SHOWNOTES: Hello citizens of Tromaville! We were joined by longtime friend of the podcast Michael Cornwell, to celebrate the 37th anniversary of one of cinema's most endearing indie/horror/exploitation icons of all time: the legendary Toxic Avenger! We get into the world of Troma, discuss the hilarious journey Melvin takes in becoming Tromaville's greatest hero, and we revel in all the insane practical gore and irreverant humor that makes this movie so absolutely beloved by fans of trashy cult cinema! So watch out for open barrels of toxic waste, and join our discussion on this amazingly fun, yet hilariously revolting indie classic!
