If you're gonna spy, you better spy hard. Before the release of Lightyear, Kevin Parker fires up his engine to defend the movie that is * by far* the worst-reviewed and received Pixar movie, 2011's Cars 2 . While not defending it as a masterpiece, Kevin believes the Mater-driven car spy movie is easily the best entry in the much-maligned franchise. We go deep into the more creative world-building, the improved protagonist, the Cronenbergian body horror of these movies, their weirdly conservative undertones, and make fun of Lightning McQueen for just being a terrible character.
