He mentioned it on his radio show once, said the character was called American Joe (I think) but he couldn’t do the accent so they just changed his name to Liverpool Joe instead.

Nearly the exact same thing happened with the Last Human audiobook.

What, Lister was going to be called American Joe in Last Human?

So this film is now Free to Prime members (sitting through 2 minutes of adverts first) in the UK. So I attempted to watch it…
Here’s a few words so you don’t have to suffer as much as I did!!  … It’s shit. Don’t bother.  
…
But… If like me you happen to be a dwarf fan that’s a bit curious about what we all expected to be a trash B movie I think. Then read on perhaps. It’s 2 out 10 if it’s trying to be like things like Sean of the dead. It’s not a zombie movie, more a supernatural slasher tale its not even a Temu version of “Prey” it fails to be anything near Fargo or Twin peaks in it small US town law man narrative. It’s just too dam wacky, low budget, terrible acting, writing misguided at times, moronic comedy. 
Then Craig isn’t so bad in his scenes, as Old Joe a scouser who married a Native American woman who’s since passed on, so he has become a wind talker in her Traditions, sitting wisely whittling in his rocking chair. Barely appearing in first 40 minutes, he becomes a sarcastic reluctant hero in the films last half hour of its short 76 minutes (Still too long!) 
Craig gets an executive credit, and only really interacts with one actor, the sherif character, so you get a glimpse of a film that could have been a 4 out 10 spoof of things like cabin in the woods had they had more money or talent. 
Still curious, then Craig is in first 4 minutes* and short chair scenes at 19, 28 and 45 minute mark. But really skip the terrible side characters stuff and watch the wood show down with the films axe monster thing, as Old Joe & The Sherif survive in the wild from the 50 Minute mark.  
* Smile and think of Bodyswap. 
Leave the film in a Cherokee burial mound, never return.

My free Prime membership (that I activate and immediately cancel once every couple of years when I buy something off Amazon) just expired, tragically.

Reminds me of Hattie and Craig in that show Lexx, where everyone had American accents except Craig, who’s still Liverpudlian. You could kinda guess that Craig maybe couldn’t do a good American accent, and they just said ah whatever.
