Griffin Newman returns to Eye of the Duck this week for Pixar’s LIGHTYEAR! And just to be clear, this isn’t a podcast about Buzz Lightyear, the toy.

Bonus!! This week we depart the Pixar studio to answer the question, What if Raytheon manufactured children’s toys? It’s Joe Dante’s SMALL SOLDIERS.

What is a good death when your God has abandoned you? TOY STORY 3 is courageous enough to explore such questions (insane!!) so we tried our best to contend with them here too on Week 3 of our miniseries. But do we have the courage to leave our beloved Andy behind? Listen to find out. Happy Holidays from Eye of the Duck.

TOYS!! And returning champion Stephen Hilger is back! Welcome to the premiere of our December/January miniseries, BEYOND INFINITY. The TOY STORY franchise may seem like a weird choice since we mostly do sci-fi / horror here at Eye of the Duck.

Bonus #3! It’s Dan O’Bannon’s gnarly punk rock black comedy, RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD. This week is one of those Siskel and Ebert episodes — we disagree so fundamentally about the meaning of O’Bannon’s film that it threatens to bring down the podcast entirely. Brains!
