On today's episode of the Action Addicts Podcast we have returning guest Lindsay Wilkins to talk about two pretty insane Zombie films. First up we have The Manson Brothers: Midnight Zombie Massacre which is sold as Wrestlers vs Zombies with some comedy. It sort of delivers on that premise but is a lot more "inside baseball" about the wrestling industry and the indie scene than you might expect. Then there's the real piece of insanity that is Zombie Fight Club. Sold as The Raid but with zombies, it does not deliver that and instead gives us one of the bleakest and depraved end of the world scenarios for the audience to ponder. It's mean, gross and shifts gear so fast the engine nearly blows up. Trust me, this is a good chat folks.Action Addicts Links: https://linktr.ee/actionaddicts Hosted on Acast.
