Episode 47: Curtis's Canon #3 - BRAINDEAD, AKA DEAD ALIVE (1992)

"Party's ovah!" Before THE LORD OF THE RINGS, before HEAVENLY CREATURES, there was Peter Jackson's BRAINDEAD, AKA DEAD ALIVE (1992). This week on THE SEAT STRUCK MOVIE PODCAST, John and Curtis cover another one of Curtis's favourites, the New Zealand horror-comedy splatterfest that is DEAD ALIVE. The boys chat about their favourite scenes, baby Selwyn, the slapstick humour, the romance, the old ultraviolence, and do some Ben WAPiro (and Paulie Walnuts) impressions. After the film discussion, they talk about what they watched this week as well as what they've added to their watchlist. Tune in next week for the next John Carpenter watch series entry: VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED (1995)! This episode also commemorates the one-year anniversary of THE SEAT STRUCK MOVIE PODCAST. Thanks for listening, folks! Rest well, Tony Sirico (Paulie Walnuts) and James Caan.
