Toast of the Gods is the story of Toast, a drug dealer(?) who has complications returning to his wife Penelope when he is captured by a Cyclopian Disco Sadist. Meanwhile, Penelope is threatened by a strip club owner who wants her for his own. Toast of the Gods is a modern-day version of the Odyssey, which makes it pretty weird, though the jury's still out on whether it's good or not. It's a bit confusing, and a lot of the Odyssey themes are only there to correspond to the book, such as Toast meeting with the Blind Tersies in the Underworld- what the heck was the point of that? But the movie is visually awesome- all the scenes are interesting to look at, the photography is good, the characters are real individuals, and the soundtrack is good.

Really inept independent film
Wizard-811 June 2011
I was really surprised to see someone had already commented on "Toast With The Gods", seeing how extremely obscure and hard this movie is to find. If you do manage to track it down and watch it, it won't take long to discover why this movie is so unknown. To be fair, some of the acting by the cast of non-professionals isn't that bad. But in every other way you can think of, this movie fails. The photography is bad, the dialogue is sometimes recorded so badly that it's hard to understand what the actors are saying, and there is almost no plot at all, just a series of bizarre encounters the lead character "Toast" has. The character of "Toast" is written so vague and with little dialogue that it's hard to get caught up with him in his struggles, and the other characters talk and do non-stop nonsense that make them characters impossible to believe. The opening credits of the movie claim this movie won some awards at some (minor) film festivals. If that's true, it means the movies it competed against were worse than this, which is almost impossible to believe, seeing how bad this movie is.
