“You Ever Hear About the Toad?” Short Film by Thoroughbread Pictures

Director Fraser Munden at Thoroughbread Pictures in Montreal: “This is the story of the first time Mike Tyson smoked the venom of the Sonoran Desert Toad.”

“Every detail that appears within is based on Tyson’s own words and interviews with people who were present. We tried to remain as faithful as possible with our adaptation.

“An earlier, abridged version of this short appeared as a recurring segment on the Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast. This is the first time you can see the final film in its entirety.”
