    Episode 179: Undead

    Send us a textThe 2003 Australian Undead is one of the many movies marketed at the SHAUN OF THE DEAD FROM (insert country). We have seen many of them, Go Goa Gone from India, Juan of the Dead from Cuba, New Zealand's I Survived a Zombie Holocaust starring friend of the pod Harley Neville and, of course, the awful American Dead and Breakfast. You know I hate that one, despite it having Oz Perkins, Jeremy Sisto, Diedrich Bader and David Carradine.The interesting thing about Undead being classed...

    Episode 178: The Walking Dead: Dead City

    Send us a textIt just a 3 hour episode of the Walking Dead with Negan and Maggie heading off without the others, and into Manhattan. What else is there? I mean, acting is good, writing was good, a few decent twists, too many of TWD equivalents of the red shirts in Star Trek, nameless victims. I don't believe the writers of any of the Walking Dead shows can write for children. They are either mute, even when up to a teen, or a brat. My niece is 3 and won't STFU, so goodness knows why they...

    Episode 176: Apocalypse Z : The Beginning of the End

    Send us a textSpanish, based on a trilogy of books and new on Amazon, I was excited for this one. The trailer looked great, and boy, did it not disappoint.In what I think of as a top 20 worthy zombie movie, certainly the best new zombie entertainment I have seen since Last of Us, and before that, All of Us Are Dead. This had it all, a decent led character who wasn't invincible and overly macho, great writing, great acting, superb camera work, great tension. It looked and felt like it was the ...

    Episode 175: Zombies Diaries 2 World of the Dead

    Send us a textMy issue with this movie was not the plot. It was basic, but it was fair. Zombie outbreak, I am guessing the zombie outbreak from the original 2006 movie that cost £8100 to make and made £2M at the box office, and soldiers holed up at a camp. The country is going to be fire bombed scorched earth style, and they are told on the radio to get to a camp on the coast before heading to the Netherlands.Ok, plot holes and stupidity. Just find another boat. Use vehicles. Use the humvees ...
