Macon Blair is a multi-hyphenate entertainer. You've seen him as an actor in films like Blue Ruin, Green Room, and a little small micro-budget film called Oppenheimer. His 2017 directorial debut, I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore, won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, and he wrote and directed the film we are here to talk about today, 2025's The Toxic Avenger, which is finally in theaters now around the world. On this very special episode of Talkin' Troma with Zack Beins, we have Macon Blair himself to guide us through his wild and wonderful new reinterpretation of Toxie. Join us as we explore the ins and outs of casting, working with Peter Dinklage and Elijah Wood, tales of shooting in Bulgaria, special FX shots, Lloyd Kaufman, and so much more!
