Toy Story 3 & 4 (2010/2019) - Our friendship will never die
Dan and Brian continue their discussion of the Toy Story series in honor of Dan's birthday, this time focusing on the latter entries in the series. Join as they talk through the conceptual bravery, the complex spiritual undertones and round symbolism of the trilogy, the curious tale of Michael Arndt, the strange blend of consumerism and kindness celebrated, the messy but occasionally satisfying fourth outing, the Lightyear odd duck, and their hopes for Toy Story 5. Then, they rate all of the Toy Story movies on the Is It Good? scale.
If you missed it, check out Part 1 containing a discussion of Toy Story 1 and Toy Story 2.

(The) Little Shop of Horrors (1960/1986) - Puppet potential
Accompany The Goods as they dream they'll go somewhere that's green. Dan and Brian convene to celebrate Roger Corman, including his 1960 public domain cheapo creepy-comedy The Little Shop of Horrors. Then, they discuss the Ashman-Menken musical adaptation as adapted by Frank Oz in 1986. Join as they discuss the parallels to previous Goods selection A Bucket of Blood, the "ethnic" comedy, the terrific partnership between Ashman and Menken, the two filmed endings to the musical, and the surprising cast of both films.

Not Your Average Film Podcast
The Goods is a new film podcast that surprisingly avoids a lot of the pitfalls that new podcasts fall into. First of all the audio is very high quality, especially in the newer episodes. But even in the first few episodes, there is very little background noise (something I am particularly sensitive to) and the hosts come through crisp and clear. The Goods also avoids the common problem of trying to imitate other more succesful podcasts. From the unique rating system they use, to the movies they choose to review, you can tell Brian and Dan are really trying to do their own thing here, and in my opinion it works. I also really appreciate the lack of filler in each episode. Each one is between an hour to an hour and half, but they feel much shorter. They're consistently entertaining and it never feels like the hosts are belaboring a point. Also, no ads whatsoever. Definetely check it out if you're a movie lover.
