The Lost Gals

Toys (1992)

Season 1, Ep. 4

An unsung Robin Williams vehicle, Clare and Megan dive into this feast for the eyes that's full of dopamine hits and find a whole family of neurodivergent people! Maybe not what the filmmakers intended, but oh boy, did we see it! This stellar cast (Robin Williams, Michael Gambon, Joan Cusack, Robin Wright, LL Cool J) tell the story of a family owned toy company taken over by their military loving Uncle, who alters Zevo Toys' whimsical atmosphere with his ulterior motives.


After we trot through the plot, we have a discussion on how our sparkle brains work and if you make it that far, you probably have a sparkle brain we want to hear about!

  • 7. Kindergarten Cop (1990)

    49:06||Season 1, Ep. 7
    Well, well, well... Clare and Megan dive into yet another, "who was this too violent for children and too much about children to be for grown ups movie made for?" Possibly for Arnold Schwarzenegger, who takes a charming turn as a very earnest cop turned talented Kindergarten teacher who's not afraid to go searching for perps in a small town filled with divorcees.If you're enjoying the pod, let us know by leaving a nice review and we'd also love to connect with you on instagram!Intro underscoring "Showdown" by Kevin MacLeod
  • 6. All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989)

    53:20||Season 1, Ep. 6
    Clare and Megan tackle this animated classic that has heavy themes and (trigger warning) a dark and heavy story behind the scenes, as well. Beautiful animation and an amazing voice cast have us making music together and singing in sweet harmony about this Don Bluth picture that grasps both the light and dark of life and death.Opening underscoring "Showdown" by Kevin MacLeod
  • 5. Captain Ron (1992)

    56:56||Season 1, Ep. 5
    Light the fires and kick the tires, mateys! Clare and Megan are setting sail with Captain Ron and the family that was "lucky" enough to be blessed with this magical being. We develop a theory that Captain Ron has a mary poppins-esque quality that is of a higher power. Reading too deeply?

  • 3. Drop Dead Fred (1991)

    01:16:54||Season 1, Ep. 3
    We peel off the tape and revisit the controversial Drop Dead Fred. Could it be that this movie was never intended for children at all? Megan and Clare dive into what's appropriate for kids, the logic of a bombastic imaginary friend, and mental illness.

    Clare and Megan hang with the Hendersons who have just found themselves a giant problem. But things are not always as they seem! The sweet-faced bigfoot stomps all over the Hendersons' house and into their hearts- AND OURS (spoiler). We were positively delighted by this favorite and pleasantly surprised by the ways in which it holds up.Opening Scoring "Call to Adventure" by Kevin MacleodLet us know what you think of Harry and the Hendersons by connecting with us on Instagram @LostGalsPodcast or Patreon.
