Hiatus continues

Birthday Party Zombie Attack vs. A Case of Beer

Your Champion

Birthday Party Zombie Attack

(VHS 2)

VS

Your Challenger

A Case of Beer

(Almost Famous)

The Case for Birthday Party Zombie Attack (1):

Having been attacked and turned into a zombie while wearing a GoPro, Mike (Jay Saunders) and several other zombies are drawn to the sounds of a little girl's birthday party.  Attacking them, Mike is momentarily subdued by his reflection until the surviving partygoers escape.

The Case for A Case of Beer:

Arguing with Penny Lane (Kate Hudson), William (Patrick Fugit) tells her that he is much more dangerous than she thinks - and follows through on that with the information that Penny was traded away by Russell (Billy Crudup) for $50 and a case of beer.  Shocked and hurt by the news, Penny tries to play off this knowledge, but Hudson beautifully shows just how much this has hurt Penny, even as William apologizes.
