What’s up, dudes? It’s a Barry Levinson passion project, and it’s next level nuts! Yes, it’s the Robin Williams vehicle “Toys!” I’ve got Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa and Sean Sotka from the Christmas Podcasts Podcast with me to talk all about the bonkers film.

Eccentric toymaker Kenneth Zevo passes away, and his last wish is that his brother the Lieutenant General take over the running of the business. Leland is a military man through and through, and sees little point in toy making. The business should really have been given to Kenneth’s son Leslie.

Controversially, the General begins making war toys against the company’s longstanding tradition and philosophy. Eventually, he begins making toys with live weaponry behind Leslie's back, and recruiting children to pilot his army. Leslie, his new girlfriend, and his family—including his robot sister—have to band together to put an end to Leland's tyranny. Oh, they do.

Elephant conveyor belt? Yep. Robin Wright? Uh huh. Mayonnaise sandwich? Ugh… So grab your wind up toys, put on a bowler hat, and fight the Ender’s Game scenario with this episode!
