Virus - A GrimTrax Feature

Please choose a format above.

A mysterious virus has wiped out 90% of life on Earth. Who’s ready to laugh?!

In our first ever GrimTrax feature, a deadly weapon is smuggled out from behind the Iron Curtain. No, not a Trabant, it’s a biological weapon. Soon after, the entire planet comes down with a sickness that mostly seems to make the cast sweat and yell at each other. Said cast includes a Carradine of notable old dead guys (yes, that is the collective noun for a bunch of old dead guys) as well as Olivia Hussey, who somehow found a role even grimmer than Juliet.

Soon, everyone starts dying, so they make the decision to head to Antarctica, where it’s too cold for the virus to survive — but everyone still manages to remain quite sweaty. In case you were worried about a sliver of hope, it turns out that mutually assured nuclear destruction is still very much on the table! USA! USA! But honestly, if you had to follow George Kennedy into a South Pole restroom, it might be the preferable option.

Featuring a special GrimTrax intro from Mike, Kevin, and Bill, you can watch Virus assured that only the laughs are contagious!

Rated TV-14 for some bloody violence and some deceased livestock.
