Pride is back, baby — and, as always, Pride is political. That's why we've decided to dedicate our whole 2026 lineup to Trans Pride and raising money for organizations like the Transgender Law Center, and we're kicking this party off with Queens of the Dead (2025). Directed by Tina Romero, daughter of Night of the Living Dead creator George A. Romero, this flick follows in the family tradition as it focuses a zombie outbreak on the queer nightlife scene. With an incredible ensemble cast that features performers like Katy O'Brian, Jaquel Spivey, Jack Haven, Dominique Jackson, and Margaret Cho, this monster movie will have you believing in the power of both calling on your community and lip syncing for your life. This month, we're donating all of our proceeds to non-profit organizations dedicated to helping and protecting the trans community. You can help by participating in our Instagram fundraiser benefiting Transgender Law Center, joining our Patreon, or streaming both old and new episodes through the end of June.

After years in development hell, a live-action adaptation of the blockbuster survival horror video game Resident Evil finally hit screens in 2002. As opposed to just retelling a story fans were already familiar with, this was intended to be a prequel featuring a new set of characters and references to the series deeper lore. That's... sort of what this is. Not really. And as a result, the film's financial success was offset by a backlash from gamers who didn't appreciate the bait and switch. Or a Resident Evil that was light on gore and heavy on post-Matrix style action. But now that we're on the eve of Zach Cregger's reboot, we thought it would be a good time to take a look back at where it all began for RE on the big screen. Topics include: earlier incarnations that were more reflective of the first game, George A. Romero's involvement with the project (and unceremonious departure), why Paul W.S. Anderson was exactly the right guy for the approach the producers favored, how many similarities this shares with his eventual Alien Vs. Predator film, the make-up and effects, whether or not the lack of gore is the real issue here, thoughts on the sequels, hopes for the reboot, and much more!

This week on Friday Night Frightfest, we're going "ape" over a terrifyingly specific subgenre: the lab-enhanced simian nightmare! We are looking at a classic piece of "scientific-experiment-gone-wrong" horror by comparing George A. Romero's psychological thriller Monkey Shines (1988) with the highly anticipated, high-tech creature feature Primate (2026). Grab your bananas, but watch your back—these monkeys are smarter (and meaner) than you think! Monkey Shines (1988) Directed by the legendary George A. Romero, this film explores the terrifying bond between a man and his "helper." After a tragic accident leaves athlete Allan Mann (Jason Beghe) paralyzed, he is given Ella, a highly intelligent capuchin monkey trained to assist him. However, Ella has been injected with experimental human brain tissue, creating a telepathic link between her and Allan. As Ella begins to act out Allan's suppressed rage and darker impulses, the film spirals into a claustrophobic, psychological battle of wills. It's a masterclass in building tension within a single location. Primate (2026) Directed by Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down), this brand-new release takes the "killer monkey" trope and scales it up for a modern, terrifying cinematic experience. In Primate, a group of scientists at a remote research facility are hunted by a breakthrough species of genetically modified primates designed for "cognitive warfare." Unlike the intimate scale of Monkey Shines, this 2026 thriller leans into high-octane survival horror, utilizing state-of-the-art practical effects and performance capture to create predators that are hauntingly human in their tactics. Join us as we dissect the evolution of simian scares! We'll discuss the eerie, intimate connection between man and monkey in Romero's cult classic versus the visceral, pack-hunting terror of the new 2026 blockbuster. How has our fear of animal intelligence changed over the decades, and which of these primates is the true "King of the Jungle"? Spoilers start around 5:50.
Legendary zombie actor Mike Ancas, best known as the unforgettable “Head Ripper Zombie” from George A. Romero's Day of the Dead, joins Nasty Neal , Terrible Troy and Tara Hutchison LIVE!

It's alive! Your favorite Zombie Movie Podcast shambles back into your ears once again — Dead Man Still Walking, starring the ever-insightful (and occasionally curmudgeonly) Dr. Walking Dead himself, Kyle William Bishop! In this episode, the good doctor is joined by none other than special guest Jay of the Dead for a thoughtful — and at times boisterous — discussion of "Weapons" (2025). In this edition, Dr. Bishop digs into a provocative question: Is Weapons actually more of a "true" zombie film than even the works of George A. Romero? It's a bold claim, and one that sparks plenty of analysis about what really defines a zombie narrative, beyond just shambling corpses and apocalyptic backdrops. That said, it's not all praise. Dr. Bishop shares some pointed gripes, chief among them his distaste for the film's title, "Weapons," which he argues undersells the thematic depth and complexity of the story. But where the film truly wins him over is in its non-linear narrative structure, a storytelling approach he absolutely loves and champions throughout the episode. Meanwhile, Jay of the Dead brings his own observations to the table, noting how the characters in Weapons are united by a pervasive and unsettling theme: powerlessness. Whether facing societal collapse, personal limitations, or existential dread, the film's characters struggle against forces far beyond their control — a hallmark, perhaps, of the most effective zombie storytelling. Join Dr. Bishop and Jay of the Dead for another unforgettable trek into the undead. Notes: This episode contains major plot spoilers for Weapons, so proceed with caution if you haven't seen it yet!

A reimagining of George A. Romero's zombified capitalist critique, Snyder brought the franchise into the 21st Century with a more action-driven, but still fun vision. Shouldn't James Gunn have written like, eight-to-ten fewer characters to jam in here? How amazing is Ving, as always? How eerie is that zombie baby? Could Mark Borchardt and Mike Schank have made a zombie outbreak documentary? And were we wrong about goofing on Richard Cheese all these years?

It's kind of weird that no one's brought George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead onto the show in eleven years, right? Writer, actor and comedian Jon Blair thought so too, so in advance of premiering A Comedy Show at the End of the World at TO Sketchfest on Friday, he's here to really sink his teeth into the zombie picture that changed movies forever. Your genial host Norm Wilner can't wait.
Didn't Die - In Theaters March 6th!A podcaster tries to make sense of the world as they approach their 100th episode while the zombie apocalypse takes hold in DIDN'T DIE (2026). We have never related more to a film! A fresh riff on one of our favorite classic genres.We hope you enjoy this mini-episode and check out the film this weekend in theaters!More about the the film:The Sundance Midnight feature film Didn't Die, directed by Meera Menon, has been heralded by Variety as an “enticing character-centric comedy” and by Collider as a film that "forges its own bloody path by taking the story back to the barest of bones,” Didn't Die premiered in 2025 at the Sundance Film Festival as a Midnight feature; merely weeks after director Menon's home was tragically consumed by the fires which ravaged Los Angeles.Menon, who has directed episodes of “The Walking Dead,” “Fear the Walking Dead,” “Ms. Marvel,” and “Westworld,” describes Didn't Die—a film about the human spirit rising from tragedy—this way: “I'm drawn to the question of what still makes life worth living when everything else has come undone. Being an indie filmmaker right now feels like podcasting in the middle of a zombie apocalypse—this film is about the grit it takes to simply keep going.”Starring stand-up comedian and Emmy-nominated actress Kiran Deol in the lead role of “Vinita”, Didn't Die revolves around an unfolding zombie apocalypse in rural America, as a podcast host (Deol) struggles to maintain their dwindling audience amidst the chaos.Support the show

Celebrate three years of Bring Me The Axe with us as we continue our annual tradition of a deep dive into the world of George A. Romero and his iconic living dead series. For our last two anniversaries we featured Dawn of the Dead and Night of the Living Dead so it only makes sense that close out year three with the highly divisive (and Bryan's favorite), Day of the Dead. Taking place late in the zombie plague, a motley crew of scientists and military take shelter in an underground bunker, researching the cause and a possible solution to the problem at hand: mankind being driven to the brink of extinction against a worldwide zombie holocaust. Tensions are high, supplies are low, and morale is lower as the operation cracks at the seams. One scientist thinks he has a solution, demonstrated by his domesticated pet zombie, Bub. Released in 1985 as the third film in a three picture deal with United Film Distribution Company, Romero's epic vision of a horror movie, "Gone With The Wind With Zombies", to quote Romero, had to be scaled back significantly when Romero refused UFDC's mandate for an R-rated movie, insisting instead on a hyper-violent, gory spectacle. The result is languid, talky character drama cast with wild over-actors and punctuated by grisly violence and zombie carnage. It's Romero at his most conflicted but Tom Savini at his absolute best.

Director John Harrison and screenwriter George A. Romero
Happy Birthday GEORGE A. ROMERO. Dass letzten Mittwoch eigentlich sein Geburtstag gewesen wäre, nehmen Wolf, André und Schröck nicht nur zum Anlass, um ausführlich über einen der Mitbegründer des modernen Horrorkinos zu sprechen, sondern auch, um eine dabei auch noch eine Top 10 seiner Langfilme zu erstellen. Natürlich inklusive aller Zombie-Streifen von DIE NACHT DER LEBENDEN TOTEN über ZOMBIE (aka DAWN OF THE DEAD) und ZOMBIE 2 (aka DAY OF THE DEAD) bis hin zu LAND OF THE DEAD, DIARY OF THE DEAD oder SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD, aber eben dann auch mit ein wenig mehr Fokus auf all die Filme, die er abseits davon gemacht hat. Zum Beispiel den sehr unter dem Radar laufenden MARTIN, den zum Glück restaurierten THE AMUSEMENT PARK oder die Stephen King-Adaption STARK - THE DARK HALF (aka STEPHEN KINGS STARK). Und wo wir schon bei King sind, kriegen auch CREEPSHOW (aka DIE UNHEIMLICH VERRÜCKTE GEISTERSTUNDE) und CREEPSHOW 2 einen kleinen Spot im Rampenlicht, bevor André noch gesteht, dass er irgendwann mal SEASON OF THE WITCH gesehen hat, DER AFFE IM MENSCHEN ein wenig Liebe abkriegt und Schröck sich als neuer Fan von KNIGHTRIDERS – RITTER AUF HEISSEN ÖFEN outet. Die Wege des Motorradherren sind eben unergründlich. Abgerundet durch mal mehr, mal weniger Dialog zu BRUISER, der mal angedachten RESIDENT EVIL-Verfilmung, dem Doppel-Projekt TWO EVIL EYES oder der einen wie anderen Anekdote zu dem Mann an sich, nachdem auch noch kurz über HAMNET und TRAIN DREAMS gesprochen wurde, die Wolf und André zuletzt gesehen haben. Damit ist die Folge gefüllt und Ihr hoffentlich um sowohl ein paar schöne Minuten wie auch ein paar schöne Filmtipps reicher. Habt ein schönes Wochenende, bleibt so gesund wie gut drauf und bis bald. Godspeed. *Werbung* Weniger suchen, mehr schauen: Entdecke jetzt das riesige Angebot an Serien, Dokus und Filmen von HBO Max. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

From her first job right out of high school on a USO tour through Asia during the Vietnam War to Maude to screen queen classics, Adrienne Barbeau has costarred with snakes, rats, bugs, Swamp Things, a man-eating ape and Batman!Adrienne joins us to talk about iconic roles, larger than life co-stars (like Rodney and Reynolds) and how at 80, she's doing everything BUT riding into the sunset.At 19, she moved to New York City with a clear promise to herself: She would give theater her absolute all and settle for her backup plan, if need be, only at age 25. By then she was starring on Broadway as Hodel in Fiddler On The Roof with costar Bette Midler as Tzeitel.Adrienne shares firsthand stories from the birth of Grease (MUCH edgier at its inception), where she originated the role of Rizzo. She recalls the electric audience response during previews, and how, fueled by that enthusiasm, producers pushed forward despite harsh critical reviews. From there, Adrienne was discovered by Norman Lear and offered the part of Maude's daughter Carol in the first All In The Family Spinoff. She found Bea Arthur to be an artist who exemplified collaborative grace, always putting the show ahead of any individual performance.Adrienne opens up about her curious relationship with Burt Reynolds… in fact, a psychic saw her dating a man who was laying on a bearskin, even before she had met him or he had done that! She then shares stories from the chaotic set of Cannonball Run, where she was trying to take the work seriously while many cast-mates were mostly taking alcohol. We talk about her collaborations with John Carpenter and George A. Romero. We delve into Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death (which turns out to have surprising literary roots in Heart of Darkness). We play a sizzling round of IMDB Roulette and hear about Adrienne's latest project, the short film Oddities.The episode closes on a meaningful note as we say goodbye to Fritz in his final episode as co-host, and welcome Lisa Arch, who will be joining Weezy for our next episode.In current media--Weezy: Song Sung Blue, in theaters and streamingFritz: Marty Supreme, in theaters and streamingPath Points of Interest:Adrienne BarbeauThere Are Worse Things I Could Do by Adrienne BarbeauAdrienne Barbeau on WikipediaAdrienne Barbeau on IMDBAdrienne Barbeau on InstagramAdrienne Barbeau on FacebookOdditiesAdrienne Barbeau Amazon Author PageSong Sung BlueMarty Supreme
Step quietly into the quarantine zone this week on the Scary Spirits Podcast as we honor the birthday of legendary filmmaker George A. Romero—the architect of modern horror. To mark the occasion, hosts Karen and Greg descend into the chaotic, fever‑stricken world of Romero's 1973 cult classic, The Crazies. In this episode, they dissect the film's unsettling blend of government paranoia, small‑town collapse, and the thin line between sanity and madness—all while sipping a dangerously delicious, themed “Crazy Coconut Cocktail.” If you're a fan of classic horror films, apocalyptic storytelling, or Romero's gritty vision of society unraveling at the seams, this episode is your next must‑listen.

Could this be The BEST Zombie Film EVER? Many die-hard fans of the zombie sub-genre might say so and they might be right - this post-apocalyptic zombie epic was also directed by what most consider the creator of this genre, the late, great George A. Romero. (Night of the Living Dead, Monkey Shines, The Crazies) It focuses on two police officers (Ken Foree, Scott H. Reiniger) and two employees of a local news station (David Emge, Gaylen Ross) who are now on the run after a full-blown zombie pandemic in the US and eventually are able to settle at a local mall where they seem to have everything they need.....though there are plenty of zombies there too. :o We follow their adventures in surviving this dystopian situation and they TRY to have some fun along the way.....and much carnages ensues.

This week Josh and Drusilla discuss a George Romero deep cut but possibly his best film, Martin (1977). From wiki: “Martin (also known internationally as Wampyr) is a 1977[2] American horror film written and directed by George A. Romero, starring John Amplas. The film follows a troubled young man who believes himself to be a vampire.[3] Shot in 1976, Martin was Romero's fifth feature film following his previous film, The Crazies (1973). Romero said that Martin was the favorite of all his films.[4][5] The film is also the first collaboration between George Romero and special effects artist Tom Savini. While a prosecution for obscenity did not result, the film was seized and confiscated in the UK under Section 3 of the Obscene Publications Act 1959 during the video nasty panic.”Also discussed: Goke: Body Snatcher from Hell, Larry Cohen's career and Special Effects, which services are available through 911, L'eggs brand pantyhose, Pirahna, and more.

On this special bonus episode we break down Queens of the Dead (2025), Tina Romero's vibrant, queer twist on the zombie genre. Set during a Brooklyn drag party turned undead apocalypse, the film blends camp, chaos, and heartfelt social commentary. Tina, daughter of horror legend George A. Romero, takes up her father's mantle while carving her own path, infusing the classic zombie formula with drag culture, inclusivity, and a fierce sense of identity.
