A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.

Rules:

  1. Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
  2. Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
  3. If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
  4. Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

THE FIRST SUPERHUMAN-HERO... FROM NEW JERSEY!

A gang of thugs devise a cruel hoax that goes horribly wrong as Melvin, a nerdy emaciated janitor at the local health club, is cast through a third story window into a vat of hazardous toxic waste.

They remade this movie recently with Peter Dinklage and Kevin Bacon but they refuse to actually release it for some reason: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1633359/

I am desperately awaiting it. But it seems it's producer and distributor issues.

It's infuriating lol. One of the rare remakes I am looking forward to, and this happens

The movie that put Troma(ville) on the map.

My friend in highschool was obsessed with Troma movies. I'll never forget the first time I saw the six foot penis monster in Tromeo and Juliet.

I've been trying to talk my spouse into watching that one for years. She refuses. Sigh.

Maybe try Poultrygeist?

My wife just got me the Mondo print of this movie poster for our anniversary last week. After 33 years she is still a keeper!

The cartoon is also fantastic.

The Toxic Avenger is also a cool synthwave artist, named after this movie iirc. Only reason I know this movie exists is because I looked up the artist one day

A hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength: New Jersey’s first superhero!

I'm about to cornhole me a blind bitch!

A Toxic Avenger? Isn’t that just Iron man?

One of my all time favorites. Wear my Tromaville Health Club shirt on the regular.
