The Flickering Myth Podcast tries to find out what's going on at Nuke 'Em High...
![]()
We gave it a glowing review back in July when it was screened back-to-back with Class of Nuke 'Em High and since then Troma's Return to Nuke 'Em High Volume 1 has been around the world and has gained some huge attention from horror fans.
With Return to Nuke 'Em High Volume 2 currently in post-production, Flickering Myth co-editor Luke Owen sat down with its stars Clay Von Carlowitz, Asta Paredes, Zac Amico and Catherine Corcoran along with casting director Chelsea Holland and the legend himself, Lloyd Kaufman to discuss the movie, what they wanted to achieve with it and some of their favourite moments from working on the movie.
“Return to Nuke ‘Em High Vol. One & Two, directed by Lloyd Kaufman, is a satirical sci-fi comedy event film with themes ripped straight from today’s headlines: the contamination and degradation of the world’s food supply, rampant bullying, love triumphing over prejudice and LGBT rights. The film, a redux of Troma’s 1986 Class of Nuke Em High is in the same vein as other classics such as Class of 1984, Rock ‘n’ Roll High School, and Carrie, but seen through the unique vision of Lloyd Kaufman and the Troma Team. Welcome to Tromaville High School where, unfortunately, the glee club has mutated into a vicious gang of Cretins. Chrissy and Lauren, two innocent lovers-bloggers, must fight not only the Cretins, mutants and monsters but also the evil Tromorganic Foodstuffs Conglomerate. Will they save Tromaville High School and the world?”
