“Commonality of experience” brought people back to the cinema in droves to experience Riley’s expanding, pubescent world in Inside Out 2. There’s no one better nor happier to celebrate Pixar’s continued success than returning guest and friend of the pod, Ryan Lamb. He breaks down the film with Nick and Sophia as they all share their various opinions on how well this worked as a sequel, which emotion they connected with most, and what they look forward to in the next installment (hint: Riley goes to therapy). They also discuss its Oscar potential and debate which Disney film may have the upper hand come March 2025. Comment below with your thoughts on Inside Out 2!
