Min 5: UNA BATALLA TRAS OTRA Una batalla tras otra, la nueva película de Paul Thomas Anderson, nos mete de lleno en un drama intenso y sin concesiones. Al frente del reparto brilla Leonardo DiCaprio, acompañado por dos pesos pesados como Benicio del Toro y Sean Penn, que aquí firman interpretaciones cargadas de tensión y carisma.La historia sigue a un hombre atrapado en una espiral de violencia y lealtades rotas, obligado a tomar partido en una guerra que no entiende del todo pero que le arrastra sin remedio. Entre alianzas frágiles, traiciones y momentos de gran fuerza visual, la cinta construye un retrato crudo y realista de la supervivencia en tiempos oscuros.Anderson juega con la cámara para hacernos sentir dentro del conflicto, con escenas que alternan la brutalidad más descarnada y la intimidad de sus personajes. Un filme potente, con aroma de clásico moderno, donde el talento interpretativo de DiCaprio, Del Toro y Penn sostiene cada giro de la trama. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 3 ESTRELLAS Min 14: MASPALOMAS: ¿LO MEJOR DE LOS MORIARTY" “Maspalomas†, dirigida por José Mari Goenaga y Aitor Arregi (Moriarti), sigue a Vicente (José Ramón Soroiz), un hombre de 70 y tantos que, tras vivir abiertamente su sexualidad en el paraíso canario de Maspalomas, sufre un revés y regresa a San Sebastián, donde acaba en una residencia. Ese cambio de entorno —y de miradas— le empuja a replantearse lo conquistado y a coquetear con volver al armario, en una historia que aborda la vejez queer con una sensibilidad poco vista en nuestro cine. Junto a Soroiz, destacan Nagore Aranburu, Kandido Uranga, Zorion Eguileor y Kepa Errasti. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 4 estrellas Min 21: YA NO QUEDAN JUNGLAS "Ya no quedan junglas†es el debut como director del reconocido director de fotografía Luis Gabriel Beristáin, que adapta la novela negra Ya no quedan junglas adonde regresar de Carlos Augusto Casas al cine. En clave de thriller urbano, la película sitúa su acción en la Parte Vieja de San Sebastián, donde Ron Perlman interpreta a Theo, alias "el Gentleman", un exmilitar estadounidense envejecido cuya existencia monótona gira en torno a sus encuentros los jueves con Olga, interpretada por Megan Montaner. Cuando Olga aparece brutalmente asesinada, Theo encarna una venganza implacable que trastoca las reglas del orden legal, chocando con la inspectora Iborra (Megan Montaner) y el sicario Herodes (Hovik Keuchkerian) en un entramado moral con capas grises. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 2,5 estrellas Min 25: RELAY “Relay†, dirigida por David Mackenzie y protagonizada por Riz Ahmed y Lily James, narra la historia de Ash, un “fixer†anónimo que actúa como intermediario entre denunciantes y corporaciones corruptas. Usando un sistema de comunicaciones para personas sordas como coartada, Ash acepta el encargo de proteger a Sarah Grant, una científica que posee documentos comprometedores sobre los efectos tóxicos de un cultivo manipulado genéticamente. Pero lo que parecía una operación de entrega controlada se convierte en una espiral de vigilancia, traiciones y dilemas morales, especialmente cuando la identidad de Sarah y su implicación real no son lo que parecían. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 3' 5 estrellas Min 28: EL VENGADOR TÓXICO "El vengador tóxico", dirigida por Macon Blair, recupera con humor gamberro y un punto de nostalgia el espíritu del clásico de culto de los 80 de Lloyd Kaufman. Protagonizada por Peter Dinklage junto a Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Elijah Wood y Kevin Bacon, la película cuenta la transformación de Winston Gooze, un hombre corriente y enfermo terminal que, tras un accidente químico, se convierte en un anti héroe mutante de fuerza descomunal. Armado con un mocho de fregona radiactivo, Winston inicia una cruzada sangrienta y cómica contra una corporación corrupta que amenaza a su familia y a la comunidad. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 1 estrella Min 40: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA: CON ANTONIO RESINES La sección La película de tu vida tiene como protagonista a uno de los grandes nombres de nuestro cine: Antonio Resines. El actor cántabro, rostro imprescindible de la comedia y el drama español, nos desvela el título que ha marcado su amor por el cine.Un viaje cinéfilo en primera persona con la cercanía, el humor y la memoria de un intérprete que ha sido testigo y parte esencial de la historia reciente del cine español. Una colaboración de lujo que convierte este episodio en una cita especial. ¿Será una peli española de las que nutren su filmografía? ¿Será un clásico americano o europeo? Min 44: BSO EL CLUB DEL CRÍMEN DE LOS JUEVES En “Estamos de Cine†dedicamos esta semana un espacio especial a la banda sonora de El crimen de los jueves (Netflix), de la mano de nuestro crítico musical de cabecera, Ángel Luque. Una partitura firmada por Thomas Newman, uno de los grandes compositores de Hollywood, autor de músicas inolvidables como American Beauty, Camino a la perdición o 1917. Analizamos cómo su estilo, lleno de sutilezas y atmósferas emocionales, potencia la intriga y los matices de esta producción española. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 3 estrellas

Con más de cuarenta años de historia, El Vengador Tóxico vuelve con un reboot pero el superhéroe de culto de Troma tiene una curiosa historia que ha dado el salto al cómic, los dibujos animados, el videojuego, el musical y hasta la realidad virtual. El hoy todopoderoso James Gunn forma parte de ella y películas como Deadpool le deben mucho. Lloyd Kaufman y Michael Herz presumen de ser los propietarios de la productora independiente más antigua del mundo, Troma, que pasó de producir y distribuir comedias sexuales a crear un universo lleno de mal gusto, gore y provocación. En 1984 se estrenó la primera entrega de El Vengador Tóxico, una reinvención cafre del superhéroe Marvelita que criticaba el culto al cuerpo y denunciaba la degradación del planeta. Su inesperado éxito, generó tres secuelas y un spin-off: los Toxic Crusaders, una serie animada que buscaba vender juguetes. Hasta Marvel editó sus tebeos con autores tan competentes como Doug Moench o Ann Nocenti, Os invitamos a sumergiros en la extravagante historia del único superhéroe de New Jersey. ¡Viva Toxie!

This week, we're joined by comedian Blake Trevino for a wild ride into the world of Troma. Our main feature is the gonzo, gleefully gross 2023 reboot of The Toxic Avenger, followed by a dive back into Troma history with the chaotic cult classic Troma's War (1988). Along the way, we toast with a perfect thematic pairing: first, a return to Drekker Brewing's Ectogasm—because when the can art looks like it crawled straight out of a Tromaville sewer, you can't pass it up. Then, we cool off with a crisp Krauss Czech Pilsner from Galveston Bay Brewing, our second visit to Galveston Bay. Plenty of Troma talk—schlock, satire, slime, and the surprising staying power of Lloyd Kaufman's DIY empire.

Highlander is a weird franchise. It seemed like a big deal in the 80s. Big enough to warrant a couple of sequels and a TV series that lasted a few seasons. It also has one of the most quotable lines in cinema history. Yet, it is also incredibly underrated. Which makes some sense considering all that came out of that decade. We also talk about directors who have their heads up their asses.Arnold Schwarzenegger – whose credits include Junior and The Expendables 3 – has called Red Sonja the worst film he has ever made. That is a matter of personal opinion, but there is no denying the Brigette Nielsen vehicle is pretty bad. Add in the fact that this adaptation has been languishing in developmental hell for over a decade, and it seems like a huge risk.The 2025 version of Red Sonja manages to work because it knows its audience. It is a straightforward sword and sorcery flick that is sexy enough to play to that audience, but modern enough to not exploit Matilda Lutz. The performances are fantastic and the production looks great. There are some missteps along the way, but it is a very good Red Sonja adaptation.How do you make a re-imagining for The Toxic Avenger? The original idea was to go the family friendly route? But is that what fans really want to see? You also don't want to go the make jokes out of sexually assaulting a blind woman direction either since nobody wants to see that. Is there a middle ground when it comes to Troma?Thankfully, the 2025 version of The Toxic Avenger manages to figure it out. It is crude and disgusting fun that manages to offend without taking thinks too far. Sure, there is a lot of violence, and it definitely will not be for everyone, but fans of the source material will love what they did with the latest installment.

Writer, director, producer, and actor Macon Blair joins us this week to talk about his fascinating career, and his bold new take on a cult classic: the unrated remake of The Toxic Avenger (in theaters August 29).You've seen Macon on screen in films like Blue Ruin, Green Room, Thunder Road, and even Oppenheimer. He also won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize with his directorial debut I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore, starring Melanie Lynskey and Elijah Wood. Now, he's back with a gooey genre shift...reimagining Lloyd Kaufman's radioactive hero for a new generation while honoring the messy, subversive spirit of Troma.We dig into Macon's creative path from Murder Party with Jeremy Saulnier all the way to working with Elijah Wood and Peter Dinklage on this bonkers new Toxie. Along the way, we talk about practical effects (yes, intestines are involved), absurd kills that didn't make the cut, the challenges of redesigning an iconic monster, and why The Toxic Avenger might actually be the perfect antidote to the Marvel-ification of movies.and of course we ask the important question… when can we expect 2oxic 2venger: Toxie vs Dracula vs the Unicorn's Horn in Space?If you love cult cinema, superhero parodies, or just a good old fashioned over the top practical effect, you don't want to miss this conversation sooo...Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage (all socials)Sean: @hypocrite.ink (IG/TikTok), @hypocriteink (Twitter/X)Enjoyed this episode?

When two Daves walk into a podcast, you don't expect to stumble upon a meditation on art, failure, persistence, and horror-comedy. But that's exactly what happened in this electric and delightfully unfiltered conversation with Dave Campfield, a filmmaker, actor, and host of the Troma Now Podcast, best known for his work in the cult Caesar and Otto comedy-horror film series.Dave Campfield is a fiercely independent filmmaker whose journey from a now-defunct film college in New Mexico to directing his own cult horror satires has been a long and winding road paved with hustle, humor, and horror.We start in the sand-colored surrealism of Santa Fe, where adobe buildings and the ghost of City Slickers set the stage for Dave's early filmmaking dreams. In the land of tumbleweeds and tumble-down gym studios turned sound stages, Dave cut his teeth not just on film but on the art of adaptation.The college no longer exists, but the memories—like chalk lines under studio lights—remain vivid in his story. “It was like going to school on Tatooine,” he says, laughing, but behind that joke is a bittersweet nod to the ephemeral.From there, Dave walks us through the illusion of success—early meetings with Universal and New Line Cinema where hopes were dangled like carrots in front of eager young dreamers. The industry, he quickly learned, speaks its own coded language: familiarity, marketability, and sometimes, plain deception. One mentor told him to “say you're young, from the streets, and have a dark comedy,” regardless of truth. Dave gave it a shot but came away with the haunting realization that "they were intrigued enough to keep me on leash, but not enough to make it happen."That experience seeded his first real film, “Dark Chamber,” a mystery-horror project which deliberately bucked slasher formulas. It took five years to make—five years of blood, sweat, and overdrafts. And yet, when the studios responded with, “We wanted something more familiar,” Dave knew he was swimming upstream. Still, he sold the film to a small distributor, endured its repackaging as something it wasn't, and got it onto Netflix. A win—just not the one he envisioned.But here's the heart of it all: Dave didn't stop. He pivoted, not with bitterness, but with evolution. “I decided I wasn't going to be one of those people waiting for opportunity. You had to make it happen on your own.” And so, he leaned into comedy horror—a genre he describes as “Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, but for the splatter generation.” Thus, Caesar and Otto were born: two absurdly lovable doofuses bumbling their way through massacres, monsters, and paranormal mayhem.One of Dave's secret weapons is loyalty to what's real. Whether recounting how Lloyd Kaufman forgot him (then remembered) or editing commercials for the Philadelphia Pet Expo, he keeps a kind of grounded magic about his craft. He shares a deeply personal new project, “Awaken the Reaper,” born from a decade of introspection and struggle, calling it “the most personal thing I've ever written.” He says, “It's about being stuck—feeling like every day you're not moving forward—and finally getting out of your own way.”All along, Dave's been quietly building a reputation for casting future stars before they break—Trey Byers (Empire), Peter Scanavino (Law & Order)—and hosting a podcast that thrives not just because of brand synergy with Troma, but because he genuinely knows how to talk to people. “They've never rejected an episode,” he remarks. “I tease Troma a lot, and they're always game. It's a beautiful collaboration.”The conversation wraps not with grandiosity, but a recognition that even the smallest cult followings can keep a creator going. “My fanbase is small, but intense,” Dave says with pride. “I can rattle them off on two hands.” Maybe that's enough. Maybe that's everything.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

On this week's episode of The Video Store Podcast, I'm recommending four movies. They're all from the 1980s and 1990s and all have some connection to my home state of New Jersey, even if it's a loose one. These aren't big studio classics. They're weirder, smaller, and have built and kept loyal followings for decades.The Toxic Avenger (1984) Made by Troma Entertainment, this is probably their most well known film. It's low budget, violent, and absurd. It was shot mostly in New Jersey, including many areas near where I grew up. The studio itself was co-founded by Lloyd Kaufman, who grew up in NYC but often filmed across the Hudson for budget reasons. The Toxic Avenger became Troma's mascot and eventually got cartoon spin-offs, comics, and a stage musical.The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984)This one is hard to explain in a sentence. Peter Weller plays a neurosurgeon who's also a rock star and physicist. It's sci-fi with a cast that includes Jeff Goldblum, Ellen Barkin, and John Lithgow. The film didn't do well when it came out but has built a steady fanbase over time. While it wasn't filmed in New Jersey, it is rife with Garden State references.Eddie and the Cruisers (1983) This is a fictional band movie that takes itself seriously. It was shot in various New Jersey shore towns. The soundtrack, especially the song “On the Dark Side,” ended up doing better than the film. Led by Michael Paré plays Eddie, the film has a solid cast, but its the music that helped it build an audience. Most of that happened because it became available pretty quickly on HBOClerks (1994)Kevin Smith's first film. Shot in black and white for under $30,000. He filmed it at the Quick Stop convenience store in Leonardo, New Jersey, where he worked at the time. This movie launched his career and started what would be known as the View Askewniverse. It's mostly just two guys talking about things that interest them in intense and funny ways, but it worked. These films offer more than just entertainment. They provide a look back at different moments when movies could be made with local flavor and for these ones, a personal vision. That connection to place and the willingness to work within its constraints created films that continue to matter because they show how stories are shaped by where they come from just as much as who tells them.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

When two Daves walk into a podcast, you don't expect to stumble upon a meditation on art, failure, persistence, and horror-comedy. But that's exactly what happened in this electric and delightfully unfiltered conversation with Dave Campfield, a filmmaker, actor, and host of the Troma Now Podcast, best known for his work in the cult Caesar and Otto comedy-horror film series.Dave Campfield is a fiercely independent filmmaker whose journey from a now-defunct film college in New Mexico to directing his own cult horror satires has been a long and winding road paved with hustle, humor, and horror.We start in the sand-colored surrealism of Santa Fe, where adobe buildings and the ghost of City Slickers set the stage for Dave's early filmmaking dreams. In the land of tumbleweeds and tumble-down gym studios turned sound stages, Dave cut his teeth not just on film but on the art of adaptation.The college no longer exists, but the memories—like chalk lines under studio lights—remain vivid in his story. “It was like going to school on Tatooine,” he says, laughing, but behind that joke is a bittersweet nod to the ephemeral.From there, Dave walks us through the illusion of success—early meetings with Universal and New Line Cinema where hopes were dangled like carrots in front of eager young dreamers. The industry, he quickly learned, speaks its own coded language: familiarity, marketability, and sometimes, plain deception. One mentor told him to “say you're young, from the streets, and have a dark comedy,” regardless of truth. Dave gave it a shot but came away with the haunting realization that "they were intrigued enough to keep me on leash, but not enough to make it happen."That experience seeded his first real film, “Dark Chamber,” a mystery-horror project which deliberately bucked slasher formulas. It took five years to make—five years of blood, sweat, and overdrafts. And yet, when the studios responded with, “We wanted something more familiar,” Dave knew he was swimming upstream. Still, he sold the film to a small distributor, endured its repackaging as something it wasn't, and got it onto Netflix. A win—just not the one he envisioned.But here's the heart of it all: Dave didn't stop. He pivoted, not with bitterness, but with evolution. “I decided I wasn't going to be one of those people waiting for opportunity. You had to make it happen on your own.” And so, he leaned into comedy horror—a genre he describes as “Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, but for the splatter generation.” Thus, Caesar and Otto were born: two absurdly lovable doofuses bumbling their way through massacres, monsters, and paranormal mayhem.One of Dave's secret weapons is loyalty to what's real. Whether recounting how Lloyd Kaufman forgot him (then remembered) or editing commercials for the Philadelphia Pet Expo, he keeps a kind of grounded magic about his craft. He shares a deeply personal new project, “Awaken the Reaper,” born from a decade of introspection and struggle, calling it “the most personal thing I've ever written.” He says, “It's about being stuck—feeling like every day you're not moving forward—and finally getting out of your own way.”All along, Dave's been quietly building a reputation for casting future stars before they break—Trey Byers (Empire), Peter Scanavino (Law & Order)—and hosting a podcast that thrives not just because of brand synergy with Troma, but because he genuinely knows how to talk to people. “They've never rejected an episode,” he remarks. “I tease Troma a lot, and they're always game. It's a beautiful collaboration.”The conversation wraps not with grandiosity, but a recognition that even the smallest cult followings can keep a creator going. “My fanbase is small, but intense,” Dave says with pride. “I can rattle them off on two hands.” Maybe that's enough. Maybe that's everything.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

You're Listening to Parallax Views https://parallaxviews.podbean.com/ Support the Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/parallaxviews On this edition of Parallax Views, it's Valentine's Day Parallax Views special! And to celebrate the J.G. decided to dig up an interview that was previously unreleased related to holiday. In 1981, George Mihalka's Canadian slasher My Bloody Valentine hit theaters. In the years since it has become a cult classic, enough so, in fact, to get a Hollywood remake in 2009 directed by Wes Craven protege Patrick Lussier & starring heartthrob Jensen Ackles from the hit TV show Supernatural. The original movie, in which a town known as Valentine Bluffs experiences a series of murders seemingly committed by a vengeful, deranged miner known as Harry Warden, has never received a proper sequel. Fans of the movie, however, came together to get a professionally done, feature-length fan sequel. It's called Valentine Bluffs: A My Bloody Valentine Fan Film and even features a guest starring performance from Troma's Lloyd Kaufman as the Mayor of Valentine Bluffs. It features all the bloody mayhem one would expect from a sequel to My Bloody Valentine, and, best of all for fans of 80s horror, features lovingly made practical effects rather than CGI. In this previously unreleased interview, I speak with director and special effects artist Tom Smith and lead actress Rachel Keefe about Valentine Bluffs: A My Bloody Valentine Fan Film in-depth! You can view the fan film for free on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIIOv49awUU. Near the end of the conversation Rachel talks about her upcoming role in Joe Lam's horror movie The Fetus. As it turns out, The Fetus is set to be released next month, March 2025, and, in addition to Rachel Keefe, stars Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3's Lauren LaVera as well as genre stalwart Bill Moseley from Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, and Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre! All that and more on this edition of Parallax Views!
