So many people love the "Toy Story" franchise that they had reason to look forward to the prequel "Lightyear," but HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano are sorry to report in this podcast episode that it's no more than mildly entertaining. Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Chris Evans, who replaced Tim Allen) is kept busy in a story that is less amusing than earlier installments. Marie and Mike also discuss "Elvis," about which they mostly disagree. Marie likes the energetic filmmaking style of director Baz Luhrmann, while Mike thinks the director is often just showing off his technical virtuosity. They also are not in complete agreement about the characterizations of Austin Butler as Elvis Presley and Tom Hanks as Colonel Parker. Fortunately, they are in enthusiastic agreement that Elvis' music remains exciting throughout this biopic.
