About Toy Soldiers (1991)
After federal agents arrest a drug czar and put him on trial, the cartel leader's vicious son storms a prep school and takes its students hostage. They rebel against the armed intruders and try to take back their academy by any means necessary.
What We Discussed on the Podcast
For this episode, Nic has chosen Toy Soldiers from 1991, starring Sean Astin, Wil Wheaton, and Louis Gossett, Jr. This is one Steve had never seen before, so without the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia, how would he respond to the story of a gang of terrorists / criminals / cartel members (whatever they are) taking over a posh boarding school and threatening to blow everyone up?
The guys discuss the plot, the casting choices, and the overall vibe of this early-90s classic of the "kids save the day" subgenre, and ask the question: should this movie have been PG-13?
Listen along and see if you agree with their takes on Toy Soldiers now, 34 years after its release.
