This week we're diving into Planet Terror (2007). We dissect the intensity of its gore, look back on its star-studded cast, and analyze its nostalgic grindhouse aesthetic. In this episode's b-side, we explore the wildest limb weaponizations, brainstorm a feature film, and debate the practicalities of limb attachments. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 24:36.
