Troma's SWEET MEATS cast goes bananas discussing the behind-the-scenes antics of their musical horror comedy film that recently completed its run in "Hands Across Tromerica" and will make its digital debut on Thanksgiving Day 2025. John Horton (@jahorton13 ) & Kyle Pierson (@Area51ESD ) welcome the return of director Ricky Glore & stars Eileen Earnest and Timmy H. Barron.

Oddly enough, that's not why they came on IN THE SPOTLIGHT (www.facebook.com/inthespotlight). The real reason they are here is to discuss their next TWO films, CASUALLY COOL and TRULY TRUDY. That discussion will be posted later today. However, if you've ever wanted to get involved with a movie, here's a unique way to get your name in the credits or maybe even appear on screen: https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/rickyglore/snl-to-cincinnati-casually-cool-truly-trudy

Oompa Loompa do-ba-dee-doo,

we have a quick interview for you.

Oompa Loompa do-ba-da-dee,

Jessa becomes a blueberry.

Put your children to bed for this one, because Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory produced more than Everlasting Gobstoppers. Director Bob McKinley takes you on a verbal tour of what happened behind the scenes of his new adult-themed parody short film, JUICE: THE LEGACY, starring Jessa Jupiter Flux ( @TheFinalGhoul ).

Thanks for watching and please remember to follow John Horton @jahorton13 , Kyle Pierson @Area51ESD , and IN THE SPOTLIGHT (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572550589615).
