The Toxic Avenger is finally here! On this episode I dive headfirst into the 2025 remake we thought we'd never get to see. It's a wild, gory, and gloriously unhinged love letter to the world of Troma. Thanks for stepping into the tomb. Hope you enjoy the show!

In this chapter I talk the haunting new film Lilly Lives Alone. I also had the chance to chat with writer/director Martin Melnick as well as stars from the film Shannon Beeby and Ryan Jonze. We talked about how they brought this eerie story to life and so much more. In one word this episode is "Killer" and won't want to be missed!

The new film from Joe Begos, Jimmy and Stiggs, is a bright, colorful, bloody trip. If you enjoy any of his previous films than this is one you'll want to see!

Sadly The Month of Mattei is coming to an end. In the final film for the month I'm joined by Jason from Binge Movies and The Slashers to make sense of yet another film that both Bruno Mattei and Claudio Fragasso are credited on. This time though Bruno was brought in to "fix it". Can Jason and I figure out this film or will it just become the longest episode for the show ever as we just ramble on? Listen to find out!
