This week, I'm taking you with me to Pixar and into the very real mom guilt spiral that hit when one of my girls got invited into a special experience and the others didn't. What started as a magical Disney/Pixar day turned into a bigger parenting reframe about fairness, sibling comparison, and why equal does not always mean the same. This is me learning out loud about intentional parenting, shared joy, and remembering that our tiny humans do not all need identical things to feel loved.00:00 Siri Thinks It's a Medical Emergency00:39 Welcome Back and Pixar Joy01:12 Walking Onto the Pixar Campus02:18 Meeting Kind People in Real Life03:14 A New Season of Motherhood04:13 Three Girls, Three Different Humans05:21 One Person's Encouragement Isn't Your Discouragement06:20 The Pixar Tour Invitation07:33 The Immediate Pang of Mom Guilt09:02 Equal Doesn't Always Mean the Same10:33 Sometimes It's About Intentional11:41 The Pixar Pool and Shared Joy13:03 Different Kids, Different Needs13:41 The Myth of Balance16:24 Intentional Time Changes Everything17:11 Celebrating Someone Else's Turn19:39 Life Isn't Measured in Sameness21:39 Giving People What They Need23:32 Moving Out of Guilt and Into Intentionality25:19 Shared Joy Is the Gift25:50 You Are Doing Your Best
Put on your pod-day clothes, there's lots of world out there!

Join us for a long-ranging conversation that includes context around Disney's 2006 acquisition of Pixar, discussion about the film's depiction of humans, and speculation about the mental health of robots.

With Toy Story 5 introducing a new villain, Movie Mike explores a surprising Pixar pattern: many of the studio's greatest heroes and villains started with the exact same emotional wounds. From Jessie and Lotso to Buzz Lightyear and Syndrome, he breaks down how Pixar proves that it's not what happens to you that defines you…it's how you choose to respond! In the Movie Review, Mike gives his thoughts on Toy Story 5 starring Tom Hanks and Tim Allen. Woody, Buzz, Jessie and the crew find themselves going up against a new tablet named Lilypad, who thinks she knows what's best for Bonnie, setting up a battle where Toys vs. Tech. Mike shares how they tricked us into watching a remake, if it’s worth paying money to see in theaters and where he thinks it ranks in the franchise. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about The Social Reckoning, a companion piece to The Social Network which came out in 2010. It focuses on the fallout of the 2021 Facebook leaks, following whistleblower Frances Haugen and Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz as they expose the company's internal secrets. Mike wants to know if it’s too late for this movie and why Jesse Eisenberg turned it down. New Episodes Every Monday!

Is Toy Story 5 an inspired reorienting of the venerable Pixar franchise, or a tired rehash? Adam and Josh offer differing takes. Plus, Adam reviews Michael Sarnoski's bleak but intriguing The Death of Robin Hood, Josh recommends Mark Jenkin’s Rose of Nevada, an avant-garde ghost story set in a UK fishing village, and an "evil genius" ‘90s blockbuster poll question.

This week's Empire Podcast might see Chris Hewitt and Helen O'Hara write their own ticket, folks, as they come up with an idea for Toy Story 6 that should, if there's any justice, be in production by the end of the weekend. Pixar, call us! That comes in the movie news section, where there is also much discussion of trailers and the prospect of a new Jim Carrey Grinch sequel. Either side of those, the gang — Chris, Helen, Amon Warmann, James Dyer, and this week's workie, Juliet Duff, who pops in for a cameo from time to time — talk about the most hellishly hot places in movies, review Supergirl, Jackass: Best And Last, A Private Life, and 500 Miles, and Chris has a lovely natter with Jackass supremos, Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine, about saying goodbye to the franchise, poop, and catheters. Enjoy!

This week on I Want That Too, Jim Hill and Lauren Hersey look at how Toy Story 5 is already reshaping the summer box office, the Disney collector market, and the fast-food promotional landscape. Lauren digs into Lorcana's sudden surge, Disney Springs' new merch-drop rules, and the growing trading-card gold rush around Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Magic: The Gathering. Then Jim and Lauren unpack Disney Store's AI shopping experiment, the new Hakuna Matata Lion King Broadway collection, Cinderella Castle snow globe nostalgia, and why Disney picked Papa John's, Wendy's, Subway, and McDonald's for this summer's movie tie-ins. NEWS • Toy Story 5 opens huge at the box office, with Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and Smarty Pants helping Disney dominate the summer conversation. • Disney Lorcana enters a new collector frenzy as older cards become harder to find and Pixar characters arrive in the Wild's Unknown set. • Disney Springs introduces new merch-drop procedures, including later garage openings, wristbands, and designated waiting areas. • Topps Chrome Disney and Marvel's Magic: The Gathering collaboration show how Disney is leaning deeper into trading cards and tabletop fandom. • Disney Store begins testing a generative AI shopping assistant designed to recommend gifts and products through natural-language prompts. FEATURE • Jim explains why Disney chose Papa John's for Toy Story 5, turning Pizza Planet into a real-world promotional hook. • Wendy's answers with a Minions and Monsters drive-thru activation that reportedly drew massive crowds in California. • Subway gets in early with a live-action Moana meal, collectible cups, and a Fandango ticket-code incentive. • McDonald's remains in Disney's promotional orbit, with Hexed positioned for a Thanksgiving push tied to Happy Meal visibility.

Disney Springs transportation changes have the Disney community split, and Lauren and Eric dig into why this resort bus and water taxi policy is about more than just closing a parking hack. They look at how resort amenities, beignets, pools, and fireworks viewing have all become part of the broader “who gets access?” debate. Then they shift to Pixar, Toy Story 5, online movie rankings, and the surprisingly passionate arguments over WALL-E, Monsters Inc., Onward, Lightyear, and Cars 2. HIGHLIGHTS Disney Springs transportation restrictions begin June 28, limiting resort buses and water taxis to Disney Resort Hotel guests and guests with qualifying reservations. Lauren and Eric discuss why some fans see the change as a reasonable fix, while others see it as limiting access to the wider Walt Disney World bubble. The conversation expands to resort hopping, Port Orleans beignets, pool access, and how influencer-shared “hacks” can change guest behavior. Eric and Lauren consider whether these changes will actually reduce crowding or simply create new workarounds for determined guests. Toy Story 5 sparks a bigger conversation about Pixar rankings and which films fans defend the hardest. Lauren and Eric compare internet favorites like WALL-E, Ratatouille, Coco, The Incredibles, and Toy Story 2 with their own family's picks. Monsters Inc., Onward, Toy Story 4, Lightyear, Cars 2, and The Good Dinosaur all get pulled into the debate over Pixar's best and worst. For this episode's full show notes, click here.

Left To Her Own Devices Woody (Tom Hanks) and Jessie (Joan Cusack) worry that screens have replaced childhood make-believe once 8-year-old Bonnie receives her first tablet in Toy Story 5. Can the cowgirl doll help her kid make friends the old-fashioned way after Lilly Pad (Greta Lily) connects her to mean girls online? And will deputized spaceman Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) keep the peace in the playroom once infinite upgrades of himself fly in from a spilled shipping container? Listen Now to learn if this Pixar sequel (or just Conan O'Brien) takes a dump on the beloved franchise.
The Gabfest's end is nigh but we've still got a few bits of culture to gab upon. This week, Steve and Dana are joined by longtime Gabfest star pinch hitter Dan Kois. First up for consideration: Pixar's Toy Story 5. In this fifth installment of the computer animation studio's flagship franchise, the threat to the vital bond between toy and child are computers themselves. Will Pixar, of all entities, save us from the threat of screentime? Maybe not. Is it nice to be back with Woody, Buzz, Jesse and the gang of plushies, dolls, and various transitional objects? Maybe so.Next, the panel drops into the indie comedy ecosystem of the streaming service Dropout TV and talks about its chaotic cult hit game show Game Changer, now in its eighth season. Does the goofy hijinks therein offer a framework for the future of TV? They discuss. Finally, supreme, very special friend of the program (SVSFOP) Wesley Morris joins to talk about the New York Times' package on the six sentences that define America and his essay in it about Nina Simone's “Mississippi Goddam.”In our bonus episode, Wesley sticks around to theorize with Steve, Dana, and Julia about the point of even having podcasts about culture.EndorsementsDana: "What Steven Spielberg Taught Me About Fear, Catharsis, and Being Human" by Wesley Morris in The New York Times as well as, maybe for the first time ever for Dana in Gabfest history, a piece of technology: the MacBook Neo.Julia: The ongoing career—after composing the Gabfest theme—of the composer Nicholas Britell including his work for the NBA and particularly the composition "Agape" on the film score of If Beale Street Could Talk. Wesley: The potato salad recipe in Pearl Bailey's cookbook Pearl's Kitchen: An Extraordinary Cookbook.Dan: Writing fan mail to authors whose work you love. Also, the music of the recently departed South African jazz pianist Abdullah Ibrahim, particularly the album Mindif.Steve: The semi-fictionalized documentary about David Hockney A Bigger Splash and Philip French's review of it for BFI. Also, David Denby's 1990 New York Review of Books essay "The Real Thing" about the documentarian Frederick Wiseman. --Email us your thoughts at culturefest@slate.com.

Andrew Stanton was the second animator at Pixar, and he has been working there for 30 years. If you want to know how Pixar runs, this is your guy. He has directed movies like Finding Nemo and WALL-E, and he's the director of Toy Story 5. I had to ask him, "What have you done at Pixar to keep that quality bar so high? It's hit after hit, appealing to both kids and adults. How do you achieve this consistently?" That's what this episode is all about. About the host Hey!

Editor Sarah Affleck pulls back the curtain on one of filmmaking's most invisible—and essential—arts. From cutting reality television to shaping animated features at LAIKA and Pixar, Affleck traces her journey through the editing room while explaining why animation offers creative possibilities unlike any other medium.The conversation dives into her work on the acclaimed animated short Dear Upstairs Neighbors, exploring its painterly visual style, frantic creative energy, and the year-and-a-half process of transforming storyboards into a finished film. Along the way, Affleck discusses her love of Adobe Premiere, the unique relationship between editor and director, her unexpected stint editing The Brain That Wouldn't Die, and the challenge of finding the perfect comedic and emotional beats.She also reflects on the film's sold-out premiere at Tribeca, the painstaking craft behind every minute of animation, and her upcoming directorial project, Nurture. It's a fascinating look at storytelling from the perspective of the person who helps every film find its rhythm, voice, and soul.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth
Toy Story is back for the 5th time and the boys are ready for some playtime! Does the franchise continue high standards for the first Pixar legacy series or should it have been stored in the garage years ago?
Hello! Welcome back to the pod. TONIGHT, we're getting ready for our live karaoke show next week and we're FILLED with anxiety. What's that? Only one of us is? Everyone else is stoked and has none of that whatsoever? GOT IT. Pixar is back with Toy Story 5 and this time it's REALLY the end of the story, guys. Seriously. They're definitely not gonna make any more. Widow's Bay wrapped up a fantastic first season. George Lucas loves the Minions. Also Cody received a sobering and embarrassing reminder over the weekend that he's getting older.
Dr. Adam Dorsay hosts University of Virginia behavioral scientist and engineering/architecture professor Dr. Lediy Klotz to discuss Klotz's book In a Good Place on how spaces affect psychology and how people can thrive by making small, actionable changes. They explore habituation and the idea that subtracting (removing obstacles, noise, or clutter) can improve environments, including using available outdoor space differently (like eating outside). Klotz emphasizes agency as a core psychological need, citing a nursing home study where residents allowed to customize their rooms were 50% more likely to be alive 18 months later, and discusses regaining agency when it's constrained (e.g., sealed hotel windows). They examine space and dominance in negotiation and sports (goalkeepers, Emiliano Martínez), intentional design to foster interaction (Pixar), “space before screen,” and Klotz shares the loss of his daughter Josie and creating “Josie's Way” as a memorial space.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:28 Why Spaces Feel Good00:47 Meet Dr Lediy Klotz02:09 Arrive Early Hack03:16 The Research Behind It04:38 Five Years to Write05:56 Spaces Shape Psychology07:06 Small Tweaks Big Control09:04 Subtract to Improve Space10:04 Eat Outside Reframe12:08 Designing Outdoor Space12:56 Office Choices and Agency15:33 Defining Agency in Space16:55 Soccer and Agency Lessons18:31 Goalie Mindset and Space20:18 Owning the Penalty Area22:22 Agency Life or Death Study24:18 Mandela Garden Agency25:40 Churchill Shapes Commons26:49 Designing Serendipity30:01 Digital vs Real Space31:17 Space Before Screen32:41 Grief and Boundaries35:18 Josies Way Memorial38:50 Spirit Lives in Stories40:22 Josie Joke Punchline43:49 Miracle Skill Reaction46:25 Closing Thanks FarewellHelpful Links:Lediy Klotz, PhDLediy Klotz, PhD LinkedInIn a Good Place Book

Over the last eight years of Moonshots, we've explored the work of hundreds of authors, entrepreneurs, scientists, artists, educators, and innovators. We've studied creativity from every angle imaginable. We've looked at the habits of musicians, the methods of filmmakers, the thinking of scientists, the systems of entrepreneurs, and the practices of some of the most creative people who have ever lived.As we prepare to launch a new creativity series on Moonshots, beginning with Steven Kotler's *The Art of the Impossible*, I wanted to pause and reflect on what we've learned so far.What surprised me most wasn't how different these thinkers are. It was how often they arrived at the same conclusions.A legendary music producer, a bestselling novelist, the founder of Pixar, one of history's greatest physicists, an education visionary, and a pair of Stanford design professors all seem to be pointing toward the same set of principles.Creativity is not a gift possessed by a lucky few.It is a practice.It is a way of approaching problems, ideas, opportunities, and life itself.In this episode, I share eight creative practices that have had the biggest impact on my own work as a founder, advisor, podcaster, writer, speaker, software builder, and lifelong learner.The first lesson comes from Rick Rubin and *The Creative Act*. One of the most valuable ideas I've taken from Rick is the importance of showing up early and allowing ideas time to develop. Great work rarely appears on demand. Whenever I'm preparing a keynote, building a product, creating content, or solving a difficult client problem, I start earlier than I need to. I immerse myself in the work and then let it sit. I allow ideas to ferment. Some of my best work has emerged not from pushing harder, but from creating enough space for intuition and imagination to do their job.Elizabeth Gilbert's *Big Magic* offers another powerful reminder. Momentum is more important than perfection. I see perfectionism derail founders every week. They delay launches, delay decisions, delay customer conversations, and delay progress because they want everything to be perfect. The reality is that creative people create. They publish. They ship. They learn. Progress compounds. Perfection delays.Austin Kleon's *Show Your Work* reinforces this principle. Big achievements are usually the result of many small outputs shared consistently over time. Moonshots itself is a perfect example. The show didn't grow because of one viral episode. It grew because Mark and I showed up repeatedly for years. Small contributions, delivered consistently, eventually become meaningful bodies of work.Walt Disney reminds us to dream first and judge later. Too many ideas are destroyed before they have a chance to grow. Whether it's our own self-talk or feedback from others, premature judgement can suffocate creativity. Disney's genius was creating environments where imagination could run free before practicality entered the conversation. Creativity often requires us to suspend disbelief long enough to discover what might be possible.Ed Catmull, in *Creativity, Inc.*, extends this idea even further. He argues that unfinished ideas need safety. Great ideas rarely arrive fully formed. They emerge through discussion, experimentation, and collaboration. Teams that create psychological safety unlock more creativity because people feel comfortable sharing incomplete thoughts. Innovation depends on creating environments where ideas can evolve rather than be evaluated too early.Ken Robinson's work on *The Element* introduces one of my favourite questions. Rather than asking what your passion is, ask yourself what feels good. What activities energise you? What work absorbs your attention?
What does it actually mean to worship? Brian From makes the case from Romans 11 and 12 that worship is far bigger than singing or a Sunday gathering — it's offering your entire body and life as a living sacrifice, every day, in every decision. From there, a genuinely fun detour into Relevant Magazine's piece on the "gospel according to Pixar," tracing surprisingly biblical themes through Toy Story, The Incredibles, WALL-E, and Inside Out — including the case that real leadership looks less like a throne and more like a foot washing. Then Randy Alcorn tackles one of the hardest questions in the Christian life: why does God permit evil and suffering, and why do so many churches fail to prepare people for it before it hits? A viral story about a lawn-mowing YouTuber whose followers raised $685,000 for a grieving widow becomes a picture of internet generosity done right. A frustrating New York Times piece on rising "gray divorce" rates among couples married 25+ years gets a pointed response: marriages don't have to drift into apathy, but it takes ongoing work at every stage. Christian ministries are using the World Cup's massive audience as an unprecedented evangelism opportunity, prompting the question of what opportunities exist in your own life. And a closing reflection on play as a spiritual discipline — and why a Christian's inability to play might reveal a view of God that's too small.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Pestle: In-depth Movie Talk, No Fluff | Film Review | Spoilers
We play Pixar’s “Toy Story 5” and discuss: Story & Writing, thematic cohesion, subplots, play; and other such stuff and things and stuff. “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.“ – Mr. Rogers Notes […] The post Ep 372: “Toy Story 5” appeared first on The Pestle.
Jonathan and JP are back with another packed week of trailer verdicts, screen time nostalgia, and the kind of movie news that makes you question everything.First up, List It or Nix It — the guys put Hot Spot, Klara and the Sun, Shrek 5, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Dinosaurs of the Wild West, Hexed, and Time of Death through the Letterboxd test. Some earn a spot. Some don't make it out alive.Then it's What We've Been Watching. Jonathan's been in the jungle with Jumanji, getting morally complicated with Red Rocket, and going full '80s nostalgia with Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. JP went deep with 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and swung back to the high seas with Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.And then there's The News. Toy Story 5 just had one of the biggest animated opening weekends in history — is Pixar officially back? Disclosure Day stumbles in week two. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is already breaking presale records but has to compete with Nolan for premium screens. The week's wildest story: Luca Guadagnino's nearly-finished film about Sam Altman gets dropped by Amazon — right after their $50 billion OpenAI deal. Totally unrelated, we're sure. Plus: Supergirl early buzz, a new Keanu Reeves Lego movie, Dan Trachtenberg doing kids' horror (yes, really), Austin Powers 4 is happening, and Emmy nominations are officially locked in.
Toy Story 5 just hit theaters, so it seemed like a good time to revisit our episode from last summer where we discussed YOUR picks for the greatest Pixar films of all time.

I wrote “Visit Pixar Studios” in my goals for five years, and this year, that dream came true. In this episode, I'm sharing the story behind getting invited to Pixar for Toy Story 5, but really, this is about dreams, faith, motherhood, and learning to keep showing up even when not everyone understands what you're carrying. I talk about borrowing belief, fear that sounds like wisdom, safe friendships, and what I hope my tiny queens learn from watching me dream out loud. If your belief feels tired today, you can borrow mine.00:00 The Pixar Invite I Didn't Know Was Possible00:33 Welcome Back, Boo01:03 I Got Invited to Pixar02:15 Writing the Dream Down for Five Years03:17 Why This Is Bigger Than Pixar05:12 Dreams Have Fingerprints06:11 When People Don't Get Your Dream08:08 When Fear Sounds Like Wisdom12:11 Borrowing Belief16:07 Medicine Cabinet Reminders19:00 What I'm Teaching My Tiny Queens24:12 Maybe Belief Is the Better Gift
Should you take your kids to Toy Story 5, and what should you talk about afterward?In this biblical worldview movie review, Elizabeth Urbanowicz walks through Pixar's "toy meets tech" story, where 8-year-old Bonnie gets a tablet and slowly drifts from imaginative play, real friendship, and even the people right in front of her. It's a fun film with surprising depth, and it opens the door to real conversations with your children.In this episode:Why do humans long for friendship, and what does Genesis reveal about it?What makes in-person friendship different from online friendship?Why is imaginative play so good for children?How can technology isolate us, even from the people in the same room?Where do we see true love modeled in the film, and how does it echo the gospel?Plus two bonus questions about what the movie's wedding scene gets backward, and the beautiful symbolism behind a Christian wedding ceremony.Whether or not you choose to see the film, you'll walk away with seven biblically grounded questions to help your kids think critically and biblically about screens, friendship, and what they were made for.

Following backlash on Reddit for our lack of preparation last week, we have instituted a professional course correction for Part 2 of our Summer 2026 Movie Preview: we watched the trailers this time, and we've mapped them into a highly scientific rating system ranging from "Must See" to "Go to Hell."This week, we dive into the upcoming cinematic landscape to debate whether Hugh Jackman is being grizzled-hero typecasted in The Death of Robin Hood, why Nate Bargatzi's new family comedy The Breadwinner is an antiquated disaster, why Pixar never seems to whiff when it comes to Toy Story, as well as Hokum, The Furious, and Leviticus.Along the way, Tom breaks down Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day, Tim pitches himself as a professional safe-cracking piano tuner, and we take massive detours into the theology of whether God has a soul, a plan to fix a brand-new Billy Joel statue in Oyster Bay, and why Wall Street refuses to call it "cryptocurrency" anymore.For full-length weekly bonus episodes check out the TCGTE Patreon!Like the show?

Sean and Amanda open today's show with a long list of movie news headlines, including Luca Guadagnino's Sam Altman movie ‘Artificial' being dropped by Amazon following their OpenAI partnership, and Curry Barker inking a 10-figure deal with Universal and Blumhouse Atomic Monster for his next original project. Then, they cover a new release with Michael Sarnoski's ‘The Death of Robin Hood' starring Hugh Jackman. They highlight its impressively gnarly filmmaking, explain why its big flaw is in the concept of the film itself, and take a look at the history of ‘Robin Hood' movies and discuss what makes them successful. Next, they discuss ‘Toy Story 5', a film which Sean and Amanda had vastly different reactions to. After debating what did and didn't work for them, they rank every film from the ‘Toy Story' franchise.
