Hollywood knows you'll show up for Woody and Grogu — but should you? This week on So Many Sequels, Josh, Garrett, and David dig into the freshest trailers for Toy Story 5 and The Mandalorian & Grogu, asking the question that studios hope you never get around to: are we watching great stories, or are we just Pavlov's dogs salivating at familiar faces?
The crew unpacks what the Toy Story 5 trailer actually reveals about Woody's return, why Jessie might finally get her moment, and whether the iPad-as-villain is the most honest thing Pixar's ever put on screen. Then it's on to a Star Wars universe that even its most loyal fans are struggling to defend — from a Mando movie that looks suspiciously like a Disney+ episode to a broader conversation about franchise fatigue, the Filoni era, and why Andor was brilliant television that apparently nobody watched. Plus: a quick detour through the wreckage of Psycho Killer, a slasher with brutal kills and dialogue so bad it looped back around to funny.
