The Toxic Avenger (1984)
00:51:18
Beloved by some, and utterly unknown to others, this 1984 cult classic is an indie in the truest sense, made cheap and dirty.
Matt K from CinemaJaw returns to break down this Troma staple. We discuss how it's aged poorly, how it hasn't, and low budget genre films acting as a launchpad for burgeoning filmmakers.
Happy April Fools! For our annual so-bad-it's-good episode Matt from The Matt and Mark Movie Show joins me to talk "Moonfall." The last gasp of a dead genre from the 90s and 00s, and one of the most expensive independent films ever it crashed hard at the box office.
Inherently flawed, and seemingly written by an AI, there is still a lot to treasure in this bizarre conspiracy thriller.
Alex Marcus of The Pop Break and Derick discuss the final film in John Carney's spiritual trilogy. Music, young love, and brothers are discussed as is the fact Sing Street somehow didn't get a best song Oscar nomination.
Austin Olivia Kendrick returns to the show to discuss this send up of music biopics! With equal parts heart and humor the film is both a love letter and a parody of America's most famous musicians and the mythologies we have built around them.

Richard Kelly's sophomore effort which got booed upon its initial showing at the Cannes Film Festival, Southland Tales is a film that got a lot of hate. However certain corners of film criticism and the internet have praised it as a hidden masterpiece. So who's right about this dystopian sci-fi comedy? Pat Mayo brings Derick this truly absurd and divisive film.
Underrated finally takes a long overdue look a work from Ralph Bakshi! Kyle Bridgett, artist, podcaster, and expert in all things R. Crumb brings the film to Derick.
A somewhat contentions collaboration between Bakshi and Crumb gave way to the paradoxical at times adult animated film. While popular upon release in the 1970s the film is becoming harder to track down today, Does it deserve a modern reappraisal?
