The Toxic Avenger: Still Avenging Vengence!

Alright, strap in. We’re diving headfirst into radioactive sludge and corporate malpractice, and I’m bringing floaties made of pure charisma.

Let’s talk about The Toxic Avenger—the 2023 mutation of The Toxic Avenger, now reborn under the slightly unhinged guidance of Macon Blair. Back in ’84, Lloyd Kaufman gave us a mop-wielding monstrosity who looked like he crawled out of a nuclear septic tank and immediately chose violence. It was cheap, it was gross, it was punk rock cinema shot through a slime filter. It also had all the subtlety of a brick through a windshield. And I loved it.

Critters 2: The Main Course (1988): A Second Helping Of The First

Sequels are proof that humankind never learns from trauma. And yet, when the trauma involves demonic hamster-balls from outer space, who can resist a second helping? Critters 2 isn’t a movie; it’s a bar fight between imagination and self-control—directed by Mick Garris, a man who looked at the term “horror-comedy” and thought it meant “set everything on fire.”

Blank Man: A Film About Heart, Justice, And Silly-Billy-Gumdrops!

In the summer of 1994, while America was still humming along to Boyz II Men and arguing about the O.J. Simpson chase, Damon Wayans stepped onto movie screens dressed in long underwear, goggles, and an old bathrobe. His character, Darryl Walker, was not handsome or slick. He was shy, brilliant, socially awkward—a man who tinkered with gadgets the way other people pray. And when his grandmother was murdered by a street gang, he did something audacious. He didn’t pick up a gun. He picked up a soldering iron.

Not Another Superman Movie: When even the villains didn’t show up to work...


Plot Summary? More Like Plot Suggestion. Let’s try to piece this thing together, shall we?

Our story begins—as all creatively bankrupt reboots do—with a moody, brooding Superman hovering over Earth like he’s trying to remember if he left the stove on. The movie pretends it’s about legacy, alienation, and finding purpose in a post-Justice League world, but let’s be honest: it’s really about Krypto the Superdog, who gets more action, more character development, and more emotionally resonant moments than Clark Kent himself.

A TV Crushed His Head, But Not His Spirit: The Case for Stu Macher’s Return

For nearly three decades, Scream has remained a defining force in horror, constantly evolving and subverting expectations. From its genre-defining deconstruction in 1996 to the introduction of the “requel” era, the franchise has thrived on its ability to push boundaries. Now, as Scream 7 approaches, speculation has reached a fever pitch over the return of one of the most infamous Ghostface killers: Stu Macher. While Scream fans have long debated his fate, mounting evidence, thematic consistency, and narrative potential suggest that Stu’s return isn’t just possible—it’s the most logical next step for the franchise.

The Toxic Rise and Radioactive Fall of the Toxic Crusaders Toy Line.

By the time Toxic Crusaders entered the 1990s toy and animation market, the landscape was already saturated with mutant superheroes, anthropomorphic warriors, and various action-packed cartoons designed for the sole purpose of selling toys. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles phenomenon had created a boom in which every toy company scrambled to launch the next big multi-media, kid-friendly action franchise. Some succeeded (Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers), but many crashed and burned (Biker Mice from Mars, Street Sharks, SWAT Kats), and Toxic Crusaders would, unfortunately, land in the latter category.
