Lloyd Kaufman on Troma, The Toxic Avenger & Indie Filmmaking

At Popcorn Frights 2025, FlickDirect’s Allison Rose sat down with legendary filmmaker and producer Lloyd Kaufman, co-founder of Troma Entertainment, to discuss the company’s 52-year legacy, the rise of The Toxic Avenger, and what it means to remain independent in a world dominated by Hollywood studios. Kaufman shares how Troma has always embraced underdogs, politics, and slapstick horror while inspiring generations of filmmakers. He also talks about the Troma Now streaming service, the upcoming $50 million Toxic Avenger reboot starring Peter Dinklage, Kevin Bacon, and Elijah Wood, and his influences from Roger Corman to Stan Lee. From surviving in the shadow of the majors to celebrating with fans at Popcorn Frights, Kaufman proves why Troma remains one of the most resilient and revolutionary forces in cinema.
