Slashers show

Summary: <p>Another Monday means another amazing episode of Slashers Podcast! Today kicks off our first episode of TromAPRIL!!! That’s right, goons, your favorite podcast and your favorite hosts are talking Troma Films all month long.</p> <p>Today we get into Doug’s all time favorite film, The Toxic Avenger (1984)! Find out why this film means so much to him, how it’s inspired him, and how Jake and Ade literally just discovered that Doug’s first short film has a cameo with none other than the Troma man himself, Lloyd Kaufman! Like, what the butt fucking hell, how did none of us know this? The short is titled “Resident Emo” and is apart of an anthology called Treasure Chest of Horrors–which you can find and stream on Tubi. For free. Show Doug’s debut film, he made at 16, some love!</p> <p>We all know that Toxie is the Mickey Mouse of Troma, as he rightfully should be. But did you know that Troma Entertainment and Legendary Pictures are set to do a remake, starring Peter Dinklage as Toxie, as well as Elijah Wood, Jacob Tremblay and Kevin Bacon??? We’re still unsure as to when this will be released, but we’re super fucking excited for it.</p> <p>Finally, at some point, Doug, Jake and Ade realize that without The Toxic Avenger, the three of us may not have come together.
