🌟 Our heroes escape the zombie apocalypse with Dawn of the Dead, George Romero’s legendary cult classic that defined what a zombie movie could be… and what it says about us 🧟♂️🛒🌅
It’s Greg’s pick this week, and it's the first time Andrew has ever seen this movie! So as Andrew digests the weirdness, Greg brings the context and passion, spotlighting why this film became a true midnight movie phenomenon and a rite of passage for horror fans 🧟♂️🎟️🌙 Andrew reacts in real time to the film’s bizarre tone, indie spirit, and the surprising layers of depth beneath all that gore 🧠🩸✨
Together, our heroes dig into the deeper symbolism beneath the story, exploring the consumerism of the mall, the religious allegory, and the way Romero blends social commentary with crowd-pleasing horror 🎬👀🔥 What looks like a zombie movie on the surface reveals itself as a mirror of society, spirituality, and human nature 🧠⛪️✨
So lock the doors, watch the escalators, and get ready to light up the dark, one bite at a time! 🔦🧟♂️🌌
