In this episode, we take a sharp detour away from Hollywood representations of traditional romance to discuss Tromeo and Juliet (1996), a grotesque RomCom by Troma Entertainment, an indie production company. If you can get past the dismemberment and incest, the film features a tongue-in-cheek read of the sexuality of secondary characters and a (T)Romeo and Juliet who take control of their lives in a new world (New Jersey), all while surrounded by the visceral aroma of meat. Watch, listen, and love; if you can stomach it.
