Show Notes
This week, Ben and Rob chew their way through Troll 2 (1990), the infamous “worst movie of all time” that somehow became one of the great cult classics. Directed by Claudio Fragasso and billed as Italian horror, Troll 2 is a feast of wooden acting, baffling dialogue, and vegetarian goblins that has been confusing and delighting audiences for decades.
Why is this film actually like this? What strange alchemy turned incompetence into schadenfreude gold? How do our own shameful pasts inform how we should watch Nilbog’s cursed townsfolk? And could there be (hidden beneath the green slime and bizarre choices) a secret lesson about regret and the human condition?
