TOPG Ep 119: The Toy

This week on Too Old or Pure Gold, we revisit The Toy (1982), the Richard Pryor comedy that asks one of the strangest questions in movie history: what if a billionaire bought a person as a plaything for his spoiled son? With Pryor's legendary charisma, Jackie Gleason chewing the scenery, and a premise that raises more than a few eyebrows today, we break down the laughs, the heart, and the uncomfortable moments. Does this forgotten comedy still have something to say, or should it stay in the toy box? Hosts: Olen Vanderleeden & Mathew Stockton Cast: Will Corry & Josh Fleming
