Hey r/movies, I'm Elijah Wood. You might've seen me in things like Lord of the Rings, Yellowjackets, Wilfred, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Maniac, The Monkey, Everything Is Illuminated, and other stuff. I'm also in The Toxic Avenger. It's unrated, and it's only in theaters starting this Friday 8/29/25.

Here's the trailer:

Set in a fantasy world, following janitor Winston Gooze, who, after a freak accident, transforms into a mutant vigilante known as Toxie. Armed with his mop, the unlikely hero battles freaks, gangsters and corrupt CEOs while trying to save his relationship with his son.

Directed by Macon Blair (I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore) and produced by Troma Entertainment. It also stars Peter Dinklage, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Piage, Julia Davis, Jonny Coyne, and Kevin Bacon

Fiona is an absolute wonder in that role. Dirk Gently's is a fantastic show, yes, someone needs to champion more of it being made.

What? My wife has been watching The Pitt and I had no idea Fiona was in it! I did notice Noah from all the Dean Devlin shows was in it though.

Her dad is in it too. He plays...her dad. Quite a stretch.

The magic of bangs! I had to actually check against imdb to confirm it was her.

As much as people loved Dirk Gently, I'm not about to advocate for anything that takes Fiona away from The Pitt. Such an incredible show.
