Watch Apocalypse Soon: The Making of 'Citizen Toxie' For Free

Why so much hype?

Memorable, crazy movie

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

APOCALYPSE SOON is a behind-the-scenes documentary exploring the making of Lloyd Kaufman's CITIZEN TOXIE, the fourth film in his TOXIC AVENGER series. Inevitably this documentary turns out to be funnier and more engaging than many films put out by Troma themselves, because it shines a spotlight on low budget filmmaking practises, and many of the absurd situations are very funny indeed. Kaufman comes across a lot stricter than I imagined, but there's plenty of goofiness here as well as an endearing enthusiasm for the craft.

My God, this is some pretty good stuff. My fave part is what I am referring to in the summary...which involves a 7 or 8 year old kid, some funny stuff. Anyway this documentary is really interesting. I want to be a filmmaker someday, so this helps a bit. My God, everything they went through to make this film it is crazy. Lloyd is a good guy, and so is Trent...enjoyed watching Lloyd have little fits over script revisions and stuff like that. Fun stuff! You can learn a lot from Lloyd, and his crew. And learn tons of film facts, it is just great. A good fun time. Make sure you watch CITIZEN TOXIE before viewing this, it gives lots of spoilers if you have not seen the film. You can get this in the CITIZEN TOXIE 2 DISC COLLECTOR'S EDITION or the upcoming MAKE YOUR OWN DARN MOVIE boxed set.

Schpadoinkle. This is a great documentary. It's raw and real. It shows the traumatic process of the making of a Troma movie in all its natural glory. I have seen some horrid documentaries,and trust me when I say you will be amazed at how much this one isn't horrid. It's great. I hope to see more documentaries like this soon. I was really happy to get some insight to some of the Troma faces. Such as Joe Fleishaker. I was impressed with his story of his once athletic bodies inability to stop eating like a professional athlete. That man is great. I wish him all the best, as I do also the filmmakers responsible for this great documentary. Thanks.

You think it's easy to make a low budget film? Watch this documentary. Almost as good as the film it's a companion to, this making-of can be watched and appreciated on its own as well. The trials and tribulations experienced by everyone is at the same time hilarious and devastating. Nobody pulls any punches despite the presence of a documentary crew. Troma movies are silly, raunchy, and a lot of fun, but "Apocalypse Soon" takes you behind the scenes to show this is first and foremost a business. Anybody who thinks that independent filmmaking is easy needs to watch this. 5/5.
