  • Deep Hopics Movie Review - Ep. 6: The Toxic Avenger
    Jun 27 2025

    For June's movie breakdown, we will be tackling the absurd 80s classic: The Toxic Avenger. In the unpleasant town of Tromaville, Melvin, a dorky custodian at the local gym swan dives into a vat of Toxic sludge while trying to escape bullies. As a result, Melvin morphs into a towering, justice dispatching monster (a.k.a. The Toxic Avenger) making it his mission to take out the garbage (ie bad guys) plaguing the town. Join Kyle and Robert as they discuss all of the random horror comedy nonsense. Why is there a framed picture of Melvin's mom in the shower? Who was your favorite henchman: Nipples or Knuckles? Did this movie remind anyone else of Death Spa (see episode 2!)? And find out if Robert pulled out his stopwatch to 'clock the knockers' with the appropriate timestamps! We hope you enjoy!
