The Toxic Avenger with Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler (the hilarious Nick Nemeth) joins Dan and SJ to discuss a favorite movie of his, the superhero/horror cult classic The Toxic Avenger. They talk about the choice to include topless women constantly, Pat Ryan's great 80s politician villain performance, the inexplicable nazi cop, how the vehicular murder scene could have been its own movie, the actual goat from the prank scene having lice, the Toxic Avenger's supernatural sense of right and wrong, nearly every character knowing karate, the painful fast food fight scene, the sundae murder, the absurd love story, and comparisons to Jason Vorhees.
