I think that 40 marked the beginning of the senior part of my life.  So my being 50 today means I’m 10 years into my senior years. I’m happy and lucky to be 50.  Life is good.  I want to continue focusing on my health.  I want to be better about my relationships, because I thought I could be a loner for so much of my life, but quality relationships make life more complicated and sweeter at the same time.  Also, to appreciate the gray areas.  So many things don’t have to be black or white.  Forgiving myself, loving myself, and in turn, it can help me love others. Thank God for another year.  

Jason and I review the unrated 2025 remake of  The Toxic Avenger , praising it as a fun, gory, and heartfelt homage to the original Troma films. Jason highlights the cast—including Elijah Wood, Peter Dinklage, and Kevin Bacon—and gives it an 8.2, noting its gore, comedy, and spirit. I agree, giving it an 8, and saying it captures the over-the-top acting, humor, and gross-out style of classic ’80s Troma movies like  Class of Nuke ’Em High . We both enjoyed the outrageous kills, audience laughter, and overall fun vibe, recommending it to fans of the genre. YouTube version A longer audio review is coming soon on the podcast.
