Episode 312: Bong of the Dead vs Bong of the Living Dead

The Undead Symphony ·

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...

Send us a text Winter. A fly over of near black trees. The wilderness in winter seen from above and below. From under the show a shirtless man appears. It is Morley Nelsons Dan. Long hair. Blade. 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...

Episode 310: We Bury the Dead (2026)

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...

Send us a text Recording in Progress... 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 ...

Meanwhile, seven archangels attempt to save mankind from evil.... And Michael has gone Han Solo for this one. As Darren talks to Captain Magenta about all things pirate zombie, Michael went off-piste and watched the 2018 French biblical zombie movie ANGELS VERSUS ZOMBIES. Is it PRO-WRESTLERS VERSUS ZOMBIES.

Send us a text The film follows a group of drag queens, club kids, and frenemies who must put aside their personal dramas and use their unique skills to fight the flesh-thirsty undead when a zombie apocalypse breaks out on the night of a giant warehouse party. That is the premise and we start with a spectacular drag queen Yum heading to church to light a candle for Nana before heading out… however she gets a ping on her hookup app and holy moly it is a ripped chunk of Jesus lookalike who bite...

Send us a text We do love our Zom Rom Coms. Shaun of the Dead, Warm Bodies, Life after Beth, Burying the Ex, all good. All funny in their own way. All with their unique charm. 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.

Send us a text After I cover the best (MadS) and worst (Oasis of Zombies) in the intro, giving you the top 5 to watch and bottom 5 to avoid, we watch the New Zealand animated web series Bloke of the Apocalypse by Charlie Faulks. 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

Send us a text There is a comedy zombie boxed set, you may have seen it, you may know it. On it you will find three zombie comedies, the Christmas themed Stalled from the UK, we liked that one, I survived a zombie holocaust from New Zealand starring friend of the podcast Harley Neville, and this… Me and My Mates versus the Zombie Apocalypse from Australia. The premise? During the Australian zombie apocalypse, Darryl (played by Alex Williamson) - a mid-twenties telecom tradesman - and several ...

Send us a text In this episode, the 300th anniversary we go off-topic again. After Dog Soldiers and werewolves in episode 100, Hellraiser in space aka Event Horizon for 200 we are covering The Thing universe. We read, or listen to, Cambell's 1938 source material Who Goes There? before watching the 1951 cold war classic The Thing from Another World, the seminal 1982 John Carpenter The Thing and the 2011 Mary Elizabeth Winstead prequel The Thing.

A country that has delighted us for many years and 2 entries in our top 10 with train to busan and all of us are dead, if we are including tv shows. And they really get it with period shows like Kingdom, and the movie version Rampant, modern series such as Newtopia and Happiness, and mock reality shows like Zombieverse.

Send us a text Take a really good actor, like James Remar, give him a bad script, awful CGI, terrible co-stars and some of the worst green screen I have ever seen, and you end up with a sub-par Remar. And that is what we get in Glowzies, yes, glowing zombies. And it is the sort of glowstick/predator blood glowing too. After an alien goo related incident 30 years earlier a bunch of pointless influencers come to investigate an old steel mill in a Colorado valley. They go to the local diner wher...

2025/12/10

Send us a text One of three DVDs in the Christmas box this year, along with Eat Brains Love and Zombie School, and all three nowhere on any list I have ever created. They were all very randomly found. After watching the Thai Zomvivor (still an awful title despite the show being awesome), I tried to find any South Korean zombie movies I hadn't seen that had good ratings and discovered Zombie School. Unavailable to download in the UK so I got a DVD from Korea. Eat Brains Love based on a novel o...

Send us a text More Thai chaos at the university as the zombies run amok. We have too many characters still and now we learn more about the evil Patron and his evil son Joe. Shall we call them Donald and Don Jnr? Lots of lying from the central family, we learn all the mom in a coma's back story and we also have the most unique element of a zombie story I have seen in a long, long ass time - zombie factions and a hierarchy. Just brilliant really. I went into this show on Netflix thinking I wou...

2025/12/02

Send us a text I am loving this show. It may not be at the height of some zombie cinema, it isn't better than All of Us Are Dead, but it ain't far from it. I was skeptical after seeing over 30 pretty Thai boys and girls on the poster. And there a lot of characters. A lot of red shirts. A lot of extras to be eaten. Although, that being said, the deaths are getting more and more from the main cast now. I have to contradict the IMDB reviewer who said there was nothing new here. There actually is...

Episode 293: Zomvivor intro and part 1

The Undead Symphony ·

2025/11/30

Send us a text There are over 30 characters on the poster for this Thai Netflix effort, and none of them are zombies. That's right, it is a Bangkok university based zombie outbreak story with effectively half a dozen boy bands all vying for the attention of 3 girls - the bright top of the class Ning, the arrogant actress Lily and the morbid goth Prau. The guys all have slightly different outfits and haircuts, a la battle of the Asian boy bands however, that being said, it's alright. After one...
