SHOWNOTES: On the Season 9 Premiere of Collateral Cinema, we are joined by Stew from the Stew World Order podcast to talk Peter Jackson's 1992 zombie comedy splatter film Dead Alive, a.k.a. Braindead! This cult movie may be one of the goriest in cinema, and also one of the most batshit splatter films from the filmmaker that would go on to direct the Lord of the Rings trilogy, so it's the perfect way to start the spooky season! Stay tuned for our next Spooky Month episode covering The Evil Dead (1981), as well as our Halloween Special on Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
