Ep. 73: Back to the Future Part III, Cowboy Doc & the Trilogy Finale

Ep. 75: Return of the King, Long Goodbyes & the End of an Era

One podcast season to rule them all. This week, Jeff and Josue close out Season 4 — our Year of Trilogies — by skipping straight to the end of one of our favorite trilogies ever: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003). It’s our season finale, our milestone 75th episode, and the end of WDYT?! in its current format… so naturally, we picked the movie famous for having about eight endings. We talk Middle-earth scale, Gandalf’s skin routine, Denethor’s tomato crimes, Sam and Frodo’s friendship, and whether Return of the King still feels as epic as it did the first time. Plus: we open with One Quiz to Rule Them All — a Tolkien trivia game full of ancient beings, confusing family trees, and Middle-earth senior discounts. Special thanks to Middle Earth Art Store for letting us use a few questions from one of their Tolkien trivia quizzes!

You’ve reached After the Credits — where we dig into the extra trivia, weird details, and leftover thoughts from Toy Story 3. Jeff & Josue stick around for one last trip to Sunnyside with behind-the-scenes facts, animation breakthroughs, and a few classic rabbit trails that somehow take us from Pixar… to Avatar… to Titanic (yes, really). From Tom Hanks and Tim Allen recording together to boost Woody & Buzz’s chemistry, to early Lotso concepts hidden in Toy Story, to the surprisingly difficult challenge of animating… trash bags — there’s a lot more going on in this movie than you might expect. Plus: * A few “wait… how does THAT work?” Toy Story logic debates * Creepy Toy Story moments we didn’t talk about enough 👀 * Pixar pulling inspiration from prison movies for Sunnyside * And a real-time debate about what we should watch for our final episode of the season It’s a relaxed, slightly nerdy cooldown for anyone who isn’t quite ready to leave Andy’s room just yet. 🎙 Chapters: 00:00 After the Credits Begins… (with a quick tangent) 06:05 Toy Story Trivia & Behind-the-Scenes 22:27 Tech Talk Tangent 26:34 Choosing Our Season Finale Movie 🎬 Companion to Ep. 74 — Toy Story 3 (2010) If you haven’t listened to the full episode yet, we recommend starting there first. 🎧 Listener Question: What’s a movie detail, plot hole, or “wait… HOW did that happen?” moment you can’t stop thinking about? ⭐️ Enjoying After the Credits?

Ep. 74: Toy Story 3 — Spanish Buzz, Prison Breaks & Emotional Damage

Pixar did it again. They lured us in with new toys, fresh adventure, and… Spanish Buzz? Then they pulled the rug out and gave us moments of real reflection about growing up and letting go. This week, Jeff and Josue revisit Toy Story 3 (2010)—the movie that sends Andy to college, drops the toys into Sunnyside Daycare, and somehow turns into a prison break story with one of Pixar’s most emotional endings. Is this the end… or just the beginning? We talk Lotso’s arc, Pixar’s evolution, that near-death moment, and whether this was the ending the franchise should have stopped on—especially with Toy Story 4 and 5 now in the mix. 🎙 This Week on WDYT?!: 00:00 Childhood Toys & Growing Up 03:52 QUIZ: Pixar Movies Poorly Explained 13:41 Quick Facts & Pixar’s Run 26:17 Quotable Quotes: Story Walkthrough 36:21 Meet the New Toys (and Voices) 42:08 Lotso, Spanish Buzz & Toy Prison 51:34 Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Incinerator 1:02:43 Final Verdict: Hold Up or Pure Nostalgia? 1:09:16 Closing the Loop 1:14:01 What’s Next for WDYT?! ✅ Join the Conversation Was Toy Story 3 the perfect ending?

Ep. 73.5: Back to the Future III [AFTER THE CREDITS]

You’ve reached After the Credits — where we dig into the extra trivia, weird details, and leftover thoughts from Back to the Future Part III. Jeff & Josue stick around for one last ride through the Wild West with behind-the-scenes facts, casting “what ifs,” and a few hilarious rabbit trails that didn’t make the main episode. From wild on-set stories and surprise almost-cameos to stunt work, ZZ Top earworms, historical goofs, and the classic “how did Doc even build THAT?” debate, there’s plenty here for anyone still hanging out in 1885. Plus, a quick update at the end of the episode about what’s coming next for the show. It’s a relaxed, slightly nerdy cooldown for anyone who isn’t quite ready to leave the Old West just yet. 🎬 Companion to Ep. 72 — Back to the Future III (1990). If you haven’t listened to the full episode yet, we recommend starting there first. 🎧 Listener Question: What’s a movie detail, goof, or “wait… HOW did that happen?” moment you can’t stop thinking about? ⭐️ Enjoying After the Credits?

Ep. 73: Back to the Future Part III, Cowboy Doc & the Trilogy Finale

We’re heading back… to 1885. This week, Jeff & Josue wrap up the trilogy with Back to the Future Part III (1990)—the Wild West finale that swaps hoverboards for horses and turns Doc Brown into a romantic leading man. (and wraps up one of the most iconic trilogies of all time.) As kids, this one felt like the “extra” sequel. As adults? It might be the most complete ending of the trilogy. We talk about the Western setting, Doc’s unexpected love story, the callbacks to the original, and whether this movie sticks the landing… or just rides off on nostalgia. Plus: a “Third Time’s the Charm” limerick game, time travel logic (again), and a train finale that makes for a shaky landing. 👦 Special thanks to Clark Abyad for this week’s kid intro. 🎙 This Week on WDYT?!: 00:00 Kid Intro + Talking Part 3’s 05:49 Third Time’s the Charm (Opening Game 🤠) 18:51 Quick Facts & First Impressions 28:24 Setup devices 32:15 Quotable Quotes: Back to 1885 45:04 BTTF’s Best Actor, Time Logic & Trilogy Payoff 58:41 What Do We Think of This?!
