    New Horror Movies Ep. 193: Dead Man Still Walking - Forgive Us All (2025)

    It's alive (not dead) but inhabiting a post-apocalyptic western! Jay of the Dead's New Horror Movies presents another episode of your favorite zombie movie podcast, Dead Man Still Walking — also known as Dr. Kyle Bishop. In this 67th edition, Dr. Bishop heads to post-apocalyptic New Zealand for an examination of Forgive Us All (2025), writer-director Jordana Stott's low-budget, Western-inflected infection narrative. Kyle considers the film's striking landscapes, strong emotional performances, and its central concerns with trauma, survivor's guilt, redemption, and sacrifice. But does a film with remarkably few zombies still earn its zombie-movie credentials? Dr. Walking Dead examines the feral infected, the story's human conflict, its uneasy moral choices, and an effectively frightening final act. Saddle up for a somber little frontier tale with horses, shootouts, a desperate race for a cure, and zombies waiting in the woods. Note: This episode contains spoilers for Forgive Us All (2025), and it was recorded on November 13, 2025. Also, to view ALL of Dr. Bishop's Dead Man Still Walking solocast episodes can USE THIS LINK.

    New Horror Movies Ep. 192: Dead Man Still Walking - Marvel Zombies (2025)

    Happy Halloween this month! Jay of the Dead's New Horror Movies presents another special edition of Dead Man Still Walking, the Zombie Movie Podcast with Dr. Walking Dead. This time, Dr. Kyle Bishop welcomes guest Jay of the Dead to tackle Marvel's animated, four-part Marvel Zombies (2025). Though the series has the cumulative length and continuous plot of a feature film, its connection to What If…? leaves both hosts initially bewildered—and wondering why a story with "Zombies" in its title expects viewers to arrive with so much Marvel homework completed. Dr. Bishop and Jay discuss the series' high-concept zombie mythology, including the quantum-virus outbreak, red-eyed undead under Scarlet Witch's control, and superpowered zombies who retain startlingly useful skills. They examine its blend of siege narrative, road-trip narrative, Marvel comedy, graphic animated violence, and increasingly kaleidoscopic superhero action. Along the way, they praise several returning voice performers, debate whether the series is truly satisfying zombie fare, celebrate some remarkably inventive undead kills, and explain why the finale earns its dark ending. Note: This episode reveals major plot spoilers from "Marvel Zombies" (2025) and related Marvel properties.

    New Horror Movies Ep. 189: Dead Man Still Walking - Burial Ground (1981) and Oasis of the Zombies (1982)

    It's alive … still. Well, more or less. Dead Man Still Walking, the Zombie Movie Podcast brought to you by Dr. Walking Dead Kyle Bishop, takes a double-feature plunge into early-1980s European zombie cinema. This time, Dr. Bishop examines Andrea Bianchi's Italian splatter oddity Burial Ground (1981) alongside Jesús Franco's desert-set Nazi-zombie snoozer, Oasis of the Zombies (1982). First, Dr. Walking Dead finds surprising merit in Burial Ground, a gory, Fulci-influenced Italian zombie film full of shambling corpses, graveyard risings, grisly practical effects, and some outrageous storytelling choices. Then, Dr. Bishop turns to Oasis of the Zombies, a supposedly promising tale of undead Nazis guarding lost wartime gold — but one that he finds painfully dull, poorly assembled, and barely worth enduring for its few unsettling zombie images. Which film is a priority stream for gore hounds, and which one should be avoided at all costs? Join Dr. Kyle Bishop for this messy, mordant, and occasionally hilarious expedition into European zombie cinema. Note: This episode contains major plot spoilers for Burial Ground and Oasis of the Zombies.

    New Horror Movies Ep. 188: Oops! All Specialty Segments

    Pour yourself a bowl and sharpen the roof of your mouth because Episode 188 of Jay of the Dead's New Horror Movies is serving Oops! All Specialty Segments — the podcast equivalent of picking every golden Cap'n Crunch square out of the milk and hoarding the berries for last. Jay begins with the perfectly reasonable story of how he once convinced missionary companion Eddie Marquez that he possessed prophetic powers, thanks to a cereal box spotted atop a stranger's refrigerator. From that sacred breakfast revelation springs an entire episode stripped of its usual format and crammed with the Horror Avengers' strangest, funniest, most personal obsessions. These are the segments that prove no corner of Horror is too shadowy, scholarly, slimy, or absurdly specific to investigate. You'll encounter a documentary best entered completely blind, a digital demon limping out of the early Internet, and a ranked menu of dinner scenes guaranteed to ruin your appetite. There is even a debate over whether "King Kong vs. Godzilla" is gloriously goofy or merely terrible (because peace was never an option). Nine Horror Avengers enter the cereal bowl; only the yellow squares have been removed. The result is sweet, jagged, colorful, and likely to leave your ears pleasantly scraped raw. (Ai writing is so weird…) Along the way, the gang travels from silent Swedish dread and South Korean found footage to backwoods cannibals, PG-13 exorcisms, so-called "Elevated Horror," and the urgent cultural necessity of killer-hippo cinema! Jay asks listeners to say "hippopotamus" aloud at work, condemns "Hungry" for making the obvious Hungry Hungry Hippos joke, then immediately asks whether everyone has lost their marbles. Mister Watson breaks bread over 15 disturbing dinner scenes while admitting he cannot confidently explain why No. 12 outranks No. 5. Gillman Joel and Dr. Shock confront "Horrorvision," a movie so baffling that its ending inspires the show's spiritual image: everyone simply limping off into the distance. Yet amid the glorious nonsense, Episode 188 also makes room for genuine heart: Dr. Shock's remembrance of Judith Barsi and a warm, funny tribute to Dave Zee's podcasting career, including the revelation that this entire operation was built on meeting strange men online and that Dave Zee once determined it takes exactly 563 licks to reach the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop. It is an all-you-can-eat buffet of scholarship, tangents, friendship, monsters, marbles, and questionable life choices. This is what happens when Horror fandom is allowed off its leash. Bring a spoon, say grace, and as the part Cajun Gillman Joel says, "Stay swampy."

    New Horror Movies Ep. 187: Dead Man Still Walking - Zombie Lake (1981) with guest Mister Watson

    And here we have another edition of Dead Man Still Walking, *the* Zombie Movie Podcast starring Dr. Walking Dead himself, the distinguished Dr. Kyle Bishop! For this embalmed but exhumed excursion into the murkiest depths of zombie cinema, the good doctor welcomes first-time DMSW guest Mister Watson — a man whose exceptional movie picks have earned him praise from Jay of the Dead. Naturally, Dr. Bishop rewards Watson's exemplary taste by subjecting him to a movie widely considered to be "one of the worst zombie movies ever made": Zombie Lake (1981). Set in a French village roughly 10 years after World War II, "Zombie Lake" concerns a squad of slain German soldiers whose bodies were dumped into a mysterious lake — only for the waterlogged Nazis to rise again and terrorize the townspeople. Also in Episode 187, Dr. Walking Dead and Mister Watson discuss the film's painfully poor makeup, historically questionable uniforms, gratuitous Euro-sleaze, interminable flashback and truly baffling zombie behavior. Are these creatures flesh-eating zombies, blood-drinking vampires or merely undead horndogs with an irresistible attraction to skinny-dippers? And yet, buried beneath the green face paint and woeful execution, our reviewers discover the remains of a potentially compelling movie. The mythology of a lake that demands human sacrifices, a forbidden wartime romance, a zombie father who remembers and protects his daughter, and a community haunted by the consequences of its past all suggest that "Zombie Lake" might deserve that rarest of cinematic opportunities: a remake of a bad movie. Join Dr. Bishop and Mister Watson as they attempt to find intelligent thematic possibilities in a film that stubbornly refuses to contain them!

We also revisit (yet again) that age-old Horror debate about identifying Horror. As usual, we have three Horror-themed Specialty Segments that are running wild: Mackula brings a very special Horror in Black and White review of the Finnish film The White Reindeer (1952). GregaMortis continues his journey through the Showa-era Godzilla films with Godzilla Raids Again (1955) for his Monsters on the Mantle segment. And Gillman Joel and Dr. Shock wade back into the Horror Lagoon for the low-budget, techno-Horror flick Horrorvision (2001). Dr. Walking Dead leads our latest John Kenneth Muir group review with the fascinating cinematic oddity, Equinox (1970). And finally, Jay and Spawn of the Dead close things out with The Final Cut: One for the Road, reviewing Welcome to the Jungle (2007) during Spawn's first remote podcast recording from wild and wonderful West Virginia! Join us, we're spooky!
