Episode Synopsis
This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt discus the latest content from Disney, it’s ‘Lightyear’, the movie Andy saw that inspired his love for the Buzz Lightyear character and toys! Is it a fitting sorta’ origin for Buzz? And where is poor, poor Tim Allen? Then it’s time for the guys to grow up one more time with the latest coming-of-age film, ‘Cha Chan Real Smooth’.

There’s the interstellar review of the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Straight To DVD and Streaming Picks of the Week! Then Matt and Chris close out the show by sharing their 5 Favorite Pixar Characters? I wouldn’t hold out hope for a Lightning McQueen appearance. Vroom Vroom!
