The story so far: Three friends are trapped in an underground movie rental store managed by a magical anthropomorphic mole man, have adventures, and watch movies to pass the time and figure ways out of predicaments.While Eric is off on a journey of reflection and relaxation, Greg worries that the underground could be filled with more monstrous creatures like Moleman! To help ease our minds and get ready for potential monster attacks, we check out the Frogman monster flick from 1980, Rana: The Legend of Shadow Lake, directed by Blood Harvest's own Bill Rebane! While discussing the similarities of the two films, we dive into life's real existential questions: Do frogs have bones? Can chickens swim? Does Bigfoot have a tickle kink? And are aliens cryptids?

Troma founder Lloyd Kaufman returns to drop a lot of names and talk to the boys about his new book (kinda), Hands Across Tromerica, whether or not that really is him in the trailer for the new “Superman” movie, the“Toxic Avenger” re-make and, for some reason, the tragic death of Jayne Mansfield.

Lloyd Kaufman, the legendary co-founder of Troma Entertainment and the mastermind behind The Toxic Avenger, has spent decades pushing the boundaries of independent filmmaking. In this exclusive interview, we dive deep into his fearless approach to cinema, the DIY spirit of Troma, and his unfiltered thoughts on the future of indie films. From cult classics to Hollywood resistance, Kaufman has seen it all—and he's got a lot to say.Special thanks to Linda R Wolfe for making this happen.
PUBLIC VERSION. Acclaimed filmmaker Alex Ross Perry (LISTEN UP PHILLIP, HER SMELL, CHRISTOPHER ROBIN) joins Adam and Joe to discuss his new video essay “Videoheaven” and his massive concert film GHOST: RITE HERE RITE NOW. From reminiscing about video stores… to a mutual appreciation for TROMA and school lunches… to the process behind creating three distinctive, non-linear projects… to spending well over a decade on his most personal passion project about the rise and fall of video stores… to intimately working with the enormously popular pop-metal band GHOST… to his new documentary/concert film PAVEMENTS (in theaters later this year)… this Altman-esque conversation (filled with classic MOVIE CRYPT diatribes and asides) shows just how much Alex is an ever evolving artist that is satisfying his many interests in an industry that typically just wants to box you up like a VHS clamshell.
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!
We take a look at the 1995 Troma film, FROSTBITER: WRATH OF THE WENDIGO.
We are back after a six (!) month abscence, but we actually have good reasons for it for once. After bemoaning our new tech issues, we talk about big life changes, including Brad moving and subsequently becoming a "thrifting" guy and Sean becoming a chef roaming the wastes of the midwest. We also discuss a bunch of other topics including the cleaning advice subreddit, Brad making a bird wall, the geography of Michigan, Diablo 4, Cherry Falls and Brittney Murphy's special request, the movie The Kiss, Troma stuff, innocuous horror movie lines, who is the dorkiest quarterback, Sean does Hooptober, the movie The Bees, the Subspecies series, cool lady Wynter gets a special shirt for John Carpenter, who is the podcast's favorite murderer, John Carpenter and Kurt Russell commentaries, noted maniac John Milius, some cassettes and Larry Wish talk, Bo Knows Bo, Jurassic Park: the book, is Watership Down sci-fi, Sean's concert rundown, seeing Goblin in concert with Claudio Simonetti's daughter doing interpretive dance, the Taco Bell discontinued items menu returns, further investigation into Taco Bell's insane food graveyard, a controversial Burger King opinion, Sean gets got by engagement bait posting about grilled stuffed burritos, and a certain special dog (not that one, but also that one). Hell of an episode right here. It is good to be back. Website: www.queenvenerator.com Bluesky: @queenvenerator.bsky.social

AEW Dynamite brought the madness from Huntsville, and The AEW-some Pod is here to sift through the wreckage! Your co-hosts Johnny Taylor (The Hard Times, Tubi), Diana Prince (The Last Drive-In), and Gringo Fantastico (Disasterpiece Theater on Troma) are back with their signature wit, sarcasm, and total disregard for playing nice. Will Ospreay and Brian Cage delivered a banger, but the Don Callis Family turned it into a mugging. Jeff Jarrett made the fatal mistake of declining MJF's offer, which ended with his face eating a Dynamite Diamond Ring. Ricochet and AR Fox put on an aerial clinic—before Swerve Strickland made it deeply personal. Jay White and Wheeler Yuta went to war, and Kenny Omega found himself caught between a chair, a hard place, and Kyle Fletcher's loyalty. Meanwhile, Mariah May torched Toni Storm with words sharper than any blade, and Mercedes Moné proved why she's still the boss against Yuka Sakazaki. Who was the heel of the week? Who stole the show? And how many times can one episode of Dynamite descend into absolute bedlam? Tune in as Johnny, Diana, and Gringo break it all down with their signature mix of insight, sarcasm, and possibly an f-bomb or two. Listen now—because it's Wednesday night, and you know what that means!

Give that Joe guy a raise! Everything else though.... Fanatic, released in 1982 and later distributed by Troma under the title The Last Horror Film, is an ambitious yet confused attempt at blending psychological thriller, horror, satire, and social commentary. Directed by David Winters, the film follows Vinny Durand (Joe Spinell), a socially awkward taxi driver in New York who dreams of becoming a Hollywood filmmaker. Vinny's obsession with horror star Jana Bates (Caroline Munro) takes a dark turn when he follows her to the Cannes Film Festival, believing he can convince her to star in his debut film. Soon, people connected to Jana begin to disappear, leaving the audience to wonder if Vinny's fantasies have turned murderous. On the surface, Fanatic has all the trappings of a Taxi Driver knockoff, with Spinell's Vinny bearing eerie similarities to De Niro's Travis Bickle: a lonely man whose delusions of grandeur lead to a disturbing descent into obsession. However, where Taxi Driver offers a focused character study and searing critique of urban decay, Fanatic meanders between tones, never quite deciding what it wants to be. Is it a darkly comedic jab at the absurdity of the film industry, with its over-the-top Cannes sequences and caricatured players? A horror film dissecting the dangers of unchecked fandom? Or a social critique of anti-horror activists and censorship? The movie flirts with all these ideas but fails to commit to any, leaving the audience in a muddled state of uncertainty. There's undeniable charm in its chaotic ambition, but the result is a mishmash of clashing themes and tonal inconsistencies. What Fanatic does have, however, is Joe Spinell. His performance is nothing short of extraordinary, especially given the film's modest budget. Spinell imbues Vinny with a mix of vulnerability, creepiness, and manic energy that is utterly captivating. His ability to oscillate between pitiable and menacing elevates the film far beyond what one might expect from a low-budget production, especially one released by Troma. Spinell's portrayal is a masterclass in character work, showing what can be achieved even in a film with clear limitations. Despite its flaws, Fanatic has its moments of intrigue and campy fun. The Cannes backdrop offers a unique setting for a horror film, and there's an undeniable novelty in watching Spinell and Munro share the screen again after Maniac. But for all its ambition, Fanatic ultimately bites off more than it can chew. It's a film that tries to be everything and ends up being little more than a curiosity piece—worth watching for Spinell's mesmerizing performance, but a frustrating experience for those hoping for cohesion or a clear narrative purpose.
Happy New Season as The Spoiler Room Crew Gather for "Horrifically Musical" Month. We look at the 1993 Troma released horror comedy musical from the guys who would later unleash South Park on to the world. We talk about how "Cannibal The Musical" felt like a bit a testing ground for South Park while standing on its own as a wild and crazy movie. We may wander off the path a bit but we do not start eating each other...or do we?

Awesomely Bad The Toxic Avenger [1984]: Episode 327 Start of the new year the right way. That is right, Rock Video is back with Awesomely Bad movie month! Things kick off with a Troma film from the 80's The Toxic Avenger. #TheToxicAvenger #AwesomelyBad #MovieReview
Please consider episode 236 to be our late Christmas present to you all! We are looking at two recent films from director Ryan Kruger, starting off with Fried Barry from 2020. This is such a trippy, insane and full-tilt experience that it might leave you scratching your head the first time you watch it. This isn't a bad thing since it only gets better each time you watch it! We follow that up with 2024's Street Trash, which is a sequel to the 1987 film of the same name. Though it has moments where it seems like it's trying to make a point about corporations and society, it's really just a really fun Troma-inspired movie with some great splattery effects, and some genuinely hilarious comedy.

What's up, Rotters! This week, I'm joined by two of my favourite guests Joe La Scola and Sean O'Rourke aka Movie Dumpster to discuss the TROMA trashterpice GIRLS SCHOOL SCREAMERS (1986) Although not originally a TROMA produced movie, once Lloyd and the gang got their hands on it, they made sure to add some unmistakable TROMA touches such as worms, meat hooks and swamp creatures. Do they belong in this movie? Absolutely not. Do they improve this movie? Absolutely. Toodles! ————

You simply need to grab a copy of the film or load it up on Tubi (you may need alcohol), and sync up the podcast audio with the film. We will tell you when to press and you follow along, it is that easy! Because we have watched the films on Tubi, it is a free service and there are ads, however we will give a warning when it comes up, so you can pause the film and provide time stamps to keep in sync.Highlights include:* Sadly no Kollin this week, we blame Sherry Lou Lou ...* The podcast now has a President in Louise, what are we in for?* This Nightbeast alien looks like a lot of different things!* This cop dude's hair gets more curly and more grey in every scene!* Is Drago or the alien the villain?* What is going on?!* No seriously, what is this movie?* Plus much, much more!Check out The Super Network on Patreon to gain early access to The Tubi Tuesdays Podcast!DISCLAIMER: This audio commentary isn't meant to be taken seriously, it is just a humourous look at a film.

As we enter the home stretch of 1984, we have a some great (and terrible) movies remaining on the schedule and will do all we can to make sure we hit them all. Enjoy the podcast and...

Straddling the line between outsider artist and full fledged Hollywood sellout, Will Janowitz has always found solace working both sides of the industry. With work ranging from Troma films to Ang Lee's “Taking Woodstock” to “The Sopranos,” he's made a career of always doing the unpredictable. This year two films he produced, and one he wrote, will make their festival run; “Bang Bang” starring Tim Blake Nelson and the later, “Train Dreams,” starring Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones directed by Clint Bently. On this episode he talks about his improvisational sweet spot and how it rests in the heart of danger and risk, brings us back to his beginnings at UNCSA and the reasons why that school didn't work so well for him, charts his own journey discovering his way into the craft, tells some hilarious and relatable audition stories, plus an eye opening one from the other side of the table, and much more. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft. Follow Back To One on Instagram
