Joan Cusack was the Robot Barbie ahead of her time.

I don't know if that's a spoiler because it was honestly hard to follow Barry Levinson's fever dream passion project TOYS. We debate the creep factor of many things in this film:

• The use of Robin Williams childlike nature YET AGAIN used as a means of courtship. This time THE PRINCESS BRIDE herself, Robin Wright, is the unfortunate love interest.
• LL COOL J as The Prodigal Son and ALSO The Master of Disguise (shoutout to Dana Carvey.)
• And finally... the white privilege of a robot's chosen diet.

If you want more follow along as we cover the films of 1983 this year and continue 1993 at the movies on our Patreon feed such as the family film BODY OF EVIDENCE!
