    🍅 One of the more entertaining B-movies out there. Better than the original as far as I’m concerned. 🍅

    I just don’t understand what caused the toxic avenger and this to get Saturday morning cartoons. Trying to capture TMNT’s lightning in a bottle I guess.

      Yes. This.

      Being born in the 80’s means you got pop culture the wrong way around because all the good shit already happened. From the point of view of a 1985 baby, Star Wars has always been there in exactly the same way as Sherlock Holmes: Long enough for people to make children’s media loosely based on it.

      So, there’s a bunch of us who, when you mention Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, they see a Saturday morning cartoon with talking tomatoes rather than the Sharknado of the 1970’s.

      Yes and no. There are two classification systems, botanical and culinary. So when the scientists are trying to devise a way to kill the killer tomato, he’s a fruit. If he dies and chefs try to figure out how to make his remains into soup, then he’s a vegetable
