Toy Story 2 (1999) (with Valerie Keaton)

1999 was a legendary, leeeggggendary year for cinema. And animation is cinema, no matter what those film snobs tell you! Please, please for the love of god accept that animation is cinema so that Guillermo del Toro can take a break. 

The subject this week is TOY STORY 2, what some consider one of the greatest sequels of all time. Is it true? Does it hold up? Is it on the same level as the original? We're joined by special guest/friend of the pod Valerie Keaton to help us find out. 

We also talk Tim Heidecker, HARD TRUTHS, Doug Benson, and so much more.
