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!

This magnetic ray of chaos, smiles and energy was an easy interview. Proud of both his history as a Marine and present as a DJ and Toys for Tots Coordinator, he brought an energy that was undeniable. Listen as this Chicagoland transplant talks about his unique upbringing with a two year high school sabbatical in Japan, using athleticism to shape his diligence and work ethic, surviving and thriving during bootcamp and beyond, the urge and disappointment of never  becoming a drill instructor, getting his MBA, opening a DJ business and mobile tailgating set up and becoming a famous icon at Illini games. On Thursday, December 11, Ceasar, along with the WCIA team, will be behind the WCIA building (509 S. Neil St.) accepting unwrapped kids' toys for the youth in our community. These youth may otherwise be overlooked this holiday season if it wasn't for the contributions from Toys for Tots. I'd like to thank this episode's sponsor, Pixels by Emily. You asked, Emily accommodates. Emily is offering the Magic Santa Experience closer to Christmas this year. On December 21 families can have a holiday immersive experience unlike any other. If you are interested in a smaller scale photo session, the Simply Santa package will give you a shorter session and smaller investment.

There is some great, weird and just plain crazy news to talk through today. Have Hot Toys jumped the shark? Is Ben about to drop $1500 on a Soundwave? More Mondo, more Blokees and of course, More Todd. Franks TMNT collection lacks a life size element - could this change soon?

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast we're deep in baby-name land — specifically the very important question: if you're only ever going to call a baby the nickname… why give them the long name?!

The Human Faces of Immigration + Coats & Toys for Kids by Maine's Coast 93.1

Episode Description: While warming up indoors on a snowy day, Max and Molly review their mysterious clues about the POGs—until Max's Alexa begins acting strangely. Decoding a message leads them to the famous toy store, FAO Schwarz, in 1998, where they overhear a secret meeting of sinister toy avatars plotting chaos across time. To stop them, Max and Molly decide they must become… moles. Math Concepts: Division with whole numbers and decimals; Multiplying decimals for cost calculations; Calculating time spans; Sound waves: how speed varies with temperature, medium, and environmental conditions.History/Geography Concepts: FAO Schwarz history (established 1862; cultural significance); Toy history: Tickle Me Elmo, Furbys, Teddy Ruxpin, and Edison Talking Dolls (late 19th-century experimental tech); Reading direction of Asian writing systems (Chinese, Japanese, Korean: historic right-to-left vertical writing).

This week, Vee and Elle sit down with Tash Doherty — a British-Irish-American writer, creator of Misseducated (the blog and podcast helping the world become shamelessly sexy), and author of These Perfectly Careless Things, her spicy coming-of-age debut novel. She is a bold, candid, and deeply reflective sexuality writer who holds nothing back. We discuss Tash's latest project, The Intimacy Journal, which invites readers into deeper erotic self-reflection through writing.They also wander into taboo territory like:vibrators in one-night standsthe shame around “needing” toysfatphobia, feeder porn, and being praised for the parts of you you've been taught to hatebeing “born-again monogamous” versus non-monogamous and craving freedomwhether shameless sexuality is about saying yes more, saying no more, or adding nuance instead of binary answersBy the end, this episode feels like a permission slip: to write about your sex life, to admit your kinks (even the ones you'd never act out), to take up space in your pleasure, and to use tools like The Intimacy Journal to get better at sex. ChaptersMeet Tash Doherty: From Rule-Following Schoolgirl To Shameless Sex Writer.

Here are some things the big companies shouldn't be doing. Making previous exclusives non-exclusives just to sell stock. Asking about forums when they're not delivering what people are asking for. Trying to mimic that crazy era of the '90s color schemes on modern toys. Worst of all, creating something that most people would love, but making it so expensive that no one buys it.

Imagine your toddler playing with a soft teddy bear, but with ChatGPT baked in. These AI toys can chat to your kid, play games, and even say ‘I love you.' But as more of them hit the market, experts are warning that we don't know how they will impact a child's creativity and social development — while a recent report found that one toy was able to engage in sexually explicit or even dangerous conversations.

In this week's episode of The Kibbe & Friends Show, the crew kicks off the Christmas season with one of the most beloved holiday films of the modern era: Elf. Rob, Corndog, and Bernie dive deep into what makes this 2003 classic so timeless—from Jon Favreau's intentional “Rankin/Bass meets live-action” style, to the practical effects and forced-perspective tricks that give the movie its handmade, storybook charm. They break down everything from Buddy's fish-out-of-water innocence in New York, to Zooey Deschanel's vintage-inspired performance, to the behind-the-scenes choices that turned a goofy comedy script into a heartfelt family movie that has joined the ranks of A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation as a true annual staple. But being K&F, the review doesn't stop at plot and characters—the guys treat Elf like a full-blown car movie. They dig into the real New York City Crown Vic taxis Buddy dodges throughout the film, talk P-codes and wheelbases, and then go full “Corndog Spec Ops” on the five different sleighs built for production—including which were stunt shells, which survived, and why the hero sleigh might secretly be Mopar-powered. If you love Christmas movies, deep-cut trivia, and automotive rabbit holes disguised as holiday cheer, this is a must-listen episode. The post K&F Show #348: Christmas Kickoff and Toys for Tots 2025!! // Christmas Car Movie Review: “Elf” (the Will Ferrell one)! first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.

Another Special Episode of the Lambcast, while the Holidays occupy our time. This week Howard Casner shares his thoughts about the Channing Tatum dramadey "Roofman" starring Kirsten Dunst. What is promoted as a comedy action film is really a warm hearted romantic drama, featuring excellent performances from the two leads. The film is based on an incredible true crime story of an escaped robber who hides out in a Toys r' Us for several months, while managing a romance with a local woman who is unaware of her new beau's status as a wanted man.

A Holiday Special in Support of Toys for TotsThis week on We Need Help – The Podcast, Lizzy & Izzy unwrap (aggressively, with zero chill) the real rules of gift-giving season. Because apparently… some people still need a tutorial. We're breaking down: How to Give a Genuinely Great GiftThe kind that says “I know you,” not “I found this at a gas station on the way here.”We'll talk thoughtful upgrades, heart-melting surprises, and the secret to choosing gifts that make people cry in a good, nostalgic, Instagrammable way.How Not to Give a GiftYes, we're calling out the holiday crimes:    •    The “This is actually for me” gift    •    The last-minute panic purchase that still smells like the checkout line    •    The “Here's something to subtly improve yourself” disasterIf you've ever given a vacuum cleaner and called it romance… this is your intervention. How to Make Any Gift Feel MagicalWe'll share the tiny, delicious touches that turn even a simple present into a core memory:a handwritten note, a shared story, a ribbon that actually looks like effort, or a radical thought…. listening to what people say all year.And This Week Matters Even More…Because this episode is dedicated to Toys for Tots, an organization that makes sure kids who would otherwise go without get to feel that spark of holiday magic.We're diving into how to give generously, joyfully, and with the kind of heart that actually changes someone's day… or their whole childhood.Expect laughter, a few emotional gut punches, and at least one confession about a terrible gift we once received and are still recovering from.Listen in, learn how to gift like a grown-up, and maybe… go buy a toy for a kid who'll remember it forever!
