OVER YOUR DEAD BODY MOVIE REVIEW
If you never got to see the 2021 Norwegian film The Trip, you missed out on a crazy, bloody, constantly surprising good time of an action, horror, comedy film. While you can still find it on Netflix, now we’ve got the American remake Over Your Dead Body. And you know what? While remakes of foreign films don’t always work out, this one is an example of getting it right. Director Jorma Taccone (Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping) takes the helm with Jason Segel as Dan and Samara Weaving as Lisa, a married couple who have really had it with each other. Right from the start it seems clear that Dan is prepping for their upcoming cabin vacation not for a good time, but to kill her. And that’s about all I want to tell you in advance about the plot. Things get CRAZY and BLOODY and really damn funny, especially when a trio of prison escapees (Timothy Olyphant, Samara Weaving, and Keith Jardine) show up. Chris and Wright say, go see it in a theater with a big crowd when it comes out because it is a movie you are gonna WANT to see with a big crowd.
DIRECTED BY: Jorma Taccone
STARRING: Jason Segel, Samara Weaving, Paul Guilfoyle, Keith Jardine, André Eriksen, Timothy Olyphant, Ilkka Villi, Juliette Lewis, Iina Kuustonen, Andy Cohen
YOUR REVIEWERS
Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss, Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, Deliberations of Doom)
Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas in 1992 where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar and theater management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this community of critics. While Brian eventually followed his heart to a new family, Chris continues on with a cast of colorful folks from all over the country (and a few others).
Wright Sulek (The Other Boss, Trash in the Can, Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, One Man’s Trash, Screener Squad)
Wright hails from the northern suburbs of Dallas, Texas. His passion for filmmaking brought him to Austin to study and make movies. Since then he’s had his hand in acting, writing, and directing his own short films with numerous like-minded film geeks he’s met along his journey. His newest interest has brought him into the podcasting world. He co-hosted a few different movie related podcasts such as ‘And Now This’ and ‘The Match Cut’. He currently co-hosts with longtime friend, Eric Samaniego, where they talk shop about the grimiest, trashiest, lost gems of movies on their show, ‘Trash in the Can’. Wright also guests and hosts reviews on Screener Squad and Highly Suspect Reviews as well as co-hosts Digital Noise with Chris Cox. As of 2024, Wright has now been inducted into the Austin Film Critics Association as well as co-owns the One of Us network with Chris Cox.
