Mrs. Movies and I tend - seemingly - to have pretty different tastes. But? Twice this week, I've been in sound total agreement with her. Just watching this reaction, never having seen the film, trying to wrap my head around it- it felt a little like torture for me as well. The film just keeps adding bug abilities to a never-ending, constantly unfolding bizarreness lore to retain its villains' slight advantage over the otherwise comically outmatched heroes. Also: I went to Tubi to get a mere glimpse of what The Toxic Avenger II would be like. And I have quite the tough-Troma stomach but I was not having any of that. I don't think I made it 15 minutes before I shut it off. The film has a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes and I understand why. Very wise decision indeed not to insist on adding any of the sequels to the schedule.
