63 | The Toxic Avenger & Mark Trogl (Melvin)

Dec 1, 2017

This episode dives into the bizarre 1984 superhero horror comedy The Toxic Avenger and our guest is "Little Melvin" himself- actor Mark Trogl. 

Mark has a great story about how he originally got involved with Troma Entertainment and how he ultimately ended up as the 98 pound weakling who would become a superhero in this cult classic film.  We hear first hand what it was like working on these early Troma films.

We also learn about Mark's 2017 film "Toxic Tutu"- the almost true story of what became of The Toxic Avenger's Melvin the Mopboy.
