Zachary Roozen, who plays Chad Raines in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, joins hosts Chris Cantore and Noor Razooky, his on-screen partner, for a behind-the-scenes look at life inside the killer tomato universe.

Zach shares his journey from making home movies with his cousins in Minnesota to film school at USC and years as a "surviving actor," and how he landed the role even after Costa Dillon told him he wasn't the first choice. He and Noor relive the chaotic night they had to learn the movie's big dance number just hours before shooting, reveal what it's really like acting opposite puppets, and share the moment a box of old Polaroids turned up on set. Plus, Zach plays "Rename the Movie" and pitches a sequel that gets a little saucy...

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence is available now to rent or buy on Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Fandango at Home, and more.
