2025/04/24

Send us a text A solo episode from Michael this time around, other than me interjecting with a HOW DARE YOU! We split to watch Zombie Repellent (Me and a 5/5 in Amazon) and Zombies Christmas Apocalypse (Michael and a 2/10 on IMDB). Was it fair? Well, no. But hey ho! All is fair in love and zombie warz.

Episode 209: Zombie Repellent (2024)

The Undead Symphony ·

2025/04/15

Send us a text One of the new zombie movies and shows on Amazon, this and the Zombies Christmas Apocalypse, and Newtopia. Gets a staggering 5/5 but we know that Amazon scoring is a shit show. This one would have been better as a drama than a comedy, as none of the actors really have the comedy chops. However, it was watcheable. A big twist, which again, would have been better if this was a drama than a comedy. The story? I kinda hate to say I liked it. It wasn't a 5/5, it was a 5/10 but that ...

Send us a text Ollie and I are more than friends, we are a really, really small gang. Technically 2 is the minimum number of people needed for a gang. And so here we are talking all things zombies, including our first, last, worst and best, sleeper hits, we play the expanded Virus or Voodoo or Aliens, and spitball ideas for his Discord writing collective. Give it a listen. Or else... or else we will tape you down on a chair and force you to watch Zombie with a Shotgun on loop. A movie so bad ...

No real agenda, more a chat about what we have seen and liked, what we have seen and didn't like, what we are looking forward to, and what we've been up to and future plans. We also take the top 25 or so most recognizable TV and movie zombies to get to a consensus of our top 3. It's relaxed. Come get relaxed with us. And if you are very, very good, we will let you si...

Send us a text Die Alone is a 2024 Canadian horror thriller film written and directed by Lowell Dean. The film stars Carrie-Anne Moss, Douglas Smith, and Frank Grillo. It tells the story of a young man with amnesia who joins forces with a hardened survivalist during a zombie like outbreak, as they set out to find his missing girlfriend. And fortunately for us, it is on AMAZON at the moment, so saves me wading through the DVD cesspool I have at the moment. People have likening it to Meme...

Now this is THE DEAD NEXT DOOR 1989 written, produced and directed by JR Bookwalter. His debut too. And he did the soundtrack… another one of those Steph described this as another from the bargain bin 2/10… which is a really bad sign… The blurb is that In the near future, the world falls victim to a plague of violent carnivorous undead humans, and a black-ops elite team of soldi...

Send us a text Our 200th episode and the end of season 6 of the podcast. It is a like a gender reveal party, but rather than blue or pink powder it is just blood and guts in pletiful supply. Before the Resident Evil series Paul WS Anderson actually made decent movies, starting with Shopping starring Jude Law he went onto making the popular first Mortal Kombat, the one with Christopher Lambert as Raiden. And then came this, 1997, and it was, as Darren describes it "Hellraiser in Space." ...

Stay on track… But no, I saw REC4 Apocalypse back in Episode 62, and in Episode 139 we saw the second of the US Quarantine movies. REC and Quarantine are virtually the same film. But yeah, I get it, I am all over the place, but what are you going to do about it?

Send us a text Cannibal Apocalypse… 1980 so right in my wheelhouse when it comes to the classics. John Saxon, a man with a stalwart wig that managed to endure movies with Bruce Lee and Freddy Kreuger. Came from nowhere really. I don’t know what prompted me to find it. But find it I did. I think it was referenced in another movie I saw recently, the write up for it anyway. And I got this on DVD. Why? To send to our pod sister across the pond, Steph at listeners of the dead.

Daylights End, 2016, After a plague turns a huge section of humanity into bloodthirsty creatures, a drifter finds few survivors and reluctantly decides to help them.

And I had been putting off watching it for the pod as I had until I appeared on BPs Let's Talk Horror Channel the other night. BP is watching and reviewing movies this year that he believes aren't getting the credit they deserve. He and I talked Cooties, but he also talked Overlord and it prompted me to watch it today.

Send us a textAnd onto resident evil extinction, part 3 of the franchise that we are working our way through. We will watch the movies, then Welcome to Racoon City the reboot and the Netflix show. But before that, this is the 3rd movie on the bounce and it admittedly my favourite, and think that is because it is no longer hamstrung by being tied to the games, and therefore has to play to the audience of gamers. It can just be a movieIt opens as the first movie does with Alice in the shower wa...
