Listen "032 - Why Toy Story 4 Should Not Exist"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever had a perfect 3 course meal? You start with a surprisingly great appetizer full of flavour that did just as it's name implies: it appetized you. You think it can't get much better than that, but then they bring out the entré, and against all odds it was just as good as the first course. Now some time has passed, you've had this food sitting in your belly for a while, and they're about to bring you your dessert. Do you really need this dessert? Is it going to ruin a good thing? You're both looking forward to it and also afraid of it tarnishing your view of this complete dinner. When it arrives you find that it not only compliments the rest of your meal, but it fully completes it. It hits the spot in every way. You get up to walk away from this meal completely satisfied....
But then, before you're out the door, a disheveled man rushes in and hands you more food. "I didn't order this. I don't need this," You say to the man. But he insists you need to eat it. If you enjoyed the rest of the meal you'll enjoy this too. You look it over. It looks like a microwaved-from-frozen version of the meal you just ate. Sure the pieces look the same, but the food completely misses the mark. The flavours are contradictory to what made the first three courses so good, and it's completely unnecessary. That dessert was a perfect ending and this new dish is taking away from the perfection of that ending. It's edible, and was served in the same restaurant, but why was this even made?
Anyway, enough about a strange encounter I had at The Olive Garden, let's talk about Toy Story 4...
