Well, the Film School Janitors did it. They accomplished something they normally don't - they finished covering an entire collected work spanning decades! (Insert joke about them not finishing the NCU run yet! - not to be confused with the "MCU"...) With THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED (filmed in 2023 and released in 2025), they have consumed all things "Toxie", and does that make them experts? If they remembered everything, it would! So sit back, relax, grab a Tide Pod to chew on, and listen to what the Janitors think about this (final?) (latest?) entry to THE TOXIC AVENGER-VERSE! (Not to be confused with anything Marvel.)
This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; we are back all back together in the studio again; to bring in all the Latest News! Kicking things off with quite a few MOTU Toy Headlines; branching all sub-categories of the brand - including a Playset! Neca continue to flip through the pages of the Mirage Comics, & questionably bring us Figures from those stories. Playmates announce a 2pk with BLOOD attributes!! As well as a potential Lawsuit to protect their work....? McFarlane continue to produce Batman products & Transformers Missing Link announce a unique offering in the form of G1 Ironhide & Ratchet. Trent gets super nostalgic over Goof-Troop; plus we have more Fighters announced from Jada & McFarlane too. Rounding out the News is a beautiful nod to the influential man that was Jack Kirby; in the form of a street named after him! Then we have a very close in-hand review of the amazingly intricate HeatBoys TMNT Figures. These Figures are absolutely extraordinary; with their Die-Cast designed Mech-Suits. They are honestly like nothing we have seen in the TMNT franchise before!! All this & more! Enjoy!!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In 2025, New Jersey's favorite hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength returned — twice. Writer/director Macon Blair's big-budget reimagining, The Toxic Avenger (2023), finally received a wide theatrical release in August 2025. Peter Dinklage voices Winston, a terminally ill janitor at a corrupt pharmaceutical company who falls into a vat of toxic chemicals and emerges as Toxie — a mop-wielding mutant vigilante. Kevin Bacon stars as the company's scheming CEO and Elijah Wood as his security-minded brother, in a film that wraps its splatter comedy around themes of healthcare, corporate greed, and unlikely heroism.Also in 2025, Troma's own Andrew L. Miller and Adam Peltier reconstructed The Toxic Avenger Part II (1989) and Part III (1989) into the single film they were always meant to be. Titled Mr. Melvin, the 127-minute cut restores the narrative logic Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz originally intended — following Toxie's post-heroic depression, a manipulated journey to Japan, and a Faustian deal with Apocalypse Inc. that turns him into a corporate sellout before the ultimate confrontation with the Devil himself.Mike talks with Rob St. Mary about both films, and the episode includes interviews with Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman and Mr. Melvin co-producer and co-editor Andrew L. Miller.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Ben is still recovering so the three Musketeers are at it again.

For those old enough to be big Troma fans, The Toxic Avenger undoubtedly holds a special place in their hearts. When the remake was released in 2023 those hearts ceased to by mutated by radioactive sludge, instead slathered in the thick, inescapable goo of nostalgia. It comes for us all, my friends. But honestly, this remake was pretty good. Peter Dinklage mops it out of the park as Winston/the voice of Toxie, serving up plenty of slapstick gore. But like most films, it ain't perfect, and we have fun developing our own mutations of the script.
This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; we board the Hype Train - as we take a look at all the latest News! Neca with another Sesame Street Figure - this round Big Bird! Then a tease from Neca regarding the upcoming Muppets Toyline. But will they potentially live up to the Palisades offerings from 20+ years ago? Hasbro tease New Collaborations from both Voltron & Street Fighter. Both these franchise have Movies on the way - what can we expect? The Emperor is cashing in on Ben's Wallet - as a Foreign Micronauts figure is teased from Super7. Superman from Mondo - is just OUTSTANDING. But so is the Mondo Man-At-Arms too! Then we continue the MOTU chat as we breakdown the Movie Toy Announcements thus far! Both the Chronicles offerings plus the basic 5inch line too. Then we switch gears & chat towards the Excitement of what is being announced on the Big Screen. 2026 Hit or Shit of Cinema.

There is some great, weird and just plain crazy news to talk through today. Have Hot Toys jumped the shark? Is Ben about to drop $1500 on a Soundwave? More Mondo, more Blokees and of course, More Todd. Franks TMNT collection lacks a life size element - could this change soon? Then we compare the newly released Origins Fright Zone with the vintage one - which in itself gives Scot the fright of his life!

In honor of 420, its time to look at some of the weirdest, and wackiest toys ever designed. You really have to wonder, what were they on when coming up with some of this stuff. From poorly thought out labels to accidental nightmare fuel, child endangerment and even a pre-cursor to Siri - combined with, water? Then it's another edition of The Team from the wonderful world of TMNT - but ONLY the Turtle variants. And the choices are not as simple as you might think!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we are still sending 'Get Well' Cards to Trent, as he unfortunately misses this ep. But that won't slow us down; as Scot has a fantastic rundown on the Greatest Star Wars Movie - that never was! Yes - the infamous 'Shadows Of The Empire!' Famously worked into 'cannon' between the Original Films of: Empire Strikes Back & Return Of The Jedi. This wasn't just a Story or a Comicbook series - this was a Multimedia Project that also spanned into a Soundtrack, Video Games and of course a self-titled line of Toys! Was, or is this, the biggest Movie that never was?! Then keeping in the same similar theme of Movies; we transform into another round of The Team! With this round focusing on the Autobots that where released in 1986 (The Movie Year). This was a lot of fun! But we would love to hear some future ideas for The Team Comp - as we are starting to run out of ideas! Thanks, and as always - Enjoy!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Toxie is back. This week we're talking about the new 2025 (or 2023 depending on who you're talking to) reboot of The Toxic Avenger. A movie that is a little embarrassed to be what is, has great performances that are all the same performance, obligatory nudity, and we debate what the invisible clothes joke is referencing.
Get the kid and the bike because we're heading to The Mexican Place to check out Troma Entertainment's crown jewel: The Toxic Avenger (1984). Just in time to celebrate the release of Macon Blair's remake, too!Join us as we offer a primer on all things Toxie before diving into this ridiculously silly (and charming!) little film. The Toxic Avenger feels like a live-action cartoon that's been dumped in a vat of extremely transgressive toxic waste, and it all (mostly) works!Plus: an unexpected gang of queers, masturbating to photos of dead children, "Body Talk", and swapping out human heads for cantaloupes.CW: Dog death, child death, attempted sexual assault and the use of many, many slurs.
