The term toxic masculinity gets a whole new meaning once you meet the Toxic Avenger, the mop wielding mutated radioactive superhero from Tromaville and the face of the independent film studio Troma. Under the supervision of its founder and leading spirit Lloyd Kaufman, the company has been chucking out low-budget, low-brow entertainment since the 80s, building an impressive universe of its own, years before Marvel shamelessly ripped-off the concept. Always eager to horrify with all new depths of depravity, Troma reached a particularly obnoxious low point with Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV, the final instalment in the studio’s flagship franchise. To give the screening a local odour, this proud cinematic turd will be dubbed into Czech live on stage by the stellar shockproof ensemble cast.
