Hosts Brandon and Leia discuss and compare the original 1984 cult classic The Toxic Avenger and the 2025 reimagining that premiered in 2023, sharing impressions, favorite moments, and how each film handles violence, humor, and social themes.
They explore the films’ transformation sequences, shifts in tone and content, notable cast members and production choices, and how the remake updates the story while honoring the original’s spirit.
Short, conversational, and opinion-driven, this episode reflects on cult status, changes that improve or soften problematic elements, and whether Toxie’s return succeeds for modern audiences.
