Episode 36
Dawn of the Dead
February 19, 2024
Director: George Romero // Starring: Ken Foree & Gaylen Ross
Bryan and Dave celebrate one year of podcasting with a real deep dive into George Romero's paradigm shifting zombie epic, Dawn of the Dead. In the history of horror movies, there are only a few movies that changed the way movies are made and viewed and this is one of them. It's a zombie survival fantasy set in shopping mall with wild shifts in tone that don't always work and a graphic violence about it that its contemporaries did not share. After this one came out, everybody in Italy was suddenly making zombie horror movies.
