     There is a lot to appreciate when it comes to Addison Binek.  If you look past his devilish good look and charming personality, you will find someone who truly loves the strange side of cinema.  In a lot of ways I believe we have similar tastes in film.  I've known Addison for years now and have noticed a lot of similarities in the films we watch along with the films we try to skip.  He has his ear fairly close to the indie horror community which why he has "rifted" several Troma releases on his YouTube series Movies to Watch on a Rainy Afternoon.  I've reviewed several of these collections that he has released over the years and was happy to find a copy of his Troma Edition waiting for me in my mailbox recently.  I want to thank Addison for always supporting Horror Society!

     The film follows Addison who sets out to watch different Troma films where he inserts various clips from the films and then riffs them.  

     Movies to Watch on a Rainy Afternoon: Troma Edition is one of the many things that I've reviewed over the years that will not be for everyone.  It's not going to be for every Troma fan.  However, if you dig Troma and MST3K then you will really appreciate what Addison is doing.  The series is a one man show with the exception of a featured guest on the Hectic Knife episode.  Addison really gets into his character where he delivers cheesy dialogue and punny one liners.  He really does love talking about these films while he pokes fun at them for their short comings.  The themes of each episode is centered around the film or major theme of the film.  He does a great job at working that into each episode while still providing the campy humor that many of us return for.  Finally, the episodes only feature scenes from the films along with segments of Addison saying his dialogue.  The deaths and effects we get are from the films he is riffing.  Overall, Movies to Watch on a Rainy Afternoon: Troma Edition is a solid collection featuring some of underground cinema's sickest films as they get ripped apart by Addison.  I highly recommend checking this out.
