Earlier today, Variety broke the news that distributor Cineverse (Terrifier 3) has signed a deal to distribute writer-director Macon Blair's The Toxic Avenger in theaters and streaming across North America in 2025. Filmed in 2021 in Bulgaria, the reimagining of the classic Troma film was first shown at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas in 2023 but then things went... silent. Word was that the film had trouble securing distribution. Legendary Pictures, who produced the film, remained mostly silent on its potential release until today's announcement. Host Zack Beins and Talkin' Troma correspondent Chaz Kangas break down the news and talk about a brighter, more Tromatic Tomorrow in this special report! NO SPOILERS! We also round up recent news about the upcoming Toxic Crusaders video game, the release of #ShakespearesShitstorm, TromaDance, and much more!
