Netflix Pick of the Week: Deadheads

Deadheads is a 2011 film by Brett Pierce and Drew T. Pierce. The story starts out with Mike (Michael McKiddy) waking up to find out that he has been dead for over three years, and the love of his life is gone. The worst part is that he realizes he missed the Transformers movie which probably sucked anyway. Mike meets up with undead Brent (Ross Kidder) and the two form an unlikely friendship, and then set out on a mission to win back Mike’s one true love. A film much like Shaun of the Dead that mixes stoner-comedy with horror for one of the wackiest romance films you will ever see. Deadheads proves that true love never dies in this zombie romance story.

Deadheads provides an original take on the overdone zombie genre and gives homage to the throwback style of 80′s films. Mike and Brent are the only two zombies in town that can think and speak. In a town packed full of rednecks and shotguns, the duo must venture out of the town in one piece, which is easier said then done. While all the other zombies in town are feasting upon its residents–all Mike wants to do is find his highschool sweetheart Ellie (Natalie Victoria).

These two brainiac zombies will meet a wide array of quirky characters in their adventure, and eventually pick up Cheese (Marcus Taylor) who is a more traditional brain eating zombie that becomes almost like their loyal pet. The threesome are not only in a fight against decomposition but time–as they must battle government agents along the way. Like any adventure, the team takes up various side quests along the way, such as helping an old man take his dead wife’s ashes to the ocean. If you thought zombie love was weird–then wait until you hear the story of how this old man met his true love.

DeadHeads will be reminiscent of everything you loved from The Evil Dead films. Why you ask? Well the Pierce brothers grew up with their own father working on the set of the film and completing special effects photography for Sam Raimi’s epic series. The film borrows from horror films within the genre combined with humorous cultural references to create its own undead masterpiece. The film starts where most horror films are ending–which is after the zombie Apocalypse has already happened. We find out what happens to the undead, and that some even have a story that carries on long after their body dies. The film moves gracefully between horror, comedy and romance without ever losing its focus. The cast bring their undead characters to life and deliver touching and entertaining moments to the once stale zombie genre. A indie film that will get your attention from the start and proves there is still some life in those undead brain munchers! A must-see film to check out on Netflix this weekend.

Overall: Must See. Add It To Your Netflix Queue Today!

Master Your Aim: Why Every FPS Gamer Needs a Mouse Sensitivity Converter

Say goodbye to floaty aiming and missed flick shots. Here is how math—and a simple tool—can keep your muscle memory razor-sharp across every shooter you play. Whether you are dropping into Valorant for a quick competitive match, warming up in Counter-Strike 2 , or grinding ranked in Apex Legends , every FPS player shares a common goal: hitting shots with absolute precision . Yet, millions of gamers run into a frustrating wall every time they launch a new title—their crosshair feels floaty, sluggish, or way too fast. The problem isn't your mouse, your mousepad, or your skill. The problem is that in-game sensitivity numbers are completely different across game engines . A 1.0 sensitivity in Valorant is dramatically faster than a 1.0 in CS2 or Apex Legends . "Your arm muscles don't learn slider numbers—they learn physical distance on your mousepad.

Blood, Salt, and Unconditional Love: Why Sam and Dean Winchester Transcended Television

When Supernatural debuted on television screens back in 2005, it posed as a gritty, urban-legend-of-the-week horror show. Two brothers in a black 1967 Chevy Impala riding down dark American backroads, hunting ghosts, wendigos, and demons. But as the seasons turned into a fifteen-year legacy, viewers realized the monsters were never the main plot. The true heartbeat of the show was an intense, unwavering bond between two brothers willing to tear down heaven and earth for each other. "There is no me without you. I'm telling you, raised by a hunter, lived like one my whole life... I wouldn't trade it for anything. But if it means losing you? I can't do it." — Dean Winchester More Than Fighting Evil: The Connection We Long For In a world built on fleeting relationships, social media connections, and conditional dynamics, Sam and Dean offered something modern humanity rarely glimpses: absolute, radical devotion .
