But now, the term “successor” is being bandied around, and I hope we’re not taking it lightly, but
The fact that Troma still exists is a fact that has me somewhat confused. Oh, sure, Troma’s been putting out over-the-top direct to video movies since there was a top to go over, and Lloyd Kaufman is pretty much recognized as the king of low-budget movie making.
