And check out our interview with Troma Films creator, and B-movie legend Lloyd Kaufman. We spoke to him last fall while he was on set for a cameo in Science Team.
In the bit below, Kaufman talks about working with Science Team Director and Richmond native Drew Bolduc, and Bolduc’s last film, The Taint :
You learned about Bolduc through The Taint, his last movie–which featured Richmond heavily, as well as a lot of full frontal male nudity. How did you feel about The Taint?
It has a great environmental message about water supply, which is coming to haunt us. The world is running out of water. My daughter (Charlotte) spent two years in Yemen, and Yemen’s got a huge water problem. I did a piece about BP on YouTube where I portrayed the chairman of YouTube talking about the [oil] spill. It was obviously a satirical thing.
Fast Food Nation was a great book, [but] the movie appealed only to yuppies, to people who were already interested. It was boring. No one went to see it. Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead, there’s a movie that some people saw. And maybe it changed a few. Maybe it got people thinking a little bit. And they had a good time. But what’s great about The Taint is that it’s got an important theme, a satire of American culture. It’s got some great effects. Technically it’s brilliant, and it’s extremely entertaining.
I took the train here for seven hours because I identify Drew as talented, perhaps the next Trey Parker or Matt Stone. Troma discovered them. They did Cannibal: the Musical for Troma, they went on to do… well, I don’t know what happened to them. They sure were talented! James Gunn did Tromeo and Juliet, and is now directing Guardians of the Galaxy. A lot of famous people came out of Troma, and I think Drew will be recognized as one of the world class directors. I paid for my ticket myself, I’m sleeping in somebody’s house, it’s definitely not luxury. I had some kind of three foot… insect that attacked my laptop in bed last night. All because I think [Drew]’s really important.
