    Survival of the Dead

    "In an us-versus-them world, someone puts up a flag, another person tears it down and puts up his own. Pretty soon no one remembers what started the war in the first place and the fighting becomes all about those stupid flags." This week on FRANCHI$ED, hosts Jonathan Foster, Ariane Anantaputri & Fil Freitas enlist in the National Guard, only to find the world goes AWOL (zombies again...) and we are left trying to find a safe haven amongst the dead. Our journeys take us to Plum Island – a weird island off the coast of New England, that is inhabited by two Irish families in the midst of a decades old feud. It's the episode of Season 2, with George A. Romero's SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD (2009). It's the final film in the director's second Dead Trilogy, and sadly, the final film the director would direct before his passing in 2017. This time, Romero – for the first time ever – makes an actual sequel... sort of. The film stars Alan van Sprang as Sergeant "Nicotine" Crockett, who we last saw in Diary of the Dead robbing the poor film students of their supplies, back leading his crew of National Guardsmen into the Apocalypse. Taking influence from William Wyler's The Big Country, Romero places these soldiers into a Hattfields & McCoys-styled Western drama with Zombies. Is this film a fitting end to the storied director's career? Tune in to find out... And don't miss our Season Two Wrap Up episode, released in the feed on the same day this episode drops, where we reveal what we've learned from all these zombie movies and our plans for Season Three – coming in Feb or March 2022!

  2. Diary of the Dead

    Diary of the Dead

    "The more voices there are, the more spin there is. The truth becomes that much harder to find. In the end, it's all just noise." This week on FRANCHI$ED, hosts Jonathan Foster, Ariane Anantaputri & Fil Freitas drop in on a film school horror movie set, only to find the world is suddenly being taken over by the dead. As they try to make it out, one of the annoying film students decides to pull a Blair Witch and film the whole thing. We're here with the penultimate episode of Season 2, with George A. Romero's DIARY OF THE DEAD (2007). It's the second film in the director's second Dead Trilogy, and this time sees Romero taking the zombie film back to the first night, against a more modern lens. Always ahead of his time, Romero also decided to throw his hat into the found footage game, before Paranormal Activity and Cloverfield would re-popularise the genre, has he wanted to explore emerging media and citizen journalism. How does this film hold up 15 years removed from the boom of Myspace and YouTube? Is it already dated, or does it remain underrated and prescient? Tune it to find out...
