Larry takes us to New Zealand for this Horrific Pint. Peter Jackson, before he was known as the fimmaker to bring Tolkien to the big screen made low budget gorefests, and Dead Alive is just that.

The 4th edition of Scary Larry's Pint O' Horrors is a long time coming. Motel Hell has been one hell of a film for us to actually get to record, and we had to do it in true social distancing fashion.

So we sat down in 4 different places to test out different methods of recording remotely, and just ended up recording an impromptu conversation. No plans, no notes, and no audio quality! We are working on improving that last one though! Enjoy a pretty fun discussion from Covid to Star Trek and beyond. Listen In!!

Forgotten Cinema February continues on The Pint! Mike Butler makes his choice and decides to pick a very maligned entry in a very popular series.
