Lisa sez,
Some friends of mine have just released RetarDEAD, a low-budget indie film that's a sequel to Monsturd.

Evil has come to the Butte County Institute of Special Education, and its students will never be the same. Armed with a fatal hyper-intelligence serum, the mad Dr. Stern single-handedly transforms a quiet community into an army of flesh-eating zombies. It's a showdown of limb-chopping, head-bursting proportions as Stern's nemesis, F.B.I. agent Susan Hannigan, and the local sheriff's department take on the zombie plague in the ultimate battle royale. In short, it's sort of like "Flowers for Algernon" meets "Night of the Living Dead."

Jello Biafra, former lead singer of the Dead Kennedy's plays the town's mayor. I also sing the theme song duet with Girl Trouble lead singer Kurt "KP" Kendall - and as a backup singer in the "Retardettes." The song has been released under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial License, so it is free and available for remixing.

Link (Thanks, Lisa!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Well…I’ve seen it twice and I love it! Of course, I play the part of the Weenie Wagger, but I never got to see the finished product until Friday night. The music, the characters, and the special effects make this a great must-see low budget horror/comedy movie! It got a lot of laughs, multiple rounds of applause, and the creators signed copies of the DVD’s that sold!
