    You know, with the destruction of the EPA and the way public concerns are going up again… maybe it is the right time to bring Toxie back to the people.

    Excellent! I’ve been hearing about this movie for years at this point. It makes me happy to hear that it’s finally going to be released publicly.

    The original (and even the other movies in the series) are/were guilty pleasures of mine and hold a special place in my heart. I just watched them all around Thanksgiving. It’s hard to believe my parents let me watch this stuff when I was a kid.

    Anybody know if they’ll be leaning into practical effects or go for more realistic CGI? One of my concerns is that they lean into intentionally crappy and cheap looking digital effects, which is not really my thing.

    Didn’t know there was a reboot, I thought it was about the 1985 movie, I saw it in theater in 1985, it was good :)
