Episode 277 - All Things Troma

So we thought it would be fun to do a show about Troma, the indie movie studio that has given us such classic exploitation comedy-horror schlock like The Toxic Avenger and Surf Nazis Must Die! for decades now. Turns out, we were dead wrong. The funny thing about Troma - at least for us - is that we always seem to remember the movies fondly…until we have the actual butt-squirming experience of trying to sit through one. But hey, at least there’s all the splatter and gore and naked boobs that a $500 production budget will allow! Anyway, we pick our favorite titles and then complain a lot about how it is too bad we aren’t 14 years old anymore so we could truly enjoy what is now regarded as the definitive Troma aesthetic.
