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.

Directed by Ben Leonberg, Good Boy is the supernatural horror film starring Shane Jensen and Leonberg's real-life dog Indy in the title role.
Our canine hero, Indy, finds himself on a new adventure with his human owner (and best friend) Todd, leaving city life for a long-vacant family home in the country. After moving in, Indy is immediately vexed by empty corners, tracks an invisible presence only he can see, perceives mysterious warnings from a long-dead dog, and is haunted by visions of the previous occupant’s grim death.
We break down all things from the unique "dog perspective", to the creepy things lurking in the shadows, to the film's unusually short run time.
