Braindead / Dead Alive
Braindead is often cited as the goriest film ever made, and it’s hard to dispute. But it’s a big favorite of Todd’s, and a request from at least one of our listeners over the years. Enjoy!

There’s Nothing Out There is an amateurish 80’s movie that nevertheless was, in some ways, ahead of its time. But there’s a lot of heart here, and some genuinely fun and funny moments. Directed by a 20 year-old from a script he wrote as a teenager, this week’s movie was fun to watch and discuss.
Even though it’s a found-footage movie, even Todd found something to like about it.
And what a ride it is. We found more charm here than your average , thanks to some excellent writing, great cinematography, and the decision to “keep it real” on the…um…beaver effects.
Have a listen to see what we thought of this 80’s horror comedy, and whether it stacks up to the original.
It’s what you get when a director who was never enthusiastic about the original tries to take the material in an entirely different direction. We had a lot to say about this mess of a movie, and some of it may surprise you. Give it a listen!
