His publications include SLIMED! An Oral History of Nickelodeon's Golden Age; Springfield Confidential: Jokes, Secrets, and Outright Lies from a Lifetime Writing for "The Simpsons"; and See You at San Diego: An Oral History of Comic-Con, Fandom, and the Triumph of Geek Culture.Mentioned in this episode:Mathew KlicksteinLloyd Kaufman: Interviews on AmazonMother's Day - Mathew's favorite Troma filmApril 2025: Total Troma Takeover at Lyric Cinema CafeHosted by Zack Beins.
