Spoiler warning: this episode goes deep into every plot point, twist, and ending of Toy Story 5.

Retro Spectacles closes out the Toy Story franchise deep dive with a full spoiler review of Toy Story 5. After weeks of deepening skepticism across six movies, both hosts walked in expecting to be underwhelmed. Pixar pulled it off again.

Jessie takes center stage in the franchise’s most parent-oriented installment, tackling screens vs. toys, cyberbullying, and what happens when a weird kid finds another weird kid. Joan Cusack delivers one of the best voice performances of the franchise, Greta Lee’s Lily Pad continues the Pixar tradition of warm-voiced not-quite-villains, and Conan O’Brien’s Smarty Pants single-handedly earned the franchise’s first PG rating with a poop joke bonanza.

Mitcz and Teddy dig into all that, plus whether Woody even needs to be in this movie, Buzz’s unfortunate devolution into a lovesick bumbler, the criminal absence of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” the Bonnie trilogy confirmation, and more. Plus, Teddy and Mitcz reveal their final rankings for all films in the franchise.
