With Jeremy Fuster having to bow out for the week, Caroline Siede, she of The AV Club, the podcast Role Calling (each episode is “a five-film retrospective starring an actor they love”), stops by to discuss all things Toy Story 5, with a few brief notes related to Obsession’s ridiculous legs, hopes and fears for Supergirl and last weekend’s other three releases (The Death of Robin Hood, Leviticus and Girls Like Girls). Among the subjects of discourse…

* All of the reasons (some less obvious than others) that Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story remains a top-tier artistic and commercial franchise

* The miracle that is Jessie, beginning as a supporting character in Toy Story 2 and then almost immediately becoming a co-lead going forward

* Why you can’t make a Toy Story movie without Woody or Buzz

* Whether any franchise can match Toy Story’s artistic batting average

* The value of keeping theatrical IP almost exclusive to theatrical release

* How A24 has positioned itself, whether it works each time out, as a genuine brand name for moviegoers

* The commercial value of LGBTQIA-friendly movies during Pride Month
