Grindhouse vol. 1: Planet Terror (2007)

The floors are sticky, the popcorn is a little suspect, but the movies… they’re absolutely wild! This week on Kill By Kill, we’re looking at the first half of a deadly double feature: 2007’s PLANET TERROR. Along the way, we give a brief history of grindhouse film, wonder why every other woman is wearing the smallest shorts of all time, consider the medical efficacy of syringe launchers, and connect this structure of the film back to one of John Carpenter’s unmade films. All this, plus credible melting men, BBQ envy, cookie-dough dememberment, flight via grenade launcher, and the Crazy Babysitter Twins. Grab your favorite jar of oversized testicles and listen in today!
