Troll 2 (1990)
This week, The B-Movie Boys travel to Nilbog, a place with absolutely no trolls, several goblins, and one of the most aggressively confusing movie titles in cinematic history. We’re talking Troll 2, Claudio Fragasso’s infamous vegetarian-goblin nightmare, where a family vacation turns into poisoned food, green milk, plant people, questionable acting, and one very determined child with a bladder full of justice. Along the way, we unpack the movie’s bizarre production history, its Italian filmmakers shooting in Utah, the casting of an Alabama dentist as the lead, and the sheer audacity of making a sequel to a movie this thing barely knows exists.
But the real surprise is how much we genuinely love this movie. We dig into Best Worst Movie, the documentary that helped transform Troll 2 from an infamous curiosity into a communal cult experience, and why the movie works so much better when you watch it with people who are equally willing to yell at the screen. There’s filmmaking analysis, Schlockometer shenanigans, some extremely questionable food metaphors, and enough “they're eating her, and then they're going to eat me” energy to fuel several more episodes. Troll 2 is certainly one of the B Movies of all time.
