Simple math would suggest that an out-of-control Jack Black, combined with spoiled know-it-all kids, and an added element of rock music, would equal a loud, patience-testing moviegoing experience.

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Mike back on the show as they discuss the 1986 comedy One Crazy Summer. In this spiritual sequal to Better Off Dead, Joan Cusack's little brother and Brian Doyle Murray's little brother meet up with Booger and Bobcat on Nantucket as they try to help Demi Moore win a house (was that what they were doing?) from Neidermeyer, who apparently survived all those Twister Sister videos long enough to play the bad guy here. The end of this movie is basically Summer Rental without the Candy. Enjoy the podcast!!Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1986 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing). Plus one-off specials and a weekly mini "what are we watching" podcast.#jezoo74 #aegonzo1 #danacapoferri #exciting_new
This summer's Toy Story 5 is unique among Toy Story movies in that it's a direct continuation of the story of Toy Story 2, so we decided it was a great time to take a second look at Toy Story 2! Originally conceived as a direct-to-video sequel, Toy Story 2 opened November 19, 1999, bringing in $487 million worldwide and going on to become the 3rd-highest grossing movie of the year. The film brought back Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Don Rickles, Jim Varney, Annie Potts, Laurie Metcalf, R. Lee Ermey, Estelle Harris, from the first film, adding Joan Cusack, Kelsey Grammer, Wayne Knight, and Ariel the Little Mermaid herself, Jodi Benson as Barbie, and this time Randy Newman brought in Sarah McLachlan to help craft the most famously devastating three minutes in the whole series.

Earlier this year, I had a blast revisiting five of my favorite Joan Cusack performances for RogerEbert.com's Women Writers Week celebration. My friend, the prolific MovieMom.com critic Nell Minow, who also writes and edits for Ebert's site, was my editor for the article, and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to bring her back to Watch With Jen to explore a handful of our favorite Cusack roles that I wasn't able to cover in the piece. Touching on almost her entire filmography in this briskly energetic conversation, we pay close attention to WORKING GIRL, TOY STORY 2 (& 5), SCHOOL OF ROCK, MY BLUE HEAVEN, ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES, and several others.Originally Posted on Patreon (7/8/26) here: https://www.patreon.com/FilmIntuition/posts/163253169Donate to the Pod via Ko-fi & PayPalShop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive

Hello, movie maniacs! This week Mary and David watched Andrew Stanton’s newest entry in the Toy Story franchise – Toy Story 5 – featuring the voice talents of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack and Great Lee. The Toy Story films one to three are obviously deathless classics and, while the fourth film took a dip in quality, can the newest instalment take the franchise to new heights or at least keep it aloft? With the introduction of tech in the form of Lilypad – a tablet for kids – to the franchise, David and Mary discuss some of the film’s themes: games vs. play, the effects of screen life on children and parents, and making room for the weirdoes. But in the world of Toy Story, toys are people too, and the film also includes themes of abandonment, the fear of replacement and the fear of becoming redundant in a world that has left you behind. Pretty heady stuff, but approached with the usual Pixar mix of sentiment and humour! Thanks for listening!
Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. On today's episode, Andy Atherton is reviewing “Toy Story 5” from 2026 starring Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Conan O'Brien & Greta Lee.
The toys are back in town... again! 31 years after Pixar released the first ever feature-length animated film, Toy Story returns with the 5th entry in the studios longest-running franchise. Critics said a fourth movie was a stretch, but audiences continue to show up. And Toy Story 5 is still breaking records!Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/veSVBQy8L3oSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/reelspoilers. Hosted on Acast.

Toy Story 5 is a 2026 American animated adventure comedy-drama film produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Andrew Stanton, who conceived the story and co-wrote the screenplay with Kenna Harris, it is the fifth main installment in Pixar's Toy Story film series and the sequel to Toy Story 4 (2019). The ensemble voice cast features Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack among those reprising their roles from the previous films, joined by Conan O'Brien, Scarlett Spears, Greta Lee, Shelby Rabara, Mykal-Michelle Harris, and Craig Robinson. Set two years after the events of the fourth film, Toy Story 5 follows Jessie (Cusack), Woody (Hanks), and Buzz Lightyear (Allen) as they and the other toys deal with the presence of Lilypad (Lee), a tablet and the new favorite plaything of Bonnie (Spears).While Hanks said in May 2019 that Toy Story 4 was the final film in the franchise, the possibility of a fifth film had not been ruled out. Development on a fifth film was confirmed in February 2023, with Hanks and Allen returning. Stanton was confirmed as the director in June 2024 and later as a writer. It is the first main film in the series with no involvement from co-creator John Lasseter, who left Pixar in late 2018. The franchise's composer, Randy Newman, returned to score the film, marking his tenth collaboration with Pixar, while Taylor Swift contributed the single "I Knew It, I Knew You" to the soundtrack. With a budget of $250 million, Toy Story 5 is one of the most expensive animated films ever made, and the most expensive film produced by Pixar.Toy Story 5 had its world premiere in Los Angeles on June 9, 2026, and was theatrically released in the United States on June 19. Like its predecessors, it received positive reviews from critics, who praised its visuals, voice performances, humor and themes, although some questioned its justification for existing. It has grossed $400 million worldwide, breaking several box office records and becoming Pixar's biggest worldwide opening weekend on record. It is currently the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2026.

You must chill, because we're dedicating ourselves to Cameron Crowe's 1989 teen romcom Say Anything. Do you have any desire to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career? Is the climactic boombox moment in this movie creepy and passive aggressive, or an expression of frustrated teenage rage? And why does John Cusack have the most oversharey and cringey fans? We'll have some answers for you once we touchdown in London.

This week on Damn You Hollywood, we're heading back to the toy box one more time with Toy Story 5. Directed by Pixar veteran Andrew Stanton, the latest installment reunites Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the gang for a new adventure centered around Bonnie's growing attachment to a tablet named Lilypad. Set two years after Toy Story 4, the film explores the increasingly familiar tension between traditional play and modern technology, asking what role toys have in a world dominated by screens.Returning voice cast members Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack are joined by newcomers Greta Lee, Conan O'Brien, Craig Robinson, Shelby Rabara, Scarlett Spears, and Mykal-Michelle Harris. With Randy Newman back to compose the score and Pixar once again bringing its trademark visual polish, Toy Story 5 arrives carrying the weight of one of animation's most beloved franchises.But after the seemingly definitive endings of both Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4, does this sequel justify its existence? Is there still something meaningful left to say about identity, purpose, childhood, and growing up? Or is this another example of Disney's increasingly aggressive reliance on familiar brands and established intellectual property? Join us as we discuss the latest chapter in Pixar's flagship franchise, its themes, its place within the larger series, and whether the toys still have one more story worth telling.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. This week with Toy Story 5 coming out on June 19th, we are going back to look at all of the previous movies in this great franchise. On today's episode, Steve Riddle is reviewing “Toy Story 3” from 2010 starring Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Ned Beatty & Michael Keaton.
Kevin Kline and an Oscar-nominated Joan Cusack have a gay old time in 1997's In & Out. Back then, the comedy was a modest hit with critics and audiences as it juggled social commentary and slapstick humor while tackling a (then) hot-topic theme: homosexuality (gasp!). But now, decades later, should we leave this Frank Oz flick in the closet? When are “gay jokes” funny? And should Kline's character consider pressing charges against Tom Selleck's entertainment reporter? The Old Roommates revisit all the Macho Man madness through their middle-aged lens. Pop on some Streisand and join them.Follow Old Roommates on social media @OldRoommates for bonus content and please give us a rating or review!#In&Out #FrankOz #KevinKline #JoanCusack #DebbieReynolds #MattDillon #TomSelleck

We think we've "cracked" the mysterious Susan Boyle #ad — could it be... [REDACTED]? Other mysteries we're facing: Why exactly the Cyrus sibs are renting apartments from each other... Why the Daily Mail keeps using "towering over" in their headlines... Why Dakota Johnson isn't selling her famous limes house to us... Why Joan Cusack walked the Toy Story 5 red carpet after 15 years (of not doing red carpets)... Why Suki Waterhouse made the cover of Variety... Why Marcia Cross posted a #rareselfie... Whether Tia Mowry's post is a hard or soft launch... The questions are endless! Don't worry! We'll solve them all.
