Planet Terror (2007)

About this episode

The episode explores the Grindhouse horror film 'Planet Terror' and its outrageous elements.

It's time for some crackling Grindhouse horror! The Cinephiles return with a vengeance! Join the guys as they delve into Robert Rodriguez's 2007 action horror comedy schlock fest PLANET TERROR. A movie that is NOT FOR EVERYONE but for those select few who like their movies dripping with sleaze, gloriously gory, hilariously campy and genuinely shocking. Whether it's a one-legged go-go dancer, the best damn BBQ cook in Texas, a very dysfunctional family of doctors, a sheriff whose comatose wife farts like a pack mule, a couple of crazy babysitter twins or the one who goes by...El Wray. This episode has it all and will leave you so full of grime and goo you'll need a shower afterwards. Proceed with caution and enjoy the moist discharge of pus from a pulsating abscess on the asymmetrical expanding head of a freshly infected zombie. We're gonna eat your brains and gain your knowledge!
