In this comprehensive movie review and reaction, Greg and Paige dive straight into the high-stakes adventure of Woody getting stolen from a yard sale by a greedy toy collector. We unpack the incredible voice work of the legendary main cast, featuring Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump, Cast Away) bringing timeless charm to the cowboy Sheriff Woody, Tim Allen (The Santa Clause, Home Improvement) as the iconic space ranger Buzz Lightyear, and Joan Cusack (Working Girl, In & Out) delivering massive emotional depth as the cowgirl Jessie. We also highlight the stellar supporting performances from Kelsey Grammer (Frasier, Cheers) as Stinky Pete the Prospector, Wayne Knight (Seinfeld, Jurassic Park) as the obsessive Al McWhiggin of Al's Toy Barn, and Don Rickles (Casino) as Mr. Potato Head. Our hosts react to all the brilliant themes of replacement and obsolescence, noting how the threat of being replaced by a shiny new toy hits differently as adults in a world facing shifts like artificial intelligence. We break down the epic, Star Wars-inspired Buzz Lightyear video game opening, the immense tension of the yard sale rescue mission, and the incredibly satisfying artistry of the old toy restorer perfectly repairing Woody's arm. Paige opens up about deeply relating to Jessie's fear of the dark and abandonment after being left in a storage box, diving into the pure heartbreak of Sarah McLachlan's classic "When She Loved Me" montage. We also discuss the legendary production trivia of how a mistyped command almost completely deleted the movie's files from the Pixar server, only to be saved by supervising technical director Galen Susman on maternity leave before the team completely remade the entire plot from scratch in just nine months. Stick around until the end as we break down our personal favorite childhood toys—including Tech Deck trick boarders, 25-cent sticky hands, and anti-gravity boots—alongside a fun side tangent on Paige's legendary "spaghetti pie" recipe and Greg's current preparation for an upcoming Spartan race!
