The Hilariously Infamous Troll 2 Review
In this episode, the hosts dive into the hilariously infamous cult classic 'Troll 2,' a 1990 movie notorious for its bizarre plot, poor acting, and incoherent storylines. The conversation covers the wacky narrative of a family swapping homes with another in a town called Nilbog, only to discover the residents are vegetarian goblins aiming to turn them into plant-based food. The hosts explore multiple scenes, discussing the eccentric characters, the subpar special effects, and the film's unintentionally comedic elements. They also touch upon the actors' experiences, particularly those highlighted in the documentary 'Best Worst Movie,' and how it added depth to their understanding of 'Troll 2.' Despite universally negative ratings in terms of its Hollywood merits, the panel appreciates the film's odd charm and its place in the lexicon of so-bad-it's-good cinema.
