    Army of the Dead (2021)

    (S03E01) Justin and Darci boldly embark on a new journey — we're reviewing films based (loosely) on their relevance to COVID! We open with Zach Snyder's 'Army of the Dead', in which a crew of working class heroes rob a Las Vegas casino during a zombie apocalypse. Is it good? (No.) Beware — contains spoilers and good times.
