Unearth the sociopolitical depths of “Night of the Living Dead” in our latest podcast episode. Leah and Dan invite you to a riveting discussion on the iconic 1968 film and its 1990 remake, where we sift through the black and white terror and the vivid hues of zombie evolution. We’re not just talking about undead brain-eaters; we delve into the human condition, peppering our analysis with humor and personal anecdotes to keep the macabre mood at bay.
We dissect the cultural impact of George Romero’s indie masterpiece, its unintended public domain status, and how this twist of fate propelled a genre to its iconic stature. From the portrayal of race and gender to the zombies’ shift from space radiation victims to flesh-hungry ghouls, we dissect the films’ commentary on society. And let’s not forget about the soundtrack—how does the sweeping orchestral richness of the original stack up against the synthwave style of the remake?
As we wrap our brains around the implications of these films, we don’t shy away from a good debate on the best zombie survival strategies or the eerie allure of a farmhouse besieged by the undead. We ponder over the curious choices made by characters and the eerie, lasting resonance these cinematic tales have with our real-world fears. So grab your barricading tools and tune in for a conversation as lively as the zombies we admire.

hey danger woww episode 39 already nice keep up the good job man
Danger ❤❤❤❤ we need some live streams😊😊😊
Tom savini was the make up guy in dawn. 😂. Also I believe most of the original crew was part of the 90 remake.
The reason the 68 and 90 version are so good is because George did newsreels and then tons of commercials up and through the 68 film’s release.
Also Barbra in 1968 is really freaked out after her brother dies. She just didn’t know how to act in shock lol. 😂
The news reports in 68 scare me they’re so good because George was making newsreels still at that time.
When it came to surviving covid, basic rules and using masks keep me knock on wood infection free. That’s my plan for the zoms. 🎉
Oh don’t tell the citizenship police about the American communist party! Lol.
Also hi leahs mom!
