“Look at me. I’m a big fucking idiot!” , my wife sarcastically mocks me, as I make this morning’s coffee. She wasn’t being mean; she was quoting our favorite line from Troma’s Hectic Knife . If you don’t already know, I enjoy many of the classic Troma films. It’s rare that one of their new  films piques my interest enough to dedicate an hour or more of my life to watching it. Hectic Knife was no different. But then… It wasn’t until after I spoke to Greg DeLiso, the director, through the official Hectic Knife Twitter account that I genuinely wanted to watch it. DeLiso seemed very genuine and proud of his work; he was happy to have another viewer. I love when films, good or bad, are created with heart and dedication. DeLiso had my attention and I figured I’d give it a fair shot. After all, Greg DeLiso (director, co-writer) and Peter Litvin (star, co-writer) worked on Hectic Knife from 2010-2016 creating this bastardization of film. Someone needs to watch it. So… Just how ...

“To be or not to be trashy,” that is Troma’s question. With  Tromeo and Juliet , Troma’s take on the William Shakespeare classic  Romeo and Juliet , they combined both class and trash, making an incredibly good film. Imagine  Romeo and Juliet , but with more punk rock music, dismemberment, and lesbian sex. Tromeo and Juliet  is generally considered the best film in the entire Troma catalog. While it doesn’t have the diehard fanbase that  The Toxic Avenger has, the overall quality of  Tromeo makes it unsurpassed in Tromaville. The acting is legitimately good and production quality is nothing to laugh at. Filmed on a budget of just $350,000 in the summer of 1995,  Tromeo and Juliet went on to be one of the best reviewed Troma films. Even though  Tromeo is one of Troma’s most inexpensive films, it was of such great quality that Lloyd Kaufman was invited to screen it at the Cannes Film Festival ( Beware Children At Play!  trailer caused peo...

Killer Nerd  is a 1991 horror-comedy film released by Troma Entertainment. The film stars Tony Radloff as a nerd that has taken too much harassment and goes nuts, killing those who wronged him. While Killer Nerd wasn’t initially received well, it became a cult classic and even spawned a sequel, Bride of Killer Nerd . Tony Radloff went on to write  American Splendor , which was made into an award-winning film . Killer Nerd Plot Summary Harold Kunkle, a nerd, is harassed by punks and is the object of ridicule at work. Enamored of a co-worker, he buys a tape series on how to be cool, summons up his nerve, and goes to the co-worker’s house, only to find her in the clutches of another co-worker. Kunkle goes out on the town but the same punks that harassed him earlier trash him again, but this time something inside him snaps. Read more… Watch Killer Nerd For Free!

Cannibal! The Musical is not technically a Troma Entertainment film, but without Troma, it never would have seen the light of day. South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker released Cannibal! The Musical in 1993 under the original title of  Alferd Packer: The Musical.  The original release was very small and few people got to see the movie. In 1996, Troma Entertainment picked it up for their catalog and re-released it to a slightly wider audience under the better known title Cannibal! The Musical . As this predated South Park , it drew very little attention. Things were about to change! In 1997, South Park debuted and was an instant hit. It was then that people started looking for Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s prior films. Cannibal! The Musical was finally in demand and Troma Entertainment re-released it on both VHS and DVD. The film soon grew a cult following and branched off into a stage show. The true highlight of Cannibal! The Musical is in the DVD extras. Ma...

Class of Nuke ‘Em High holds a special place in my heart. I originally saw it while at a sleepover at a friend’s house. Nuke ‘Em was featured on “Up All Night”, with Rhonda Shear. I was drawn in by the Rhonda boobies, but stayed for the weird, twisted plot. The Class of Nuke ‘Em High series will probably always be my favorite of the Troma movies. The original Nuke ‘Em High was my first taste of Troma and, quite possibly, schlock. When I saw that Lloyd Kaufman and Troma made the original Class of Nuke ‘Em High available to watch for free, I was very excited. I watched it online and then decided I needed to share it, with hopes to expand Troma to a new generation of fans. Class of Nuke ‘Em High Plot Welcome to Tromaville High, where the students are getting brighter… literally! When the local nuclear power plant springs a leak, everybody radiates a new personality. The honor society has mutated into The Cretins motorcycle gang, and a humongous monster fetus is growning in the fallou...

I was out walking my sweet puppy dogs   ravenous hellhounds yesterday, when I heard a familiar sound. It kept getting louder and louder. It clicked what it was… THE ICE CREAM MAN! As a kid, that jingle coming down the street meant that *maybe* I could get a sweet treat in the middle of the hot summer. As an adult, that jingle has a completely different meaning. “The Ice Cream Man?!?! I’m not going to spend $8 for a damn popsicle!”   Who am I kidding? Those Bomb Pops are, well, the bomb diggity. My second thought upon seeing the Ice Cream Man was, “Man, that sh*t’s creepy. I wonder if he’s a serial killer. That’s what I’d do, if I had an ice cream truck. Oh crap! Did I think that or say it out loud?!?!” Needless to say, movies and “wisdom” have changed my thoughts on what the Ice Cream Man means to me. It’s no longer about a treat, but rather something movies have created of that legitimate occupation. Movies like “ Ice Cream Man ” (Clint Howard, 1995), “ The Ice Cream ...

“Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D” is one of the most loved Troma films ever made. Directed by the legendary Lloyd Kaufman, Kabukiman ranks in the top three or four Troma films. While it’s not as popular as movies like “Toxic Avenger” or “Class of Nuke ‘Em High”, it still has a massive cult following, especial amongst Troma fans. Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D. Meet N.Y.P.D. Sgt.

Samurai Cop is one of the Best of the Worst movies of all time, so I had to make a trailer for it. What makes Samurai Cop so awesomely bad ? The acting, production quality, editing, dialog, action, the lion, and the WIG. Alone, this would just result in a terrible movie, but combine them and you have a near-perfect good-bad movie. Robert Z’Dar (Maniac Cop) acts circles around Matt Hannon, who plays the hero. The difference in their acting skills makes it all the more laughable. Even though I’ve seen Samurai Cop countless times, it never fails to make me laugh or say out loud, “What the…?” Samurai Cop has to be seen at least once in your lifetime. Samurai Cop Trailer (fan made) Or watch on YouTube: Samurai Cop Trailer (S&G Edition) I hope you enjoy my Samurai Cop trailer as much as I did making it. Plot from Rotten Tomatoes: “When Japanese organized crime imbeds itself within LA, the police turn to one man to take down the deadly Yakuza — Maniac Cop himself, Robert Z’Dar as...

In a bit of  “WTF!?!” news, it’s being reported that FOX is going to produce a “ Bob’s Burgers ” movie for theatrical release. Even though I love the show, I feel like it would bomb in the theater. Does the show really have that big of a following? I know there was “ The Simpsons Movie ” in 2007, but that was after 17+ years of it running on television. ‘Bob’s Burgers’ Movie in the Works at Fox Creator Loren Bouchard is on board for the big-screen take from Fox Animation. A big-screen take on the hit animated show Bob’s Burgers is being served up by 20th Century Fox.  The series, which premiered in 2011, follows the Belcher family and their friends and rivals. Bob Belcher runs a hamburger restaurant in a seaside town, with his ever-optimistic wife, Linda, and their three children: the self-conscious Tina, goofball Gene and precocious Louise. “We know the movie has to scratch every itch the fans of the show have ever had, but it also has to work for a...
