Return to Return to Nuke ‘Em High AKA Vol. 2 Held Over at Film Noir Cinema!

Special Encore Screening on May 18th with Director Lloyd Kaufman Present for Q&A!

“Oddly amiable” yet “icky as ever!”- Glenn Kenny, The New York Times

After news broke out that Troma’s lesbian love story, ‘Return to Return to Nuke ‘Em High AKA Vol. 2’ was going to premiere in the prestigious New York City Film Noir Cinematickets sold out almost instantly, despite opening against the mighty “Avengers: Endgame!” Thankfully, the good folks at Film Noir Cinema have added one last special encore screening on Saturday, May 18th at 8 PM with director Lloyd Kaufman in attendance for a special Q&A! Fans who missed the previous theatrical run can now enjoy the film.


On May 18th at 8 PM, Kaufman’s highly acclaimed Tromasterpiece will be shown the way it was always meant to be seen- uncensored and on the big screen! The Film Noir Cinema has programmed “Return to Return to Nuke ‘Em High AKA Vol. 2” along with one-of-a-kind masterpieces, like ‘Lords of Chaos,’ ‘The House That Jack Built’ and ‘Climax!’ Kaufman will be in attendance for a special Q&A after the film!

“Its outrageous imagery brings to light the absurdity we’re currently up against as a society dealing with all sorts of turmoil.”-LA Weekly

“The fluorescent fluids fly fast and furiously… it gets only wilder from there.”-LA Times

“This might be Kaufman’s angriest polemic yet… bless him and Troma for making a movie that’s so aggressively unclean.”- Simon Abrams, Rogerebert.com

“Return to Return to Nuke Em High AKA Vol. 2, is Troma’s most manic magnum opus yet… It’s right and righteous.”-Film Threat

Troma Tuesdays In Brooklyn, NY and Toronto, CA Now Showing ‘The Taint’ on May 14th at 9 PM with Director Q&A!

Compared to this, the people in Flint, Michigan have it easy!

Water replenishes us, provides oxygen and gives us life… but this new batch is causing the deaths of women everywhere! When a tainted water supply turns men into misogynistic, women-killing psychopaths, it’s up to Phil, a man untainted by the water, and Misandra, a badass misogynist-killer to castrate an entire horde of dangerous men and find out what’s caused the water to become tainted!

Director Drew Bolduc presents a brutal but mostly hilarious horror comedy unlike anything Troma has ever released before! With a killer 80’s style soundtrack, seamless CGI and outrageously over the top violence, THE TAINT is a tall drink you’ll want to have! The director himself will be in attendance at the Film Noir Cinema along with other guests to answer questions about the making of this film!

Troma Tuesday screenings are continuing in Brooklyn’s Film Noir Cinema and Toronto’s Grand Gerrard Theatre! Film Noir admission is only $5, Grand Gerrard Theatre admission is free, and both showings start at 9 PM!

Troma Tuesdays In Toronto, CA Now Showing ‘Gutboy: A Badtime Story’ on May 7th at 9 PM!

The best marionette movie since the one by the guys that made Cannibal the Musical!

Goot was once a regular man with beautiful skin… until an evil capitalist bought it for only three dollars, leaving Goot without his skin or dignity! Robbed of his livelihood, Goot meets a mermaid in a chance encounter, and she wants revenge. Together, they team up to prank the corrupt forces of law, order and the free market… to DEATH!

Director Nick Grant presents a “badtime” story like no other with this original and gorgeous film, told entirely through the art of puppetry with beautifully designed marionettes and hand painted sets that transport the viewer to another world!

Troma Tuesday screenings are continuing in Toronto’s Grand Gerrard Theatre! Admission is FREE, and every showing starts at 9 PM!
