Cinema File Podcast

For the 500th episode of the Cinema File Podcast (est. 2009), Andrew took a social media poll asking which notoriously yucky film the listeners would like him to do a reaction commentary for, and Peter Jackson's 1992 gorefest "Braindead" (aka "Dead Alive) won. This is the 98-ish minute cut of the film.

For the final month of the final year of the decade, Texas-based filmmaker Tiffany Warren joins Andrew for a look back at what he considers to be the most consistent horror movie franchise of all time: FINAL DESTINATION.
