I've censored part of the title and cover from the Troma Entertainment press release:
For over a half a century, Troma has produced and distributed cinematic masterpieces such as The Toxic Avenger, Def By Temptation, Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D., Class of Nuke 'Em High, Cannibal! The Musical, and Tromeo and Juliet. Now Troma’s founders Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz present a new twist on the Bard’s classic The Tempest with #ShakespearesS***storm.
This modern adaptation speaks to our time of greed and opioids. Prospero Duke (Lloyd Kaufman) pledges revenge against his sister Antoinette (also Lloyd Kaufman) and pharmaceutical weasel Big Al (Abraham Sparrow) on a cruise ship. His plot involves feeding whales laxatives to create the titular disaster. The screen overflows with poetic dialogue and musical numbers filled with bawdy humor and bodily fluids.
The bonus features include an introduction by Lloyd Kaufman; producers and cast commentaries; several shorts; theatrical trailers; a full length behind the scenes documentary; and original songs from the movie.
I won't post the official trailer here due to the subject matter, but you can find it on the Coming Soon playlist on their YouTube channel:

Troma has a huge cult following, it's good to see a 4K release for their fans.
