Episode 500: Troll 2 (1990) (f/Robert Bacon)

FIVE HUNDRED EPISODES? How, you ask? Well, we don’t have a good answer but we DO have a good guest along with us as we travel to the ill-fated town of Nilbog on a house-swapping (?) adventure: Robert Bacon! For our 500th conversation, we enjoy a rewatch of the infamous “best worst movie” TROLL 2 (1990), which has zero trolls but a ton of goblins. Bacon is a self-made bad movie connoisseur and asserts that this one is NOT an actual bad movie, not by a mile, but rather a work of art when one considers it from the perspective of a stage play. This thesis really has legs, which probably made the trolls(goblins) super mad because really, who can’t outrun monsters that short?
