Summary: As a tie in to our event, Toxic Avengers #PodGame, we humbly submit our review of The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie. For those of you not following the announcements on instagram, Toxic Avengers #PodGame was Jake's idea to coincide with the release of Avengers: End Game, but with horror's favorite mutated monster hero: Toxie. Be sure to check out Cult Classic Mania (reviewing The Toxic Avenger), Gorelords (reviewing The Toxic Avenger Part II), Terror Trio (reviewing Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV), and Copulators Die First (reviewing episodes of Toxic Crusaders). In this film, Toxie (Ron Fazio/ John Altamura) has a sumo duel with the Devil (Rick Collins), in a vague video game format, which involves the green winged beast being peed on. While that sounds awesome, it comes after a gauntlet of watching Toxie try to keep real jobs to pay eye surgery for his girlfriend, Claire (Phoebe Legere). This film and Part II were originally intended to be one film; however, given issues with the run time, the film was split. You can tell that there are filler scenes and some black magic trickery to stretch the plot like a lumpy Stretch Armstrong (or Vac-Man if you remember those). While not the pinnacle of Llyod Kaufman's (Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead, Class of Nuke 'Em High, Terror Firmer, Rocky) filmography, the film is definitely work the watch-- if only to get to the fourth installment. Also, the melt scene by Jerry Macaluso (Darkman, Mystery Men, Little Nicky) is surprisingly awesome. This week's "Hidden Track" was graciously provided by Bat$hit!crazy (@batshitcrazy_band). Be sure to stay tuned after the episode to hear their song Ellen's Grave. https://campsite.bio/cultclassicmania, https://linktr.ee/gorelords If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.
