Extinct (2021): Fresh Donuts, Half Baked Morals

Troma Entertainment presents a raunchy, blood-soaked tale of body image and self-acceptance. When a meat-delivery mix-up forces a pork-themed fat camp to kill and serve its longtime pig mascot for dinner, a swine-zombie outbreak emerges.

Even with all the critical praise and the five Academy Awards it won last year, I just kept postponing it indefinitely.
