Welcome back to your favorite podcast about some of the biggest cinematic bombs of all time. This week, the guys are so excited to have Amy and Freddy Morris from the longest running horror podcast of all time - Night of the Living Podcast. If you have some of the foremost experts on horror on your show, you have to jump into the zombie realm and that’s actually what we did! This week, the gang tackles the 1988 buddy cop action zombie comedy film - Dead Heat. As one of the more insane buddy cop films, Dead Heat failed to make an impact upon release with both audiences and critics. The movie fell short of expectations forcing the studio to cancel the planned sequel. Does Dead Heat deserve a second look? Are pee and poop jokes funny when you’re in your 40’s? Is Vincent Price the greatest horror actor of all time? Listen to this week’s episode and find out!
