  • S5 E6: Route 2319
    Jun 8 2026

    In this Showdown episode, Conor and Caroline are taking in the sights of two of Pixar's most iconic locales: Monstropolis and Radiator Springs. Is the cozy, metropolitan aesthetic of 2001's Monsters, Inc. enough to overcome Monstropolis's lack of work/life balance? Is the charm of the forgotten town of Radiator Springs in 2006's Cars enough to make it worthy of a pit stop? Start your engines and hang on to your doors because this road trip is going to be a scream!
