Cutting Room #170: ‘Shaft’ Was Much More Than a Supercop

Decider: THE DEAD DON’T DIE “Stream it!”

From Decider: “Really, what else are they gonna do in quiet, quiet Centerville? Investigate how polar fracking nudged the planet off its axis, causing everyone’s watches and cell phones to stop working and making the sun set way later than it should? That’s above their pay grade. Maybe they can look into why the cows have all R-U-N-N-O-F-T and the local motel owner (Larry Fessenden) can’t find his cats. Or why Adam Driver keeps breaking the fourth wall. He and Cliff keep hearing a song on the radio, titled “The Dead Don’t Die” and sung by real-life star Sturgill Simpson. Why do they hear it over and over? “Well, ’cause it’s the theme song,” says Adam Driver, who also has a Star Wars keychain.”
