Description
Happy Halloween week, y'all! To culminate our first Horror-Adjacent October, Ben, Chris & Kevin review Dead Heat (1988) starring Treat Williams and Joe Piscopo. The movie follows Roger Mortis, a police detective who is paired up with a new partner named Doug Bigelow. The two end up investigating a series of strange murders committed by criminals who seem to come back from the dead. As they dig deeper into the mystery, they learn of an evil scientist named Arthur P. Loudermilk (Vincent Price) who has discovered a secret to bringing the dead back to life and is creating an army of undead criminals. Is this an overrated cult film or a bona fide classic? Listen and find out! Knowmsayin? We spend the last twenty minutes or so discussing other seasonal movies we've seen or plan to close out October with, including mentions of John Wayne, Bella Lugosi, Evil Dead 2, more Vincent Price, and The Exorcist III, among others. Don't miss out on the greasy Trailer Park Boys easter eggs either. Until next time, when we cover Mister Roberts directed by one of the pod's fave directors, John Ford.
