Podcast Series How Did This Get Made?

Robin Williams re-teaming with Barry Levinson, what could go wrong? Apparently, a lot! Film/culture critic Drew McWeeny joins Paul & Jason to discuss the 1992 surreal comedy Toys, where Robin Williams plays a less charming and more preachy Willy Wonka. They cover LL Cool J's interrogation, the bonkers reveal about Joan Cusack's character, and the strange tone and casting choices. Oh and don't worry, we don't forget about the sea monster!
