Mutants! Mops! Movie stars! In this spoil-free bonus episode, Zena and Keenan chat with writer/director Macon Blair about his upcoming THE TOXIC AVENGER, spreading its unique brand of toxic carnage across the country on August 29th! 

We get into mutant mayhem, Troma roots, monster comedy, and working with an absolutely bonkers cast: Peter Dinklage, Luisa Guerreiro, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Kevin Bacon, Elijah Wood and more! In Macon's vibrant reimagining, Winston Gooze is a janitor who becomes a social outcast when a freak accident at a chemical factory turns him into a mutant. However, he soon uses his newfound superhuman strength to battle slimy criminals and a corrupt CEO.
