Her to haul around the world. It's do the right thing

Hello and welcome to unspooled. I'm a minute go son and I'm Paul Sheer and this is the podcast where each week we watch one film from the AFI

100 greatest films of all time list 2007 edition to see if they are really as good as people say do they hold up and how have they influence the films we watched now this week we're talking about the Spike Lee classic do the right thing we actually have a special guest Spike Lee on the show today before we get

a special guest Spike Lee on the show today that was the best news we could have ever gotten it's such a fun interview it cannot wait for you guys to hear it but before we get into do the right thing let's talk a little bit about Pixar last week you and I were talking about our favorite Pixar films and what could possibly be the one that we would put on the list I thought about it a lot I looked on a line a lot there's a lot of talk this week about Pixar films because Toy Story 4 just came out have you ever seen a lot of the movies that you're watching?

I can say it won't be Toy Story 4. Wow, really Amy I thought it was so good I did I want to learn existential angst from forky I thought there was something really beautiful about Toy Story 4 and it actually all comes back to this tweet that I saw written by monkey boy 1138 he writes and I'm assuming it's a he not sure if this is intended but the toy story is a lot of fun.

Not sure if this is intended but the Toy Story movies the first three anyways can be compared to the workplace all the characters talk and a workplace conversational tone with what he is the boss and with the arrival of buzz and new guys in the office and that guy very quickly rises to the ranks and new ideas and ways of working and then once we get Toy Story 2 what is being offered a new job and a new firm does he leave for a job that's less fun and interesting but pays better or does he stay loyal to his firm and then Toy Story 3 it's this corporate takeover losing colleagues along the way adjusting to new ways of working that I'm sure you're not going to be a good guy.

I'm sure there are perhaps for faster and more intense than they used to be ultimately what are you choosing to work for a small startup over the big company and correctly so monkey boy 1138 hypothesizes that Toy Story 4 is going to be about retirement and the transition to not working at all and I thought that was such a adult theme I saw this movie alongside my mom who just retired and I watch it affect my mom I'm like this is not a kids movie I was like yeah you just watch this movie and I'm going to be a good guy.

You just watched what you are literally going through and I thought to deal with like that idea of knowing when your time is up and to finally find your own joy and you don't go off and to greener pastors I thought that was such a beautiful I don't know I just thought it was a beautiful way to kind of wrap up the series and not even wrap up the series but wrap up that arc.

It's so beautiful to bad baby members have made it so we never get to retire.

I mean that is true we'll be working for the rest of our lives to answer my Pixar pick which you didn't even answer yet you just said you didn't want toy story 4 all the way toy story 2 feels super strong but then I also like inside out a lot as well I haven't seen inside out enough to say that it definitively belongs on the list but it also that movie I think has affected me the most out of all the Pixar films on the first viewing and like there are moments like up the beginning whoa.

Crushing you know whatever beautiful Wally the opening of Wally men beautiful but there wasn't about inside out that they described something about the brain and thoughts and emotions that I never really see articulated and in the way they showed that and gave that to children to have to articulate themselves was just I thought that was just beautiful.

I think that I do like that idea of like externalizing the emotions you're having I am feeling anger and I am angry yeah we have the books now my kids and I will read those books and that's really interesting to kind of.

Help label emotions something that I don't think that you there was really were given access to as a kid and I think that movie works as an adult and it works as as a kid and now there's a I think a roller coaster of emotions opening up at Disneyland and the Pixar pier which I wonder if you'll get.

All the different emotions in there but we'll see now Amy I know you still haven't give me a pick so I'm going to give you a couple more seconds to think about it as we listen to people called in with their favorite Pixar picks.

I've got to go with Wally for my Pixar choice it's funny when I watched the general I couldn't help but think of Wally you know the silent film near silent film protagonist who gets in this major predicament all you know for the cause of love and.

Or subsequently the cause of something greater one of my personal favorites is a bug life and I I'm saying this partially because I know that no one's going to mention it it has one of the better on the cast of the Pixar movies I think that it's really good and I think that it gets less credit than it deserves.

It may be recently biased but I don't care I love Coco so much makes me cry like well baby every time so I would put that on the list.

If I had to pick one Pixar movie to be on the list I would have to pick inside out I think the way it teaches children about emotions and kind of puts them in boxes that even kids and some adults can understand in a way that they never really thought about before was really incredible.

Not to mention you know Amy polar is awesome in that movie Amy to have it to Pixar pick you have to pick one.

All right she takes them all again she's not picking a Pixar movie squirrel squirrel I don't know I'm just quoting the dog in up no sister.

So people were really interesting stuff about Toy Story I'm actually stealing this one thing from the Facebook group is from Joel Salinas and he wrote that he has a really interesting theory about why Mr. Potato Head is the heavy in this movie why Mr. Potato Head is kind of the closest thing to an antagonist he says that his fan theory is that Mr. Potato Head was Andy's favorite toy when he was a toddler and he has been filled with resentment since Woody took on that role and he sees as this opportunity to dethrone Woody.
