Talkin' Troma Special: Not Dead Yet! with Chris Lanphear, Liam Regan and Ben Johnson

Special delivery! Proof of life!

Reports of his death have been greatly exaggerated. In this special bonus episode, host Zack Beins talks with long-time member of the Troma Team (and director at Loudspeaker) Chris Lanphear about his earliest Troma memories, Tromaville.com, yacht financing, and the future of the show. We also tease some of the topics for the upcoming third season of Talkin' Troma!

Later, Zack checks in with two new Troma productions. First, writer/director Liam Regan's EATING MISS CAMPBELL, the world's first sapphic cannibal horror-comedy-love story. The film is currently making the film festival and theater rounds before an action-packed Blu-ray coming later this year.

After, we talk with director Ben Johnson about his upcoming film CURSE OF THE WERE-DEER, which producer Lloyd Kaufman calls, "Like BAMBI, but different!" The film, which is currently in post-production, stars familiar Troma favorites Nadia White, Zac Amico, and Babette Bombshell.

So as you can see, there's lots going on in Tromaville and behind-the-scenes at Talkin' Troma! Buckle up, because season 3 is just around the corner!
