During our “Dawn of the Dead” segment, we wrongly referred to the character Roger (played by Scott Reiniger) as Peter (played by Ken Foree). Let the record show that Darian finds the character, Roger, annoying, and not Peter. He thinks the character of Peter is one of the greatest leading roles in horror cinema. That is all.
