CARS 3 Review and our obsession with sequels

June 16, 2017

(Podcast contains MILD spoilers--nothing that's not in the trailers) Andy Farnsworth and award-winning writer and guest contributor Aaron Zundel are talking CARS 3 in this podcast.  The latest offering from Disney and Pixar is an attempt by the lucrative merchandising franchise to recover from the widely reviled Cars 2, generally considered the worst of the Pixar movies. CARS 3 brings back Lightning McQueen, Tow Mater, Sally, Luigi and the rest of the crew from Radiator Springs, plus it introduces us to newcomers Cruz Ramirez, Sterling and Lightning's young rival Jackson Storm. But, does CARS 3 have a story worth telling?  Is it a good Pixar movie?  Is it a victim or beneficiary of being a sequel?  What makes a sequel worth watching?  Where do we think CARS 3 ranks among all the Pixar movies?  Listen to the podcast, then give us your opinions in the comments!
