PMP#226: Toy Story Played Out
from The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast · host Mark Linsenmayer

We consider the premise whereby your toys are loyal slaves that come to life whenever unobserved, the critique of screen-play in the new film, the use of nostalgia in the films, the repetition and/or escalation throughout the series, the horror-adjacency of living dolls, the emotional manipulation, and whether enough is enough.
