Toxic Podcast

Toxic Podcast returns from hiatus to ingest the starkly depressing depiction of toxic masculinity and its role in the development of a massively influential and world altering social networking site. Alejandro attempts to responsibly interpret the film despite the intrusions of Real World Mark Zuckerberg and Jessie Eisenberg's Mark Zuckerberg, both of whom storm the podcast bringing their own agendas.

As Sacha Baron Cohen's Who Is America continues to be a topic of controversy, Alejandro returns to the equally if not more controversial 2006 film Borat. His foot also returns to his mouth and remains there for the duration of the episode. Who better to apologetically hem and haw for forty five minutes about the impact of offensive humor than some random straight white guy? Has the podcaster learned his lesson about biting off more than he can chew? Also the episode ends w a lovely Italian Dinner and pep talk from Michael Shannon.

A genuine mystery. Alejandro attempts to get to the bottom of Who Let The Dogs Out, a hyper repetitive megahit from the 2000's with a convoluted history. Every attempt made to shed light on the Mystery Of Who Let The Dogs Out yields more questions, and as the truth begins to take shape the episode culminates in a series of explosive bombshells that nobody, least of all our intrepid host, could have predicted.

Alejandro braves The Purge with no Purge Insurance this week to discuss Election Year, a movie about an election year that was released in an election year. Too much of this movie hits too close to home, and if it isn't Toxic The Purge is at least disturbing. Why is that one girl so obsessed with candy? Who stole Frank Grillo's youth? Will Alejandro survive?

Toxic Podcast returns with 50 First Dates, a nightmarish alleged Romcom starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore in what would begin Sandler's cultivation of the Movie That Is Also A Vacation For Him. Alejandro rails against cruel comedy and we discuss the horror of living the same day over and over again, the horror of being a part of this charade, and the horror of being in love with Adam Sandler. Ft. The Jigsaw Killer!

Alejandro has watched the rest of Man Of Steel this week and we discuss the brutally repetitive question of whether humanity is ready to accept The Superman. Maybe he shouldn't save people? Does Superman's toxic upbringing inform Henry Cavill's performance or lack thereof? The Jigsaw Killer also returns to deliver Alejandro a deadly ultimatum. Let your cells drink up the radiation!!

Alejandro begins a two-Part discussion of 2013's unwatchable Super-Epic Man Of Steel with a mini episode focusing on the film's 20 minute opening sequence on Krypton. A symphony of no stakes explosions and an incomprehensible shouting match between Jor-El and Zod culminate in the planet being blown up and Kal-El being launched to earth, as was to be expected of a Superman movie.

In the totally unprecedented 10TH EPISODE OF TOXIC PODCAST Alejandro makes a triumphant return to the Saw franchise and enters the retcon in a big way. Saw 4, an underwhelming film, is nevertheless extremely important within the greater narrative of the franchise. It also boasts a man getting his head smashed by two large ice blocks like a watermelon. Alejandro does some decent bits but he reveals himself to be a monster when he declares of the film that "the violence is underwhelming." It's a party! Be careful.

King Lear, one of the original Toxic Artifacts, is on the docket for this week's Toxic Podcast. The story of an angry baby king who wants nothing more than to abuse his family and the evil daughters who don't like getting yelled at. Alejandro relives Humiliations From College English Classes and describes in detail his lazy Podcast Process. Sorry for not living up to my Podtential.
