Ep777: LIGHTYEAR (2022) - Round Table Review
Earth's Mightiest Critics venture into the great unknown with a look at Disney Pixar's Lightyear!

The gang blows the movie wide open, drilling down into everything from cultural issues, to the fundamentals of storytelling, to what the film's less-than-stellar opening weekend could mean for Disney Pixar movies going forward.
