Dead Alive (Episode 8) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky
Description
Before he became the official film adapter of all things J.R.R Tolkein, Peter Jackson was a young monster movie enthusiast and animator creating kitschy, violent, over the top gore-fests in his home country of New Zealand. When Dead Alive, his third feature, appeared in 1992, it had one of the biggest opening weekends of any film in New Zealand history, beating the latest Warner Bros. Batman film at the box office. It didn't have as immediate an impact in the US in February 1993 but Hollywood could tell they had a unique talent on their hands.
Dan traveled four hours to be with Vicky to get Episode 8 out and after a rocky start (another computer malfunction caused their first take at 8 to be deleted), they deliver their tightest show to date. In addition to the gushy main feature, they touch on some of their other recently viewed movies -- Vicky makes a case for The Den and Dan tries to forget Queen of the Damned -- and try and remember just who the hell Shanice was and what she was signing in 1993.
Hot Date Episode 8:Dead Alive is one nasty Mother.
