Reanimated Podcast

Did we Zomvive? Not sure. However, the word on the street is that the show has a second season greenlit, so perhaps we will try to zomvive once more. แล้วเจอกัน

The shine is starting to wear off for the gang they reach the second half of Zomvivors. 

We're just out here, trying to zomvive.

We got to know a few more of the ensemble this week, and just as quickly said goodbye to some characters on this Thai zombie show. 

Reanimated takes a bite out of this Thai show that pits college students against a zombie outbreak in Bangkok.

We talk all about The Bone Temple installment of 28 Years Later this week - spoilers abound!

We finish off season two of Maggie and Negan and learn a lot in the process!

We have a bit of a rant about some of the dumb things that happen in these episodes and then take a step back and marvel at the bones of the meta plot that the writers are clearly developing, but have not executed on yet. 

The journey continues through Manhattan for Negan and Maggie.

Not a great start to Dead City's second season. Hoping the series finds its feet soon. 

We brought in some help in this episode in the shape of our special HBO correspondent Kyle to break down the announced merger between Netflix and Warner Brothers and then we broke down, emotionally, because Marvel Zombies is some hard work, you guys. 

Despite sometimes feeling like a quiz on our collective Marvel knowledge, Reanimated was so happy to finally dig into this show with the first two parts.

The zombie apocalypse meet death drops -- nobody's safe from getting upstaged in Queens of the Dead. 

Indonesian nepobabies face off against undead boomers chasing everlasting life. 10/10.

Join us for a spoiler-filled run down of the latest Guillermo Del Toro film. We share some hot takes in the 5 million scoville range.

Reanimated closes out the balance of Season 3 and we're basically happy with it, but there were some questions and concerns. 

Daryl finds himself in limbo between Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the Seven Samurai and the Indiana Jones franchise in this episode of the show that borrows heavily from great IPs but ultimately feels like it's missing its mojo still.

The show definitely lost a step on this episode. The show runners show their hand in how little they apparently thought about the faction 'Los Primativos' and offer up a completely meaningless sacrificial lamb that feels like a cheap attempt to manipulate the audience.

I don't care what anyone says, this cognac is perfectly drinkable.

Is there any more of that el puerco?

Off to a middling start! Although England gets done dirty in the first episode of the new season of Daryl Dixon, there is some light in this episode thanks to the direction of Daniel Percival who takes time to linger on some good scenes. 

we recap MadS in this episode - all it took was one continuous take, a few lines of red powder and some strong performances to make a pretty cool movie

We head over to the dystopian climate apocalypse unfolding in Bangkok where a Muay Thai fighter elbows and kicks his way through hordes of zombies in an action-packed good time. 

Reanimated put on our Junior Solider pants and watched Operation Undead for this episode of the podcast. This Thai period piece brought a novel approach to the genre, powerful performances and great make-up. 

That's a wrap on the first season of Revival. We stuck it out, despite becoming painfully obvious that this was not a zombie show. Good performances from Melanie Scrofano, Andy McQueen and Steve Ogg made it worthwhile.

The manifold plotlines of Revival continue to writhe and resolve themselves as the season approaches its end. 

Revival still packs a lot of plot into its run time but some of the cracks are starting to show in the production in the late season. 

We heart Ibrahim Ramin & Em gets de-banged this week on the show.

Reanimated found the funeral scene to be more punk rock than the actual punk rock show. 

This is a charming show on SYFY - good cast, good writing, sign us up!

Fresh from the theater to your ears - we spill all the beans, spoilers and all, about 28 Years Later.  We also get into etiquette more than a little. To quote the good Shepherd Book from Firefly: "... you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater."

Turns out two Michaels B. Jordan is not too many. 

Robert Eggers retelling of the gothic tale of Count Orlok is accomplished through the precise application of 5,000 trained rats.

The season finale leaves the story in a place where a seven-episode season feels insufficient and the gang has some beef with a few writing choices made. Even so, season 3 needs to hurry up and get here. 

Joel and Ellie experience some of their happiest times and events take place that bring old wounds back to the surface. 

Reanimated breaks down "Feel Her Love" as Ellie and Dina sneak through war-torn Seattle, face off with Wolves and Scars, and Ellie's quest for vengeance leads her into the depths of the hospital-culminating in a tense showdown with Nora.

This week on the podcast - Seattle Correspondent Kyle has some thoughts about how the show is reflecting his city as Dina and Ellie attempt to find their footing and we get to bask in Jeffrey Wright's performance as Isaac.

Reanimated joins the community of Jackson as it attempts to come to terms with the events of the past few months. 

"... and this is Joel."

Kyle rejoins for some reactions to the start of the second season of The Last of Us!

This is the end - of Generation Z, anyway. This show tried to do an awful lot and succeeded at times, but ultimately, it just didn't have time to do what Ben Wheatley was trying to accomplish. 

We return for more of Ben Wheatley's Generation Z and can't help but adore Viola Prettejohn's turn as Finn. 

It's off to Damsbury for some generationally charged zombocalypse metaphor with Ben Wheatley's Generation Z.

It's one part Memento, one part Endzeit and a dash of Big Love on this week's Reanimated show about Die Alone. Come have a listen!

Some wildly good performances, stunning cinematography and a tight script all come together to make this Filipino film really stand out.  

Reanimated tackles the Spanish film Apocalypse Z on this week's podcast - the gang loved the pacing and storytelling in this adaptation of a popular novel and we're looking forward to the sequel!

Despite there being about 60 minutes missing from this movie, and at times it showed - Reanimated had a good time in Salem's Lot. Between a great cast, some fantastic editing and creepy Gordon Lightfoot songs, this really was a fun time. 

Reanimated finishes up in the bunker for now with the second season of Silo. Back to our regularly scheduled undead fare. 

We get a lot of answers about what went on in Silo 17 and Lukas finds out a lot about what is going on in Silo 18. The lives of ten thousand hang in the balance. 

A rare miss for Silo, this episode had Reanimated wishing we had the bends and could just hang out underwater until the plot decided it wanted to move on in a more meaningful manner. 

As Mechanical tries to strike a blow in the psyops battle, Bernard is making moves on multiple levels as usual. In Silo 17 Juliette and Solo undertake a huge mission but then Juliette is faced with a dangerous mystery! Yikes!
