Luke and Jae dive into The Toxic Avenger — gleefully gory, gloriously weird, and a long-awaited modern revival of the cult classic. Directed by Macon Blair and starring Peter Dinklage, the film reimagines Troma’s iconic anti-hero for a new generation, blending outrageous humour, splatter-filled chaos, and genuine heart.
They discuss how this reboot pays tribute to the original while carving out its own toxic identity, the standout performances (yes, including Kevin Bacon’s villainous turn), and what this could mean for the future of cult cinema.

That Film Stew Ep 600 - A Haunted Milestone (Halloween Special 2025)
In our 600th episode we celebrate by diving headfirst into the genre that’s thrilled, chilled, and spilled across our timeline: HORROR.
From our very first spooky review to the most underrated scream-fest we’ve ever covered, we’re kicking things off with a look back at our horror milestones. Then it’s time to sharpen the knives as we pit the classics against today’s trauma-laced, meta-aware scream machines.
We dissect the trends haunting our screens in 2025 - elevated horror burnout, the rise of horror comedies, and the never-ending parade of legacy sequels. And of course, it wouldn’t be October without a handful of must-see horror recommends for the season, from cozy creeps to blood-soaked fun.
