They Called This a Movie Episode 84 - The Toxic Avenger (1984)

He was 98 pounds of solid nerd, until he became... THE TOXIC AVENGER. That's right. This week, we're headed to Tromaville and we're watching the film that put Lloyd Kaufman on the map, with the 1984 film, The Toxic Avenger. Gruesome deaths, foul mouths, and babes are aplenty in this low-budget cult classic. So grab a mop and watch out for toxic waste as we discuss our feelings on Troma Films, how much we dislike Melvin's face, and marvel at the balls-to-the-wall attitude of the film. You can find us on iTunes, Stitcher, and Google Play Podcasts. If you want to see more from us, check out the website and follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.  We are now part of Geek Vibes Nation, so be sure to check out their website and to look for us on their future podcast shows. This week's episode features music from Dave Katusa and you can follow him on Instagram.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.Our theme music was written and performed by Dave Katusa.
