“There was a wonderful line of dialogue from an early episode of the biting cartoon The Boondocks that I’d like to share. The scene follows the protest of a lemonade stand that is being recklessly exploited by a corrupt businessman. To calm everyone down, the evil tycoon closes down the stand and unveils a “cruelty free” beverage, which the crowd blindly accepts.

Troma’s latest release, Return to Nuke Em High: Volume 1, takes the attitude of that line and stretches it out for 90 minutes. Of course, to those familiar with this independent film studio, it’s not surprising; they’ve had this mood for several decades. But where Boondocks and Troma differ is in the delivery. Where the cartoon is angry, the film studio is regurgitating and laughing.” READ MORE
