We’re officially into sequel territory.

This week we revisit Back to the Future Part II (1989), the hoverboard-fueled follow-up that promised flying cars and self-lacing shoes… then gave us Biff’s dystopian empire instead.

As kids, this felt like the coolest movie in the trilogy.

As adults, it feels a little more… complicated.

Did this sequel expand the story in brilliant ways?

Or did it pile on too much?

We talk about the 2015 future, the alternate 1985 twist, Marty’s “nobody calls me chicken” flaw, and whether this middle chapter actually holds together.

Plus: we open with a game called Future or Fake, testing which future predictions were actually in the movie.

Did Back to the Future Part II ruin your expectations of the future?

We’re back with another round of After the Credits — a bonus segment just for podcast listeners.

Jeff & Josue wrap up their Toy Story conversation with leftover thoughts, IMDb rabbit holes, voice-cast surprises, continuity quirks, and the kind of questions that only come up after the main episode ends.

From finally placing Andy’s mom’s voice (and realizing why it sounded so familiar), to early casting what-ifs for Buzz Lightyear, to the evolving voice of Slinky Dog… Plus timeline weirdness, toy durability concerns, Dinoco connections, and the age-old mystery of why the toys freeze when humans are around. 👀 This is a relaxed, slightly unhinged cooldown for anyone who isn’t quite ready to put their toys back in the toy chest yet.

🎬 This is a companion to Ep. 68: Toy Story (1995).

If you haven’t listened to the full episode yet, we highly recommend starting there first.

🎧 Listener Question:

What’s a tiny Toy Story detail or moment that has always stuck with you, even if you never fully questioned it until now?

We’re kicking off a brand-new trilogy with the movie that changed animation forever: Toy Story (1995). 🧸🚀

This week, Jeff & Josue revisit Pixar’s groundbreaking debut—not just to see if it still holds up, but to unpack why it worked so well in the first place. From talking toys and existential crises to jealousy, loyalty, and growing up, Toy Story turns a kid’s premise into a surprisingly thoughtful story about identity and belonging.

We talk childhood attachments to toys, why Woody’s jealousy feels painfully human, Buzz’s identity collapse, and how Pixar smartly played to its strengths in early CGI. Plus: a quote-based opening game, throwaway lines that hit harder as adults, and why this movie still feels like a movie, not just a cartoon.

❄️ Bonus: Due to a wild week of snow and ice, Jeff’s son Clark joins us on camera for this episode’s intro, making it one of our most special openings yet.
