AFI Top 100: Ben Hur (100) and Toy Story (99)

January 10, 2025 • Dan

A new year, a new series! In 2025 my plan is to work through the AFI 100 Years... 100 (10th Anniversary Edition). For this first installment we're covering the last 2 films on the list, but two very groundbreaking films for their respective times: Ben Hur from 1959 and Toy Story from 1995, very different but both very important and impressive films. Check out the episode to hear my thoughts on each, where they hold up, where maybe they fall behind as time moves on, and what I think of them overall.

Huge praise to the gods of the show: The Alita Army and Jack Thorne for their generous donations to help end Type One Diabetes, and most greatest praise is reserved for the one and only god of gods, with a whopping $10,000 donation, Zach Whittier!!!!
