On this episode of the podcast, Killdozer and The Toxic Avenger, two low-budget horror films.

What links these two together is they’re both micro-budget horrors with a cult following, more so for the Troma production. In Killdozer, as the name overtly suggests, a construction vehicle becomes sentient and well…kills!

Shocker, sometimes literally. And in The Toxic Avenger, a 90-lb weakling develops super hero powers when falling into toxic waste, again, as the name suggests. Vigilante justice is then brought to Tromaville.

This is a short one this week, back to longer format podcast episodes next week.
