About this episode

After almost 14 years of covering bad movies, we finally tackle one of the best worst movies of all time... 1990's Troll 2! HDTGM all-star Adam Scott (Severance) returns to help discuss all the gooey green goblin madness including the pee dinner scene, the daughter weightlifting, the dad's everchanging pajama buttons, the bologna sandwich, Lady & the Tramping a corn cob, and so much more in the town of Nilbog. Plus, a few very special guests stop by to help with second opinions. GEOOOOCORNNNN!

We're coming to NYC on Nov 15th & Philly on Nov 16th! Go to hdtgm.com for ticket info, merch, and for more on bad movies.
