Midnight Podcast Episode 160
Zombie carnage ensues this week as I welcome 2 special guests to the show: James Melzer, author of The Zombie Chronicles and fellow podcaster; and Shaun Robert Smith, creator of zombie short The Soldier (watch it here) and director of the upcoming Nazi zombie film The 4th Reich.
Apocalypse Dan returns for another installment of Survival 101, talking about everyone’s favorite survival item: duct tape. Brian in Colorado reviews some winter beer, and CarnageCake tells us what he thought about Resident Evil: Degeneration (2008). Vaughn from Motion Picture Massacre also sent over his review of Colin (2008). I review the episode of Medium entitled “Bite Me,” which aired just before Halloween and featured scenes from Night of the Living Dead (1968). I also review Deadlands: The Rising (2006) and the newly-released Deadlands 2: Trapped (2008), and DJ Frenchy also calls in his thoughts about both Deadlands movies.
Read my National Novel Writing Month attempt here. Yeah, it’s got zombies in it.
Thanks to Benglish from The Armchair Quarterbacks for sending the song “Re: Your Brains.” You rock!
