Welcome to The Wild Card Podcast! This is episode 66 of our attempt at this whole podcasting thing!! Today's episode features: Jared Eaton bruising his knuckles punching a post (he wants you to know that he dented it), Jeff Curtis demanding satisfaction for his besmirched honor, and Ron Blair lasagna-ing the butter and salt onto his popcorn in the most heavenly way! Throughout the episode, you'll hear the three of us discuss such varied topics as: the way this podcast is about Halloween and the season that only seem to last four days - Autumn, our favorite movie-going experiences, the duel to the death between Ron and Jeff (or maybe Jared and Drake), how all of the things we've said in the previous episodes are mildly untrustworthy, and occasionally we part from our tangents to discuss the second episode in Ron's Halloween triptych: the history of zombies! We look his the origin of the word, we discuss their connection to religion and culture, we analyze their portrayal in movies and pop culture, and get into heated debates about what characteristics they do and do not have. Join us on this journey to wherever and we're sure that you'll be given new life by our Phantasmic Podcast!!

P.S. “To me, the best zombie movies aren’t the splatter fests of gore and violence with goofy characters and tongue in cheek antics. Good zombie movies show us how messed up we are, they make us question our station in society… and our society’s station in the world. They show us gore and violence and all that cool stuff too… but there’s always an undercurrent of social commentary and thoughtfulness.”
