In this episode of the show we are joined once again by our good buddy Jackson Boren to talk about Toy Soldiers!!! Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about why we think this movie has disappeared from the popular consciousness despite being engineered to resonate with young adults, the short-lived directorial career of Daniel Petrie Jr., the romantic allure of the 80s and 90s villains, practical effects, squibs and military hardware, Sean Astin's Samwise Gamgee energy, the importance of having a switched-on henchman and much more!
Tune in and enjoy!
Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy Burrows
