Todd And The Book Of Pure Evil: Season Two

TODD AND THE BOOK OF PURE EVIL: SEASON TWO (eOne, 2011) Creators: Craig David Wallace, Charles Picco, Anthony Leo, w/ Alex House, Maggie Castle. Rating: NNN DVD package: NNN Rating: NNN


Think Buffy The Vampire Slayer reimagined as a half-hour sitcom by crazed metalheads with a taste for really gross humour and lots of gore.

The titular book magically appears to disgruntled Crowley High students and grants their fondest wishes, a process that always goes spectacularly wrong and usually ends with the wisher splattered all over the walls. Throughout, stoner Todd, his buddy Curtis, Jenny the hottie and science nerd Hannah battle Satanist guidance counsellor Atticus Murphy Jr. for possession of the book.

Episode highlights include a laxative battle with geriatric zombies, an invisible pervert, Atticus raped by a wolf, Curtis getting boobs and Hannah a dick. It’s all very funny and leaves room for characters that evolve from the first season onward.

The generous extras package features an excellent making-of doc on the writing process.

EXTRAS Cast and crew commentary on three episodes, making-of doc, bloopers, more. English audio and subtitles.
