About this episode

The episode reviews Peter Jackson's debut film 'Bad Taste', exploring its unique blend of genres and its significance in his filmmaking career.

This week we look back at Sir Peter Jackson's 1987 debut film Bad Taste. Blending dark comedy, science fiction, horror and action, this independent feature film was shot on a shoestring budget over a four year period. The story revolves around a small paramilitary force that has to stop aliens from harvesting people for their intergalactic fast food franchise. Its as wacky as it sounds, and worth checking out if you're curious about how Peter Jackson got started in filmmaking before going on to create the epic Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies. #Peterjackson #nz #newzealand #horror #indie #80s #lotr #lordoftherings #franwalsh #bad #taste #badtaste #alien #aliens #invasion #sirpeterjackson #film #movie #podcast
