Updates for the rest of 2020

 Ok, with the Aroma of Troma behind us, September is going to be a bit light on content. Maybe a few reviews, etc., but October? October will again see Horror of all stripes, but all the Centennial and Pelican horror hosts.  

November will probably be again be light, but December will see the return of the art showcase. The main difference is that will start on Wednesday and will run WTF every week of December. Expect more Pro Wrestling: The Comic as well as some of the odds and bobs I've gathered over the years.

Aroma of Troma Week: Class of Nuke 'Em High (1986)

 Class of Nuke 'Em High (1986) dir. Richard W. Haines/Michael Herz/Lloyd Kaufman, Troma Entertainment 



And so we end another feature here at Geekademia, at least for another year. We've seen comedy and horror in equal measure so why not end it with a nuclear powered teenage mutants of superhuman size and strength? Then I remembered I already did the Toxic Avenger so let's take a look at the silver medal of the Tromaverse.

Aroma of Troma Week: Combat Shock (1986)

As you may have guessed I'm not going in strictly chronological order. We've seen comedy, horror, and action. Why not something that combines genres?

Aroma of Troma Week: Squeeze Play (1979)

 Squeeze Play (1979) dir. Lloyd Kaufman, Mountain Productions/Troma Entertainment 

After the disappointment of Big Gus, What's the Fuss? Kaufman and company decided keep with the comedy but add one thing they felt was lacking-copious amounts of nudity
