Episode 52 marks ONE YEAR of weekly podcasts from your kind hosts! To celebrate, we are talking about Lucio Fulci’s 1979 “Zombie”. Or “Zombie 2”. Or “Zombi”. Maybe ”Zombie Flesh Eaters”…aww, just pick one! Fulci wanted to make a sequel to Romero’s “Dawn of the Dead”, so he just did. Pretty much.
For years, this was Will’s favorite Zombie movie. For years, Richard thought he had seen this but hadn't. For all of those years, Jolyon was madly researching and mentally filing away facts about the classic. So, for our dear listeners, this means a typical episode! But it’s not all about the living dead. You’ll hear about that time Will was eating lunch and was suddenly surrounded by clowns! Since Jolyon decapitates clowns as a matter of safety, they lucked out that he wasn’t there! You’ll hear about ways to work the system of a “31 Days of Halloween” movie challenge. You’ll find out whether “Crime Wolf” is really a movie, or just made up, like “Rob Zombie’s Air Bud 7; the Quickening”.
Can New York cops be bribed with Italian Lire? Can Jolyon “smell this movie”? Is 13 the perfect age to watch horror movies? Listen and find out!
This is the movie that has everything- 70’s New York in all it’s grime, a nearly naked diver, Conquistador zombies, a zombie fighting a shark (no, really) and even a ghost ship!
So, grab a sardine cupcake, groove to the voodoo drums and help celebrate our birthday. It’s better than a sharp stick in the eye!
