503: The Toxic Avenger (2025) 09/01/2025

503: The Toxic Avenger (2025) Toxie is back. This week we're talking about the new 2025 (or 2023 depending on who you're talking to) reboot of The Toxic Avenger. A movie that is a little embarrassed to be what is, has great performances that are all the same performance, obligatory nudity, and we debate what the invisible clothes joke is referencing. Host Andrew Ivimey will be performing in Halifax Nov 7, 2025 with special guests Luba Magnus (CBC, Grindstone Comedy Fest) and Jordan Foisy (This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Vice), and Clare Belford (New York Comedy Festival, Halifax Comedy Festival).

500: Deadpool (Revisited) 08/11/2025

500: Deadpool (Revisited) It's our 500th EPISODE! We can hardly believe we've been doing it this long and to celebrate we've decided to revisit our first episode of the podcast. It's 2016's Deadpool and we talk about if it holds up and why, reasons it was ahead of its time, and if the zamboni is the funniest vehicle ever made. We also chat about how the podcast has changed and our most memorable moments of the past 500 episodes. Thanks for listening to us goof around 500 times and here's to 500 more! Cheers! - Andrew & Diana /episode/index/show/talkfromsuperheroes/id/37726955
