Toxie is back. This week we're talking about the new 2025 (or 2023 depending on who you're talking to) reboot of The Toxic Avenger. A movie that is a little embarrassed to be what is, has great performances that are all the same performance, obligatory nudity, and we debate what the invisible clothes joke is referencing.

Cheers! - Andrew & Diana

This week we're talking about the previous era of Chris Evans as a Marvel superhero. We're going back to 2007's Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer. We talk about the classic combination of Doug Jones and a voice actor, a Galactus you can't see, insisting Sue be blonde, and is this movie surprisingly good?

sorry but Kat is definitely wrong about Aunt May not knowing Ben died. she so clearly felt like she was going to have to tell Peter and Peter already knew. it's extremely obvious

Five stars. Maximum stars. This is a delightful podcast. The hosts are fantastic, have unbeatable chemistry, know their stuff, are funny and just all around fun to listen to. Great structure, too, with a short and sweet, spoiler free intro, then discussion, review, opinions (hilarious and interesting and very engaging), then a great final question/wrap up. I love it. Probably the best movie podcast out there.

I gotta say, the main reason the movie made sense to me at all was because I JUST finished watching the entirety of Smallville. I'm not a comic guy at all, so, without that recent alt-verse exposure, Black Adam would have been even less-sensical. Really, thanks to modern-era "multi-verse" thinking, it is much more enjoyable to compare Chris Reeve's Superman, Smallville, Lois & Clark, the current running Arrowverse and the DCCU. Before multiverse thinking, folks would endlessly dwell on story changes from "canon" and just be miserable and angry about any new shows. SO much better this way...

Love it! They do funny words about good eyes. Particularly love to hear a solid takedown. Jupiter's Ascending Legacy etc. Positivity is nice though too. :)
