About this listen
Today, we’re talking about the 1982 film The Toy starring Richard Pryor as Jack Brown - a struggling writer who gets hired by the affluent U.S. Bates to be a friend to his lonely but incredibly spoiled child, Eric. You see, Eric just wants to be loved and hugged, but he also wants a full grown black man to dress in Spider Man costumes that he can torment for his own amusement. So he’s also a little f$%@ing demon. The film centers around the growing and unlikely friendship between Jack and lil’ Eric, where Eric eventually comes to see Jack as - GASP! - an actual human being.
The film stars Richard Pryor, Jackie Gleason, Ned Beatty, and Scott Schwartz and has a runtime of 1hr 42 min.
