s, Disney was in pretty good shape. They had a sort of resurgence with Alladin and Beauty and the Beast, and the studio seemed to have big plans in order to keep that resurgence in order. Little did people know they would turn the animation landscape upside down with Toy Story. But they didn't do it alone. With a Steve Jobs-George Lucas deal to sell the technology that would become computer animation, and an off shoot studio called Pixar putting in the blood sweat and tears, Disney really came with guns a'blazing. Almost twenty-five years and four films later, Pixar is still going strong. Join Matt, Law (who seems to be born to be on this retrospective), and myself as we do the first animated series in the Aftertaste's existence, and explore whether the Toy Story franchise and the movies contained in its realms is just as successful creatively as they were financially.

Normally I do a brief summation of the movie the show that's contained on this page reviews, but I am going to change that concept for this particular show to explain something. When putting this year of Aftertaste series together, I thought for sure that Toy Story was going to be one retrospective where we would avoid a high dose of arguments. And then I remembered, this is Binge Media I'm talking about. Come join in as Matt, Law, and myself delve into Toy Story 3, a movie that arrived 11 years following its predecessor, and the one that has caused said arguments.

By the mid 90s, Disney was in pretty good shape. They had a sort of resurgence with Alladin and Beauty and the Beast, and the studio seemed to have big plans in order to keep that resurgence in order. Little did people know they would turn the animation landscape upside down with Toy Story. But they didn't do it alone.

If there was ever an animated film whose production added up to a nightmare equal to that of this generation's Jaws, it would be Toy Story 2. Between lost files, babies being left in the cars of exhausted animators, and many last minute story changes, the 1999 sequel -originally intended to go straight to video- had all the makings of a disaster. But the movie was released around Thanksgiving in 1999 and proved to be a huge success, with some proclaiming it one of the best sequels of all time. Join myself, Matt, and Law, as we answer that proclamation, and see if there is another 10/10 like last week.

Law digs deep into his screwed up childhood to share one of the most meaningful films of his lifetime with Pete. Issues might arise as Pete's love for the remake come into play and they decide to watch the directors cut which adds half-an-hour to an already long film. Will it matter in the end? Will Pete look at his phone during his screening? Will Law get angry with Pete and yell at him relentlessly? All these answers and more inside The Docket!

Though Toy Story proved to be a massive success, it was not easy getting there. Undermanned and underfunded, nit to mention having toy companies like Mattel refusing to lend their commodities to the production, director John Lasseter and his crew had to jump through hoops just to get the movie done. Listen in as we dissect the movie and decide whether it still holds up all these years later, and if the labor of love known as Toy Story was worth all the man hours it took to make it.

Talk of David Fincher, classic film noir and the unique, seedy look at early Los Angeles come up, but at the end of the day, was Alyx glad to finally get this flick off his docket?
