Episode 322: Silent Night, Zombie Night

2026/02/15

Send a text We have had zombie outbreaks whilst on international flights, we have had zombie outbreaks at a wedding, at a school trip to a petting zoo, and here, we have a bad daytime TV soap opera affair story, set in LA, at Christmas during the zombie apocalypse. The menage-a-trois, complete with daytime TV soap piano, and awful dialog is between overly macho and difficult asshole cop Frank Talbot, his yoyoing wife Sarah who goes between Frank and his younger more handsome, but clearly mora...

Episode 321: The Curse of Hobbes House (2020)

2026/02/11

Send a text "For a horror movie "The Curse of Hobbes House" was just unfathomably devoid of anything remotely scary." Hm. 2020 British, only 3.4/10 on IMDB. Hm. The blurb is that “two estranged sisters visit their ancestral home and are confronted by an ancient curse of the undead following a storm.” The Horror Society, who I rate. wrote about this one that... " this is not a gory flick that most genre fans are looking for. We get some make up effects and a few splashes of blood but nothing t...

Send a text And so we are back at it. As I mentally prepare myself to watch the potentially abysmal The Curse of Hobbes House, Michael and I catch up to talk about the zombie entertainment we have seen recently, and what we plan to see in the coming weeks. Michael needs to finish the Netflix Resident Evil series, Daisy Ridley's We Bury the Dead and then move onto the first season of Black Summer. And from there we look forward to season 2 of All of Us Are Dead on Netflix with the first season...

Send us a text So just to make sure, this isn’t Red Planet, with Carrie Anne Moss, Val Kilmer, Terrence Stamp, Simon Baker, Tom Sizemore and Benjamin Bratt. That is very different. Robot dog going nuts. As is the Ghosts of Mars the Ice Cube, Jason Statham, Pam Grier effort. That was demonic possession by, I wanna say, the previous inhabitants. This is Liev Schreiber, Elias Koteas and Olivia Williams with space zombies. Yeah. SPACE ZOMBIES! The 8 ma crew is looking for life on Mars. There is a...

Episode 318: Resident Evil (Parts 7 and 8)

The Undead Symphony ·

2026/02/07

Send us a text There were moments in this show where I really loved it. I thought Lance Reddick as Wesker was inspired. Paola Núñez's unhinged Evelyn Marcus too grew on me. It has tension, and the dual story lines of the teens learning more about Umbrella in New Raccoon City and the post apocalyptic world would, and I stress that word, WOULD have been great IF we had seen the end of the world, IF we had seen why Jade thinks Billie died, and the T-virus spreading across the planet. If an...

2026/02/02

Send us a text In 2022 Constantin the production company behind the Paul WS Anderson and Milla Jovovic movies worked with the asshats at Netflix to create this show that has literally nothing to do with the movies, or Welcome to Racoon City, the movie reboot of the year before. It follows Jade and Billie Wesker as teens as the outbreak is about to happen after their dad, Albert Wesker (brilliant played by the much loved and missed Lance Reddick) and his evil boss and daughter of the original ...

Episode 314: 28 Years Later The Bone Temple Addendum

The Undead Symphony ·

2026/01/28

Send us a text So I saw 28 Years Later The Bone Temple and, unlike it's prequel, I loved it. This is the movie we all wanted 28 Years Later to be from Jim to the old theme tune, to villains getting their comeuppance, to the virus not only being the red eyed blood spewed rage virus we loved, but also some progress in its study and cure. I would question how a bicycle courier has somehow become a history teacher (that bit was stolen from the History Boys), and how Jonno was turned with a simple...

Send us a text Michael has gone rogue, going to not only watch 28 Years Later The Bone Temple but also he recorded an episode of the podcast whilst Darren writes and appears in The Fallen Diaries episode 1. Questions will be answered, including but not limited to: Does Michael like the look and feel of prosthetic penises? Has he ever joined a cult? Did Jimmy Savile fix it for him? What other BBC presenters and DJs does he think could be pedophiles? And many many more. Check out his revi...

2026/01/20

Send us a text The things I do for you fucking people. Where am I going with this? Well, since We Bury the Dead and Uncontained, both decent movies, with the Daisy Ridley effort immediately cementing itself in my top 50 zombie movies, we are back on the slippery downward slope with this one – Bong of the Living Dead, not to be confused with Bong of the Dead, although, yes, for you dear listeners I am watching Both! Yes both! The 2011 Canadian movie BONG of the Dead, where Although the world i...

Ominous music. Morley Nelson writes, directs and stars as Dan a bit of a cliché, former spec ops soldier who found the woman of his dreams, and then lost her and their baby, kinda thing. And Dan is confused and lost in the snow as he stumbled upon 7 year old Jack and cute as a button 2 year old Brook...

2026/01/15

Send us a text I have been waiting for this one for a year. Or so it seems. It has certainly taken its sweet ass time in coming but finally I get to cross off Daisy Ridley's We Bury The Dead. The story follows American Ava (Ridley) as she heads to Tasmania after a US weapon of mass destruction accidentally wipes out the entire population of half a million people. Ridley's husband Mitch was there for a work thing, and she wants to find him/his body. We learn though, as she is volunteers with t...

Episode 309: The Zom Rom Com episode

The Undead Symphony ·

2026/01/12

Send us a text There are sub-genres within the horror sub-genre of zombie horror, oh yes there is. Other then the obvious, the apartment survival horror, the South Korean zombie horror there is this, the romantic comedy set in the zombie apocalypse. And if you think that Shaun of the Dead was probably the first, and Warm Bodies is likely the best example, it is a good segue into the genre if you have a reluctant partner who doesn't want to see Zombie Flesh Eaters on date night. There ar...

2026/01/11

Send us a text It is battle of the shit biscuits tonight as I pit Amazon against TUBI, the slop bucket of cinema versus the cesspool of slime with Night of the Living Dead Resurrection and Deadlocked. What can I say about Night of the Living Dead Resurrection on Amazon, a Welsh movie that tries to steal as much from Romero's 1969 classic as possible whilst retaining nothing? A movie that ends with the line "throw her in the rape van" when the zombie apocalypse literally started the day before...

Kirk, Birdseye, Scarlet and Stabbin, we know a few captains, but in this episode I finally get to talk to friend of the pod Captain Magenta, the only Captain that matters. We talk his first, last, best and worst zombie movies. He tells us what he really thinks of the 28 Years Later ending and Jimmy Savile, and why he loves South Korean zombies the most. We give him a shortlist of new movies to watch, and new TV shows and we have just come off the ...

And then there is this... 2014, Night of the Living Deb. It stars Maria Thayer as the incredibly awkward, infuriatingly so at times, Deb, and Michael Cassidy (Jimmy Olsen in Batman v Superman and Sgt Kelly in Army of the Dead) as organic produce eating, bike riding, eco-friendly traditionally handsome Ryan.

It was quirky in an early Adult Swim way, and I enjoyed it so much I wish there was more. 5/10 watchable for sure
