We're not playing around this week — went to infinity and beyond with our discussion on Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and Toy Story 3. Listen to us rank the trilogy (we don't agree on a single placement), talk about what they meant to us as children and college-bound high schoolers, and recount the pure joys of seeing Buzz and Woody take flight.

We'll be back in two weeks with an inexpensive sequel to a movie we did last year.

Zetus Lapetus! We're flashing back to 1999, turning on Disney Channel, and watching one of the most beloved DCOMs every released – Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century! It was a staple in AJ's childhood and only a "seen it once or twice" for Trevor. Tune in to see what we thought of this movie in modern times.

We'll be back in two weeks with a toy chest of analysis on one of the most popular kids movie series ever.

SIGN UP FOR OUR PATREON! You'll earn bonus episodes, exclusive content, and credit in our shows!

It's the TWENTIETH anniversary of Episode II – time flies faster than a speeder on Coruscant. Don't forget to revisit our discussion on Episode I on Apple or Spotify if you missed it last year.

This time around, we're joined by Max Straubinger to discuss the second Star Wars prequel. We get into a divisive discussion about whether or not this installment is boring and cringey or secretly a ton of fun. Spoiler alert: we all agreed this is definitively not the worst of the Skywalker Saga.

The first proper millennial kids' superhero movie, 2002's Spider-Man changed the game for blockbusters, action movies, and superhero films for the next two decades. We're tipping our hats to Maguire, Dunst, Raimi, and everyone else involved in this movie to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

Our first R-rated movie here on The Old Kids Movies, we're answering the age-old question: "How come nobody's ever tried to be a superhero?"

A movie that was hugely impactful for us as teenagers, it's a violent, profanity-filled romp that's certainly not for kids. That's why we waited to cover it this month. Enjoy!
