Episode 32: Laid to Rest & Chromeskull: Laid to Rest 2 with Luke Rodriguez

Not Suitable For Anyone

It's pre 2010, and WHAT the FUCK even IS the INTERNET? Let's be honest, the "story" in the Laid To Rest franchise (does two movies constitute a franchise?) is secondary to the writer/director's primary vocation: special effects. These films basically act as a sizzle reel for Robert Hall's brilliant practical effects work. An industry professional, Hall's credits include horror and sci-fi TV shows like Buffy, Angel, The X-Files, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (where he seems to have recruited much of the Chromeskull series cast like Thomas Dekker and Brian Austin Green), and films like Quarantine, The Crazies, and the Paranormal Activity movies.

Joining me on this journey is legendary podcaster, and one half of the brilliant Modern Horrors podcast, Luke "the Juke" Rodriguez (yes, even when the show was briefly me, Luke, and Jake Parker, Luke was still a full half of the show). I'm honored that Luke decided to emerge from his seclusion for his first podcast in months, and he didn't disappoint. He's full of great information and fun reactions to a ridiculous, but highly entertaining series of films. Be forewarned that there's no deeper meaning at work here .. it's just carnage for carnage's sake. And that's, frankly, just fine because it's so superbly executed. Check out Luke's website, ModernHorrors.com. Completely fan supported and ad-free with their Patreon, so please check it out. He's also on Instagram or Twitter @ModernHorrors.

You can spend way too much on a foreign mediabook, or you can watch both films for free on TubiTV. Part 2 is also available via an Amazon Prime subscription.
