In this episode of the show we are beginning a brand-new monthly retrospective and this time we are setting our sights on one Stuart Gordon and his debut feature Re-Animator. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Stuart Gordon's beginnings, how his debut draws from exploitation cinema and how it anchors itself in literary connections to H.P. Lovecraft and Mary Shelley. We also talk about Gordon's splatter horror and its place between Italian masters, Troma, Roger Corman and Hammer Horror, the film's own self-awareness and playfulness and much more!Tune in and enjoy!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsIntro: Infraction - CassetteOutro: Infraction - DaydreamHead over to uncutgemspodcast.com to find all of our archival episodes and more!Follow us on Twitter (@UncutGemsPod), IG (@UncutGemsPod) and Facebook (@UncutGemsPod)Buy us a coffee over at Ko-Fi.com (ko-fi.com/uncutgemspod)Subscribe to our Patreon!

Vimos The Toxic Avenger (2023) de macon Blair.Y como si todo eso fuera poco, hablamos de la historia de Troma y nos pusimos personales. Trigger warning (?)Ahora vos podrías ponerte personal y entrar en hoytrasnoche.com, fijate.
This week, we're plunging headfirst into the glorious trash bin of '80s independent horror with a double dose of cinematic absurdity: Troma's cult classic The Toxic Avenger (1984) and the wild, cannibalistic horror comedy Blood Diner (1987). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Finalizamos nuestro repaso a la trayectoria del superhéroe de Troma con nuestra opinión y análisis de la cinta de Macon Blair con estrellas como Peter Dinklage, Elijah Wood y Kevin Bacon. Este remake/reboot de la mítica cinta de los años 80 ha tenido un desarrollo complejo y una distribución difícil y es una película que no acaba de encajar en el panorama cinematográfico. Inluso llegó a haber un proyecto de secuela a la española, ¡os lo contamos! Pero ¿merece la pena? ¿Está a la altura de la irreverencia de Lloyd Kaufman? ¿Hay posibilidades de una continuidad? Sea lo que sea, dadle una oportunidad a este tipo de cine tan necesario. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals
This week we're thrilled to be joined by underground horror icon Debbie Rochon! Debbie has been in dozens of classic B-movies from Troma, Full Moon and everyone in between. We talk to Debbie about her experience coming up in the industry, recognizing the talent of a young James Gunn in TROMEO & JULIET, and of course all about her experience working with Full Moon. She's every bit as awesome as you'd hope, and we're psyched to have gotten to chat with her!

Halten wir es diesmal kurz und knapp: Der September war da und hat bei Antje und Thilo Einiges an Eindruck hinterlassen. In der neuesten Folge von EINE STUNDE HORROR sprechen die beiden über CONJURING 4, THE LONG WALK, das Remake von THE TOXIC AVENGER und über den Indie-Horrorfilm CANNIBAL MUKBANG. Die Eindrücke sind gemischt - nicht nur beim Blick auf die Filme, sondern auch auf die Welt.
During our Weapons special edition we discussed a possible sequel. It turns out we were not far off the mark. We are surprisingly uninterested, but we think we may have a good reason. We also talk about an interesting option for those you enjoy doing 31 Days of Halloween.The 1980s were arguably the Golden Era of cheesy B-horror movies. There was so much good stuff to come out of the decade. Many of these straight to video offerings became cult classics and shaped the future horror community. By the time the 1990s rolled around it seemed like there was nothing new to add.Blood Hook from 1986 is a great example. Slashers were still all the rage, and this movie includes many familiar tropes. But its killer is completely unique. The villain is a fisherman. Not a guy wearing a mask and carrying a hook. A straight up fisher with a hook, line, and sinker. And yes, he does reel in his victims.When we talked about the trailer for Night of the Reaper last week we were impressed. We were not quite sure what the movie was about, but it had an aesthetic that appealed to us. It looked like a throwback to 80s slashers, which is exactly how it starts. It is one of the best openings we have seen all year.Unfortunately, everything goes off the rails from there. The story goes in odd directions, working with two different plots. This ends up watering both down and makes for a very tedious watch. It feels like two separate movies were forced together. It all culminates in a twisty ending that is nonsensical and frustrating to watch. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

Nå er den endelig her! Filmen som var umulig å distribuere har funnet veien til kinoer over hele verden, inkludert lille Norge, takket være Another World Entertainment! Remaken av kanskje verdens beste B-film, The Toxic Avenger er ute i ny drakt med et astronomisk budsjett til en Troma-film å være. Men det store spørsmålet vi alle stiller oss: Klarer den å nå originalen fra 1984 til knærne? Kun en norsk podcast har svaret!

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!

Ned suddenly decides that he'd like to travel the eight miles back to his own home by simply swimming across every pool in town."If you're reading this I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

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.
Matt L Anderson, filmmaker and founder of #key13films talks about his many works and upcoming projects. This is a #FUN conversation with a a cool filmmaker.

Bad movies...we've all seen them, be it on late-night TV or as part of a midnight screening or maybe even being riffed on by the guys from Mystery Science Theater 3000 but, why are we drawn to them, what makes some of them cult-favorites and why do we watch them over and over again? Is it purely out of morbid curiosity? Is it simply to make fun of them or is it that these movies serve as an example of how NOT to make a movie? All these questions (and many more) "might" be answered tonight as we, along with long-time friend of the show, Josh Dahlin, talk all about bad movies. Also, Josh tells us all about his upcoming DARK ARTS FESTIVAL!!!

Born in 1984 from the demented minds at Troma Entertainment, The Toxic Avenger was part parody superhero, part splatter comedy, and all gross-out rebellion. What began as a cheap exploitation gag — a mop-wielding mutant janitor fighting crime in Tromaville — somehow spawned three sequels, a Saturday morning cartoon, comic books, action figures, and now, decades later, a big-budget remake.Across four films — The Toxic Avenger (1984), Part II and Part III in 1989, and Citizen Toxie in 2000 — we'll trace how this franchise evolved from grindhouse trash to meta-satire, all while swimming in buckets of slime, gore, and politically incorrect humor.These aren't polished Hollywood blockbusters. They're outrageous, juvenile, and often disgusting — but they've endured because they tap into something deeper: our culture's weird love affair with the gross, the transgressive, and the so-bad-it's-good.Tonight on Long Road to Ruin, it's time to talk cult cinema, Troma style — this is the rise, fall, and mutation of The Toxic Avenger.”Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59
Director, writer, and actor Macon Blair has been making movies with friends since he was young -- including frequent collaborator Jeremy Saulnier. His new film is THE TOXIC AVENGER, starring Peter Dinklage and Kevin Bacon. It might not feel like an obvious follow-up to his work with Saulnier, nor to Blair's previous film, I DON'T FEEL AT HOME IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE; neither might seem like a direct descendent of Macon's "feeling seen" choice, DAZED AND CONFUSED. But as Jordan will uncover during this conversation, the through-lines are there. They always are.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about this year's BIG BAD FILM FEST. Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen? Keep up with the show on Instagram and Bluesky.

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?
