Movie of the Year: 2006Slither The Slither Podcast Brings Body Horror to the 2006 BracketThe Slither podcast episode unleashes the first true horror movie on our Movie of the Year 2006 bracket. After opening the season with Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story, the Taste Buds trade metafiction for meteorites. Consequently, things get slimy fast. Ryan, Mike, and Greg welcome producer and festival programmer Drea Clark to dig into James Gunn's gleefully gross directorial debut. Together, the panel asks whether a movie full of alien slugs deserves a deep run in the bracket. Above all, they ask whether Slither has more on its mind than exploding deer and tentacled husbands.About the FilmSlither is a 2006 science fiction horror comedy written and directed by James Gunn. A meteorite crashes outside the small town of Wheelsy, South Carolina, carrying an alien parasite. The parasite infects wealthy local Grant Grant, played with squirming brilliance by Michael Rooker. Soon, Grant transforms into a tentacled monster, and slug-like creatures spread through the town. Meanwhile, police chief Bill Pardy (Nathan Fillion) and Grant's wife Starla (Elizabeth Banks) try to stop the invasion.Universal released the film on March 31, 2006. Notably, it flopped at the box office, grossing under $13 million against a $15 million budget. However, critics largely embraced it. Roger Ebert praised its Troma-loving spirit in his RogerEbert.com review, and the film became a cult favorite on home video. In addition, it launched the directing career that eventually gave us Guardians of the Galaxy and the new DC Universe.Guest Panelist: Drea ClarkThis week the Taste Buds welcome Drea Clark, a true film industry polymath. Drea co-hosts Maximum Film! on the Maximum Fun network, the long-running movie podcast she shares with film critic Alonso Duralde. Furthermore, her credentials behind the scenes run deep. She has served on the Sundance Film Festival programming team, led narrative feature programming at Slamdance for over a decade, spent ten years with the LA Film Festival, and curated Geena Davis's Bentonville Film Festival. As a producer, her features include The Last Time You Had Fun, Lake Los Angeles, and No Light and No Land Anywhere, the latter executive produced by Miranda July. In short, few guests are better equipped to judge a scrappy genre debut from a first time director.James Gunn as a First-Time FilmmakerBefore Slither, James Gunn was a writer with a strange resume. He cut his teeth at Troma on Tromeo and Juliet, then wrote the live action Scooby-Doo movies and the 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake. Consequently, Slither arrived as his first chance to direct his own material. The panel debates what the film reveals about Gunn as a filmmaker. Specifically, they trace the DNA that later shows up in Guardians of the Galaxy, The Suicide Squad, and Superman. The needle drops, the found family of misfits, and the sincere heart under the gross-out gags all start here. Moreover, Drea brings a programmer's eye to the question of how debut features signal a career to come.Sex and Violence on the Slither 2006 PodcastSlither earns its R rating with enthusiasm. The Taste Buds tackle how the film weaponizes both sex and violence, often in the same scene. Grant's infection plays like a grotesque infidelity story, and the alien's reproductive plans push body horror into genuinely uncomfortable territory. However, the violence stays cartoonish enough to keep the comedy alive. The panel asks where Gunn draws that line, and whether the bathtub scene, the barn scene, and that infamous bursting body still shock today. Ultimately, the conversation lands on a bigger question. Does the film use its excess for a purpose, or is the excess the point?Is Slither an Allegory?Every great monster movie smuggles in a meaning, or so the theory goes. Therefore, the panel puts Slither on the couch. Is the film an allegory for toxic marriage, with Grant's transformation literalizing a controlling husband? Is it about small town conformity, as a hive mind absorbs an entire community? By contrast, maybe Gunn simply loves slugs and explosions, and the search for subtext misses the joke. Drea, Ryan, Mike, and Greg each stake out a position. Nevertheless, the debate keeps circling back to Starla, whose arc gives the film its surprising emotional weight.TriviaNo Movie of the Year episode is complete without Trivia. This week's round digs into Slither's production and its B-movie family tree. Expect questions about the practical effects, the casting, and the film's connections to Troma legend Lloyd Kaufman, who cameos in the movie. Additionally, the segment tests whether the panel can untangle Slither from the movies it lovingly rips off, including Night of the Creeps and Shivers. Play along and see if you can outscore the Taste Buds.Dream Blunt RotationNew season, new games. In Dream Blunt Rotation, the panel assembles the ultimate smoke circle from the world of Slither. Which characters make the cut, and which get left outside the garage? Mayor Jack MacReady seems like a chaotic invite, while Bill Pardy might be the chillest hang in Wheelsy. Meanwhile, the conversation drifts toward the cast and crew themselves. Listen to find out who earns a spot in the rotation and whose vibes get vetoed.Awards and RecommendationsThe episode closes with Awards and Recommendations, the segment where the Taste Buds hand out honors to the film's cast, crew, and creatures. Nominees this week range from Michael Rooker's fearless physical performance to the effects team behind the slugs. As a result, expect passionate cases and at least one baffling pick. The winners stay a surprise, so you will have to listen for the results. Afterward, the panel shares recommendations for what to watch next if Slither leaves you hungry for more horror comedy.Why Slither Still MattersTwenty years later, Slither looks like a turning point hiding in plain sight. It kept practical creature effects alive at a moment when Hollywood was abandoning them. Furthermore, it proved that horror comedy could carry real emotion, a balance Gunn has chased ever since. The film's box office failure also tells a story about 2006 itself, a year when audiences ignored a future superstar director. In practice, the Slither podcast episode asks the question this whole season exists to answer. Does cult status and influence make a movie a contender for the best film of 2006? Listen and judge for yourself.Related Episodes from Movie of the Year: 2006Movie of the Year: 2006 — Intro, Part 1Movies of 2006: The Bracket RevealTristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull StoryAll Movie of the Year episodesFAQ: Slither Podcast and FilmWhat is this episode of the Slither podcast about?Ryan, Mike, and Greg debate whether James Gunn's Slither deserves to advance in the Movie of the Year 2006 bracket.

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.

The end of the school year is closing in so we're headed back to Tromaville High for another round of toxic tomfoolery with CLASS OF NUKE EM HIGH 2: SUBHUMANOID MELTDOWN (1991). An obvious favorite in the Kelly household, this excursion finds a himbo reporter falling in love with a science experiment and the entire school battling it out with a squirrel kaiju - seriously! You know we love Troma round these parts, and this week isn't some sort of turnaround on that sentiment. Let's get slimy!

The second half of Jay Burleson's THIRD SATURDAY IN OCTOBER duology is here! It's also the first movie in the franchise! Let's hear it for out-of-order storytelling!This movie's better than PART V. Where the latter specializes in Troma-style camp and gore effects, this movie's got a stronger sense of atmosphere and foreboding, as it borrows more from '70s horror flicks like THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE. The death-row-inmate Jakkariah Harding is freshly barbecued via electric chair and pissed the fuck off, hunting the parents of his latest victims. But as slashers do, he'll just nab any-and-everybody he finds cause I guess he's going for a killstreak, 30 years before CALL OF DUTY went modern.I've yet to mention Kelvin Wooten's (also known as Wu10) score. It's one of my all-time favorite horror scores, resemblent of the haunting, ominous sounds of Halloween, perfect for driving slowly down a sleepy hometown road. In the dark, with this music on, you'll swear you can spot any creep behind a cloud of fog. Its blend of synths, jazz, funk and orchestral tinges give this a flavor that you can simultaneously vibe, dance and recoil to. Put this on at your next Halloween party; it's just gonna slap.And then "Meow Meow Meow Meow" will kick on. Hehehehehe. I love a franchise that loves cats.SURPRISE! I'm not quite done with THE THIRD SATURDAY IN OCTOBER movies because on the next episode of The Movies, Jay Burleson comes onto the show to talk about his slasher combo masterpiece, as well as his new film, KENNELED, which is now available to stream on Screambox.

Filmmaker Lloyd Kaufman railed against Hollywood his whole career as the founder of cult B-movie production house, Troma, while his daughter Lily-Hayes dreamt only of fitting in. Lloyd Kaufman has been the father of anti-establishment filmmaking for over 50 years. His production company Troma Entertainment is known for its gory, controversial and politically-charged movies. His daughter Lily-Hayes grew up on the sets of these bizarre and often quite gruesome Troma films, such as Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead. She had her first on-screen role at the age of 4 in one of Troma's biggest hits – the 1984 horror-comedy The Toxic Avenger – a film about a nerd who turns into a mutant superhero after falling into a vat of nuclear waste. But the chaos of the films was not mirrored at home in New York; Lily-Hayes and her sisters went to an Upper East Side all-girls private school, sweets were strictly rationed, and life was kept in order.When it came time for Lily-Hayes to pick her own career path, she wanted to push back against her father's anti-establishment line of work. But how could she rebel against the ultimate rebel? Well, she went into investment banking and forged a ‘normal' life on the trading floor. One day she witnessed a colleague take part in a chicken nugget eating contest. It was a sight that would rival even the grossest scenes she'd witnessed on a Troma set and it pushed her back towards the call of the Tromaverse.Presenter: Asya Fouks Producer: Andrea RangecroftLives Less Ordinary is a podcast from the BBC World Service that brings you the most incredible true stories from around the world.

You all knew I was going to have to cover a Troma film eventually, and honestly this is one of their more famous movies so it's a good entry point into the studio's output. So let's get into problematic gender identities, gratuitous nudity, shock for its own sake, and everything else that makes Troma such a controversial studio!

After a long night of turning tricks, EJ and Rory wind down for the evening by inviting David Gonzalez and friend of the show Greg Caldwell over to review a love letter to Frankenstein that only Troma could have produced, “FRANKENHOOKER!” Will the gang take what they've learned from this film to finally resurrect Young Vince? Probably not….it's late.
Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski take you through another week in physical media and it's a pretty great week. You can get one of Scorsese's first, Richard Pryor's last concert film and even some early Matt LeBlanc. Peter shows some fondness for Lori Petty's bizarre comic book adaptation and even a little Troma. One of Erik's “Why is this not on blu-ray” choices gets its debut courtesy of Synapse. 20 years before Jurassic Park there was the original Michael Crichton amusement park. The pair debate the legacy of a “prescient” media satire with the late, great Robert Duvall. Finally, not only can you get perhaps the best Tarzan film ever made but John Boorman's incredible telling of the King Arthur legend gets what will be amongst the great upgrades of the year.3:35 - Criterion (Network (4K))21:26 - Warner Archive (Tarzan and His Mate)33:03 - Severin (The Ghost (4K), Retribution, Lookin Italian)49:15 - Cinematographe (Boxcar Bertha 4K)59:43 - Synapse (T.A.G.

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.

Today on Word Balloon, we're joined by one of the true originals of independent cinema, Lloyd Kaufman, the co-founder and driving force behind Troma Entertainment, the longest-running independent film studio in the world and the home of cult classics like The Toxic Avenger and Class of Nuke 'Em High.For more than five decades, Lloyd has made movies completely on his own terms, low budget, high attitude, zero apologies. In this conversation, we talk about how Troma survived outside the Hollywood system, why embracing the underground still matters, what it really takes to stay independent, and how creativity thrives when you stop waiting for permission. This isn't just a trip through cult-film history, it's a master class in doing it yourself and sticking around long enough to prove it works
Today on Word Balloon, we go deep with one of the true originals of independent cinema — Lloyd Kaufman, the co-founder and guiding force behind Troma Entertainment, the longest-running indie film studio in the world and the birthplace of cult classics like The Toxic Avenger and Class of Nuke 'Em High.For more than five decades, Kaufman has made movies on his own terms — low budget, high attitude, and unapologetically weird — and along the way helped shape the underground film movement while launching the careers of creators fans now respect. In this conversation we dig into his career from scrappy beginnings to becoming a permanent thorn in the side of Hollywood orthodoxy, the philosophy behind Troma's outrageous aesthetic, how he keeps creative freedom alive in an industry that rewards conformity, and why genuine independent filmmaking still matters.
Black Roses - “Worship Your Master”Are you ready to rock!?!? We dive deep into the Satanic Panic of the 1980's with BLACK ROSES (1988). A rock band shows up to turn out a small town before they go on their world tour, but the locals may be in for much more than they bargained for! Have you seen this one? We hope you enjoy rocking out with this fresh episode!Support the show
This week on Thoughts N' Shots, join Devin, Cecil, and for his debut riff Ryan aka Ryanics as they plunge into the chaotic world of Troma's wild horror comedy, Rabid Grannies! Expect a raucous ride filled with rabid commentary, unexpected laughs, and plenty of absurdity as the crew navigates through this bizarre tale of grannies gone wild. With a plethora of outrageous drinks and a few questionable ideas for new products, the gang keeps the energy high and the jokes flowing. They'll riff on everything from questionable character choices to the film's questionable production values, all while trying to survive the chaos that ensues. So grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and prepare for a night of hilarity and horror—just remember to drink/smoke and riff along responsibly!
Starting off 2026 with an aborted, mutant baby new year is definitely a choice. One Brian and Steve gladly make to talk about a real New York classic. Clearly inspired by the schlock coming from Troma and Frank Henenlotter at the time, The Suckling tackles women's rights and autonomy with the same deft tact as yelling slurs outside of Planned Parenthood. Full of non-actors who would go on to nothing, and an FX crew who would find long Hollywood careers. Pairs nicely with Doom Asylum and Mutant Hunt.

Tonight's triple feature embraces the exact kind of weird that makes cinema fun. We open with Christmas Chaos! — a meta-documentary about the fictional StabaClaus franchise, built from chaotic behind-the-scenes lore and cast interviews. We're doing it at Kathleen Benton's request since she appears in the film, and if someone you know is in a piece of indie Christmas madness, you screen it.From there, we dive straight into Troma: Tromeo and Juliet and Frankenhooker. These aren't just cult films — they're punk cinema at full blast. Gleeful, grotesque, DIY to the bone, and totally uninterested in prestige respectability.Together, the three films form an accidental masterclass in joyful trash: fake slasher mythology, Shakespeare rewritten by lunatics, and a man who builds the perfect woman out of spare parts. A perfect Troma Christmas.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

We all love Troma ‘round these parts, but we often forget that Uncle Lloydie's more than a director - he's also a distributor of tons of underground films. Most are objectively bad, but not FROSTBITER (1990), this one is a total party. Take equal parts Raimi and Harryhausen, throw them in a pot and simmer for 8 (!) years, and you got yourself some chili… Better write 2 (!) original joke songs about said chili and use them for chili demon battles in your movie. It sounds insane, it is insane, it's also incredibly entertaining and full of charm. Let's go fishin' y'all! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
