S2E7 | Toy: Teddy Ruxpin

Come dream with us tonight, as we pop in our cassettes and tune into the magical world of Teddy Ruxpin, his pals Grubby and Newton Gimmick, and the world of Grundo. We learn all about Teddy's Disney origins, Nintendo connections, and spin-offs that include a cartoon, live-action show, Teddy 'n Chill, and a new doll design with eyes your nightmares won't soon forget. For extra credit, count how many times Ben gripes about animal species and Chris throws around the term janky.

Support the show by tossing us some lunch money at ko-fi.com/80shighpodcast. Write an 80's inspired note when you do, and we'll share it on the show!
