Episode Description

It's PEOPLE HUNTIN' WEEK on Coolest Alive! Bringing you 5 Days of Humans Hunting Humans, continuing with the chaotic cult comedy "The Pest"! John Leguizamo plays a fast-talking con man who agrees to be hunted for $50,000 by a deranged German aristocrat, portrayed by the late Jeffrey Jones. Released by TriStar Pictures, it turns the deadly-hunt premise into manic cartoon absurdity, slapstick survival instead of suspense, John Leguizamo's Pest is as to a Puerto Rican Ace Ventura. It remains one of the most divisive '90s comedies ever made, but NOT to the Coolest Man Alive! Join Jesse Blaze Snider as he explains exactly why... they're ALL WRONG!
