Welcome back for another round of Dead Roosters, the podcast that watches the scary and disturbing films for you, so you won't have to. This one in particular was a real challenge. We would like to start by warning you that the film itself is VERY mature and if you have any triggers of sexual violence, you may want to avoid this one. Very mature rating on this particular episode and apologies for any ignorant things said, we don't know how to act like humans.
To sum up 'The Sadness', the film follows a couple who is attempting to reunite and also survive a plague that turns those infected into sadistic, violent sadists that give in to their worse impulses. The film is very graphic, and very gory, and to say it touches on mature tones is putting it lightly. The film certainly gives fans some of the classic plague film, gory good times but this is a film that will take a really strong stomach to make it through. If you are curious but don't want to endure the torture of watching this yourself, then listen to us discuss in probably more detail than we should have. Plus, some fun facts about the production of the film sprinkled in that are probably equally disturbing. Enjoy and thank you for listening.

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.
