About this episode

The episode discusses Pixar's 'Lightyear' and its unexpected rating, alongside insights from the hosts' backgrounds in Disney and conspiracy-themed projects.

Pixar's first NC-17 film if we count the 21-plus rating it has in Indonesia. All for a split-second of screentime that I failed to even notice when watching the movie. Thomas moved from art direction at Disney World, to creating entertaining comic books, podcasts, and toys riffing on conspiracy theories.
