Small Soldiers Analysis — GC #328

This week, Arthur is vindicated as the gang finally gets to talk Small Soldiers. Joe Dante's 1998 action-comedy about toys come to life is equal parts Toy Story and Gremlins. Featuring an all-star 90s cast, Small Soldiers sees two teens take on a fleet of G.I. Joe-adjacent toys known as the Commando Elite. We talk all about pastiche and post-modernism, military complex, masculinity and ideology and much more. Tune in now, and let us know what you think of 1998's Small Soldiers.
