The Pixar Pod: Part 3 - WALL-E, Up, Toy Story 3, Cars 2, Brave


The Pixar Pod is back! James, Lexie and Ricky rejoin to discuss the company's film line-up with three beloved movies that some consider to be the studio's golden trilogy - the absolute best of Pixar, if not the art of animation itself... and then Cars 2 and Brave.
BUT are the latter two worthy of their lackluster reception, or are critics and audiences missing something?

I Am Not Throwing Away My Pod

How does a bastard, an orphan, son of a whore
And Scotsman, dropped in the middle forgotten spot
In the Caribbean by Providence, impoverished, in squalor
Grow up to be THE BIGGEST SHOW ON BROADWAY!!!!

The Downes Bros (Ricky and Pat) sit down and talk about the biggest thing since Paul Revere's ride: Hamilton. While neither have yet to make it in the room where it happens, the brothers discuss the show's highlights, commitment to diversity and American identity, Tony predictions, and the controversial talk about a movie adaption.
Man, the show's NON-STOP.
