Watching Zoran tower over everyone who worked on these films is great haha

[@twinswords79dualblade84]

It really is crazy how tall he is XD

Everyone except Bert lol!

[@destranger145]

I love your videos.

[@TribbianiVR]

When James says “Be Good People” im like “Aww will do James” When Burt says “Be Good People” im like “YES SIR!”

[@Lutherstrode17492]

If James is like the cool dad, then Zoran is like the enthusiastic uncle😂

[@jakeywakeysobakey]

Lmaooooo accurate!

[@riverkath]

Yeah, Zoran’s like the uncle who will let you eat ice cream before dinner.

[@maninblue88]

I couldn't agree more!

[@smokeymcbongwater]

​@@riverkathwhy can I actually see him doing that 😂

[@JarenceThatShowerGuy]

Man. You can tell Zoran was having the time of his life being in a festival that celebrates a franchise dearest to his heart. Thank you so much for the lovely highlight vid of TREMORS FEST 2023, DeadMEAT Team!! Also, it's such a treat to see the one and only BERT GUMMER right next to the BIGGEST BERT GUMMER fan/Man of BIXBY. 💖💖💖

[@TheTremorsSaga]

Zoran was like a kid in a candy store the whole weekend. Such a delight to witness. (Though the biggest Burt Gummer fan was in Texas that weekend but he has plans to attend next year 😘 )

[@Segwo]

this felt like it was only 5 minutes to watch. It was such a joy

[@TheTremorsSaga]

@@Segwo Zoran got a good 20 minutes of interviews with each of the guests that we wouldn't mind seeing an extended cut of. 😀

[@crocandfalls]

Having Michael Gross shout “BIXBY” and say “Be good people” is something I never knew I needed.

[@SavageP.9000]

I love how even to this day, Michael still cares for his character and is not afraid to come back. We love you Michael!

[@omegansmiles]

Michael would do Tremors til he died. No joke. He stayed waaaaaaaaay longer than he needed/should've on the first night of the Fest because he was so enthusiastically caught up in reminiscing with all the fans.

[@niemanickurwa]

@@omegansmiles Most actors even A-listers, don't get to create an iconic character. He seems to understand that.

[@StormDatIsApproaching]

Zoran is out here living the life! Can't believe George RR Martin of all people is now tied to the Tremors fandom, but it's somehow in character

[@BrokenHomePoets]

I love the Tremors community

[@TheTremorsSaga]

We love you! ❤️

[@boxkid759]

Why

[@pusheenqueen519]

I absolutely love when people come together over a relatively niche thing and just geek out over it. ❤ I'm not even a huge fan of Tremors franchise but this looks like so much fun!

[@BrokenHomePoets]

@@boxkid759 Because the movies are near and dear to my heart

[@omegansmiles]

It's pretty darn great. 😃

[@juliogomez2534]

Getting the crew to go in on the Bixby joke for us was amazing thanks a lot Zoran, I gotta say I never enjoy much of the movies past 2 but your enthusiasm has made me a fan of the whole series.

[@GoldieXBL]

Burt Gummer saying “Be good people” is too cool. Brought a tear to my eye to see something come full circle for Zoran. Geez I’m getting old and soft 😂

[@bigbaddwolf90]

James is like an older brother, and Zoran is his friend that you're always excited to see come over.

[@mat2093]

Glad to see -zoran finally met his grandpa burt

This is amazing! Getting to see all 7 films on the big screen, interviewing the directors, meeting Micheal Gross himself, and just having the time of his life. Thank you for getting me into this franchise. I'm so glad there's such a huge dedicated community.

[@padtrickkeys3261]

Seeing Zoran Just Being A Happy Tremors Fan Brings A Smile On My Face. Honestly So Happy For Him To Interview All Them Amazing People.

[@williamheng4801]

GUMMERRRRRR BURT GUMMERRRR Doin’ what he can with what he got

OH I wish I could be there for this. A Tremors fan fest sounds like a load of fun.

[@TheTremorsSaga]

See you next year!

[@no1uknugamingchannel]

It was cool seeing Don Michael Paul get to justify snow for sand 😂😄 Pretend it's Snow!!!!!! ❄️🌨️

[@laurajames9379]

I always miss James when he takes a (well deserved) break but Zoran really is a great host to take over during those times, I always love the enthusiasm he brings to each video , I find him so charming and genuine. Good work Zoran 🤘🏼 Also, watching him try to contain himself around Burt Gummer is great 😂

[@uzielyanez5975]

Zoran meeting Michael Gross for the first time makes me happy for some reason. Also, Michael Gross saying "Be good people" also puts a smile on my face. 😊

[@lancearnold54]

7:55 Zoran finally meets Michael Gross AKA Burt "Graboid Slayer" Gummer

[@jeremiahthompson1657]

I love tremors so much Michael Gross seems like the most nicest guy ever to meet!

[@TheCommenterDragon]

Zoran you are so lucky you got to attend such a historical cinematic event, If any film franchise deserves to have convention it's definitely the Tremors franchise and watching you interview some of the cast and crew of the films was a real treat!!!

[@Silver_Coin_Outdoors]

All of them seem so humble, polite, and happy to talk in depth about the movies & acting.

[@omegansmiles]

Seriously. Not a bad bone in the bunch. Just a kind group of people happy to make Tremors fans' day.

[@darth_indominus6615]

I literally just watch all seven of the Dead meat tremors videos, which are my favorite of the series!This is uncanny! Thanks for all yall do for this channel, James is the best, Zoran is the best, this whole channel and all who work in it is the best, can't wait to see more!

[@fournierman]

It really looks like Zoran had a lot of fun! Probably similar to when I went to my first horror convention in 2010 and met most of the cast from A Nightmare On Elm Street 3.

[@evanlinden4410]

Awesome that even though Zoran hated the sand for snow, he was genuinely interested in the reasoning behind it And the director was a good sport

[@omegansmiles]

Dude, Don Michael Paul is a fan-damn-tastic sport. When I told him how much I've trashed him on the podcast over the years, he gave me his phone number so I could do it to his face. Then he showed up the other night to a LIVE episode just to prove his knowledge. That man is a giant amongst Tremors fans.

[@zexter33]

Tremors is ridiculous underrated

[@bobbyg.745]

When this movie came to VHS, I rented it for a weekend while staying with my Dad. We watched it and then rewound it and watched it again, then again. 3 times in one night! Just this past weekend, I watched it again...the original never gets old and I do truly hold this movie dear to my heart as well. One of the greatest Creature Features ever put on film!

[@ShearDouchbaggery]

Hearing Michael Gross say be good. People at the end was absolutely worth it

[@KwikTripCryptid]

I'm so sad I'm just NOW finding out about Tremors Fest. Hopefully they are able to make it an annual event and if they ever bring it over to the Midwest, they're more than welcome to come and host in Milwaukee! Tremors was (and still is) my favorite movie franchise growing up and I can't tell you how much it would mean to me if I could go to a Tremors event like this.

[@omegansmiles]

If I have any say on it, this is only the beginning! Kaitlin and I drove over 20 hours to get there. A little closer to home would be nice.

[@theoneandonly9775]

You know you hear so many stories of fans from whatever being the worst. And the fans are more often then not some of the worst parts about a product. But at the same time they are also some of the best parts. This reminded me of how passionate fans are and how much enthusiams is in every project. Not only fans but the people working there aswell. Hope you had a great time and fingers cross that it will return

[@omegansmiles]

Tremors fans are the best at doing what we can with what we got.

[@theoneandonly9775]

@@omegansmiles Amen to that

[@Tea5869]

This is awesome! Glad to see the Tremors community come together and celebrate this franchise as a whole on the big screen!

[@ajzekind]

Getting a Zoran-voiced Blue Bunny ad before a Zoran-filled video might just make this one of the luckiest Fridays I have had in years.

[@convictartist]

This is so awesome to see! Zoran having so much overt glee doing this warms my heart :)

[@FrostyTheNightmare]

Seeing Zoran with the cast is like seeing Spider-Man meet Ironman for the first time

[@RebelNick07]

The fact that Michael Gross said the famous closing line that we see in almost all dead meet videos “be good people” is the best

[@davidzea-smith1417]

I really hope one day we could get "Tremors 8: IN SPACE" with a subplot about Burt Gummer for president.

[@TheTremorsSaga]

Don and Share Stallings talked about how the idea has been discussed behind the scenes. Never say never!

[@jeffs.6763]

Wish I was there. Tremors 2 was my favorite outside of the original.

[@dylancastellanos87]

Zoran seems enthusiastic, a little nervous and a little awkward. Such an entertaining and endearing video. Also, i never realized how tall he is. But he's pretty much towering over almost everyone.

[@mackderpants]

Real good stuff Zoran and team. The fun you’re having is super evident on screen, and that means a lot.

[@BlueScarabGuy]

This seems like it was a fantastic time, hopefully it becomes a tradition, and maybe Kevin Bacon will decide to grace it with his presence. And yeah, I'd never really thought about it, but it must have been a tremendously special experience to see Tremors 2-4 on a theater screen, something they've never been given the luxury of before. That explosion at the end of Aftershocks ALONE!

[@saraf5455]

Didn't even know this was a thing, looks like so much fun!

[@finnfiasco]

I love this channel so much. No matter who’s hosting, the passion is just so infectious and uplifting, which is funny considering the grisly nature of the films at times. Thanks for your hard work, guys!

[@MariaGM717]

What a cool and lovely man Michael Gross is!!! Love him and love the Tremors saga, I really hope this Tremors fest keeps happening and thank you Zoran and Deadmeat for showing us!!!

[@chibigirl232]

Columbus, Ohio would be an awesome place! We even have a railroad museum for them to check out!

How fun! I'm such a big fan of this franchise. Love that it has this kind of following.

Other than the white hair, Michael Gross does not age! This looked like a lot of fun and if it happens next year I would love to travel to wherever it ends up!

[@michaelclark831]

This was a delightful and awesome video. This looked like an awesome event. Amazing to hear the cool stories and memories from all those interviewed. Well done! Great Job as usual by the Dead Meat folks! I hope you guys get to go to more events like this and do more great videos. Thanks again for all the great content!

[@nicklecrack]

You got Burt to say Be Good People! ❤

[@markittystuff]

Zoran, through you I'm living my best tremors life! I just- like- you never think of other people loving the things you love as much as you love them and it's so friggin' cool that you and so many others love this weird ip about land sharks. This video was a treat and I can't think of anyone better to be host for it other than you Zoran. Great work guys! And HEARING MICHAEL GROSS SAY 'BUT WE DIDN'T SEE A BODY' tease is just BRING HIM BACK!

[@tksharkbait]

I was at the Tremors 30th Anniversary Con in Lone Pine- it was amazing. Truly awesome. Great to meet other fans, the actors, the crew. I'd love to go to one in Santa Fe someday!

[@bobbykeniston7240]

That looks like a great time with some great people. It must be so rewarding that, through your hosting of the Kill Counts, you have become part of the entire "Tremors" history, the Tremors zeitgeist, if you will. That's a very cool thing.

[@xxkori123xx]

As an editor, I relate to his comment about feeling so uncomfortable on sets. I usually end up doing DIT work so I'm still around and I always feel like I'm in the way or need to be doing something to help. Then I end up in a little corner somewhere never saying a word and people forget I'm even part of the crew. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

[@Leosloth2011]

What movies have you done

[@HalloweenYearRound]

Zoran is just in heaven at Tremors Fest! If they bring it to the East Coast, I'll be there!

Seeing all 7 films on the big screen sounds awesome! Wish I could have been there.

If they make another Tremors film, (or Tremors adjacent), they need to give Zoran a cameo. I have zero doubt his enthusiasm for the franchise helped introduce it to a ton of younger meaties. ✨BIXBY✨
