Fighting On Film
Small Soldiers (1998)
Ep. 244
•
What happens when the military industrial complex gets involved in the toy industry and some highly advanced military microchips find there way into a new line of toys? Chaos is the answer! Join us this week for our 2025 Christmas Special as we discuss 'Small Soldiers', a 90s cult classic from director Joe Dante. Starring Tommy Lee Jones, Frank Langella, some '90s stalwarts, and not forgetting members of the iconic casts of The Dirty Dozen and Spinal Tap, the film sees the Gorgonites go head to head with the Commando Elite. Robbie and Matt remember a childhood classic fondly in the last FoF episode before Christmas!
