About this episode

The episode discusses the 1978 horror film 'Dawn of the Dead' and its significance in the zombie genre.

Malls . . . uh . . . hmmm, that's a tricky one. Malls are no longer the lively, vibrant organisms they once were, after all. The few remaining malls that haven't been torn down shuffle around on rotting legs in a desperate search for sustenance, you might even say the shopping mall has become something like a . . . zombie? That's right, dear listeners, today we are returning to the undead apocalypse by tackling what many would argue represents the absolute zenith of the genre: Dawn of the Dead, a 1978 horror film directed by father of the modern zombie George Romero. Dawn's reputation is that of a bigger, better version of its legendary predecessor, but will Nathan and Elliot shop til they drop in the delights of this carnivorous classic, or will they condemn the movie to hell, regardless of the "no vacancy" sign on the gate? Lock and load and guard your fleshy bits, let's get into it!
