What comes to mind when you think of raunchy lowest-common-denominator B-Movies? Full Moon? Not even close. The Asylum (Sharknado)? Nope. Keep going. Troma? Think lower. Have you ever heard of Low-Budget Pictures? No? Well, they may be the most productive, if not the most recognizable film companies peddling schlock. Zero Budget Heroes: The Legend of Chris Seaver and Low-Budget Pictures is a loving retrospective of making DIY fun sleazy and cheap films. Given the tawdry source material, this is a thought-provoking and sentimental documentary worth watching, particularly for those with an interest in the film making process.
If yer' anything like yer pals at the Scariest Things Podcast you've got a broad cinema palette and an ever broader tolerance for the profane, the vile, and the fart joke. Good news! There's now a streaming service that seamlessly blends all that gory goodness together in a horrifying smoothie called TROMA NOW!
