Ep. 53: Dead Heat featuring Justin Grams

02/24/22 • 100 min

We bring on our good friend and New World super fan Justin Grams to discuss 1988's DEAD HEAT, which he first showed to Ryan back in their college days and has quoted to him in texts ever since. But does it still hold up for Justin? We'll dig in to that and the Joe Piscopo of it all, while also talking about what we would do for our death days and how nice Treat Williams looks in make-up. You don't want to miss this discussion of a New World Pictures classic, which was released just as the company was falling apart.
