Episode 109: What‘s up with the Lightyear trailer?

So they dropped a trailer for Lightyear, right? But like.... how does it fit in with Toy Story? Is it a movie from within the Toy Story movies? Is it all taking place within a child's imagination? Or was there a real, human man who existed within the Toy Story Universe named Buzz Lightyear who went to space and they made a bunch of toys about?
Join us as we travel beyond infinity in search of answers!

Episode 108: Or-Engine Stories: I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle

Folks, it is spook season once again! And this year, we found a movie that is pretty much what it says on the tin. Like, you're not supposed to judge things by their covers, but honestly, you can pretty effectively do that this time.
It's a doozy folks. Vulgar, gross, gory, and very British, so if any of those things sound like they aren't up your alley, maybe just listen to us describe this one instead of checking it out on your own. It is a pretty fun one though!

Episode 107: Cars 4: The Spinout

Alternate titles for this episode include: "SUVNL", "SNLUV", and "SNL is coming for our jobs".
Anyway, SNL did a sketch entitled "Cars 4" last week. And folks, they got the man himself to participate. That's right, with the inclusion of Owen Wilson, it is officially close enough to canonical that we can do a whole episode of our podcast about it. How do we manage to do an entire podcast about a 5 minute comedy sketch? Well, we have to go some places with it, folks. We only hope you're willing to follow us to them.
(Also sorry this is a day late, Future Lucas literally just forgot to edit and post the episode. Pobody's Nerfect!)

Episode 106: Car-vel‘s What If... Lightning Changed His Tires?

Oh, a new Marvel show? People are into it? It has an easily replicable formula that can be applied to other franchises? Interesting....
Anyway, uh, we have a new mini series! In this one, we put on our speculating hats, and take a look at the Carsverse if things had gone differently. For the first episode, we look at a seemingly simple question: What if Lightning's tires hadn't blown in the first race in Cars? You wouldn't think that this would result in an early death for McQueen and the decimation of Radiator Springs, but let me tell ya: We think it does.

Episode 105: We Finally Re-Watch Cars 2

We did it folks. We managed to put off watching Cars 2 for a second time for 100 episodes! To celebrate we decided to... watch Cars 2? Aw dang. We really messed this whole thing up.
That's right folks, the Ka-Chat boys are at it again, this time going over this movie with a fine toothed comb. Did Mater almost kill Luigi once? Do we feel any differently about the portrayal of the Lemons? And do Sally and Flo have some sort of... wheel fetish?

Episode 104: The Abandoned Space Spin-off

In 2017, it was announced that there would a new entry into the Carsverse, a spin-off about Space that would be coming out in 2019. However, when Disneytoon Studios shut it's doors for good, that project was cancelled. But what could it have been? 
We spend about half the episode talking about that. The other half is mostly about Star Wars. So.... Hope you enjoy that!

Episode 103: We Get Really Sad About Forklifts

I tried for a while to come up with a title pun, but this felt more appropriate with the general vibe of the episode, ya know?
Anyway, for Labor Day, we decided to do an episode centered around the working class in the Carverse, the forklifts, or as they call them, the Pitties. It, uh.... really bums us out, mostly. But hopefully us getting bummed out might entertain you! Or you can just join us in being bummed. Up to you, really.

Episode 102: Auto-Biographies: Sterling & Jackson Storm

They're the bad guys. (Duh)
Is Billie Eilish still hot with the teens? I guess there's no way to know for sure. Anyway, this week we are looking into the two antagonists of Cars 3 and trying to figure out what makes them tick. Is Sterling really a Lightning McQueen fan, or was it all an act? What is like to be specifically engineered for racing like Jackson Storm? And wouldn't you prefer to be a gamer than a pro racer?
