SOUL (2020) MOVIE REACTION - PIXAR’S DEEPEST FILM ABOUT LIFE, DEATH & PURPOSE?! -FIRST TIME WATCHING

WHAT A REFLECTIVE EXPERIENCE! Soul Movie Reaction & Commentary with Greg Alba and Jackie Bonsignore! With Toy Story 5 hitting theaters soon and Pixar back in the spotlight with Toy Story 5 Toys vs Tech, Hoppers Pixar, and the larger Pixar 2026 movies conversation, we’re diving into the Pixar vault for one of their most profound animated films: Soul.

We break down Jamie Foxx as Joe Gardner, Tina Fey as 22, The Great Before Pixar, the meaning of the spark, the difference between purpose and passion, Joe’s obsession with his dream gig, and how the movie explores anxiety, lost souls, mentorship, creativity, and learning to appreciate regular old living. We also talk about the incredible music, including the jazz world of Joe Gardner, the original jazz by Jon Batiste, and the otherworldly Trent Reznor Atticus Ross score that gives the movie its spiritual, existential feeling. From the barbershop scene to 22 discovering pizza, subway chaos, New York life, Joe’s mom, Dorothea Williams, and the Pixar Soul ending explained conversation, this movie gave us a lot to unpack. As we continue our Pixar movie marathon and Pixar animation retrospective leading into Toy Story 5, we’re asking: is Soul one of Pixar’s deepest movies? Does it hit harder as an adult? And what is the difference between your spark and your purpose? #Soul #Pixar #ToyStory5 #MovieReaction #ReelRejects #SoulPixar #FirstTimeWatching #JamieFoxx #TinaFey #TrentReznor #AtticusRoss #JonBatiste #PixarMovies #HoppersPixar #react #reaction #reacting #moviereaction #movie #firsttimewatchingmoviereaction #firsttimewatch #firsttimewatching 0:00 Checking in 2:25 Soul Reaction 56:30 Soul Review Follow Jackie Bonsignore: https://www.instagram.com/jackiebonsignore/ Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y
