Elwood Jones (Asian Cinema Film Club podcast) and The Reverend Scott K (The Church of Tarantino podcast) return to Flixwatcher to review Elwood's choice World War Z. World War Z (2013) is an action zombie film film directed by Marc (Quantum of Solace) Forster and inspired by the book of the same name by Max Brooks. Brad Pitt stars as Gerry Lane, an ex United Nations investigator who is tasked with finding the source and also a potential cure for a sudden zombie apocalypse. World War Z's biggest downfall is that it came out after the genre defining 28 Days Later. In its attempt to out do 28 Days Later running zombies it creates zombies that aren't really zombies. It's also biggest downfall is its decision to not stay faithful to the source material and take its name but go in a different direction. It also fails the genre by being a PG-13 certificate and lacks the gore to be a true zombie film. This was reflected in the recommendability scores, it's two hour plus runtime affected repeat viewing and engagement categories to give an overall score of 3.37.

In Episode 160 of PopCultX, titled “More Brains: Zombies We Love”, Danny and Gabriel immerse themselves in all things zombie—from fast-moving flesh-eaters to slow, tension-building hordes. They dive into what makes zombies so terrifying, debating the classic horror trope of fast versus slow zombies and what their personal strategies would be if the world suddenly fell into a zombie apocalypse. The episode highlights their favorite zombie movies, including Return of the Living Dead with its punk rock vibes, Shaun of the Dead for its perfect blend of humor and horror, and Zombieland for its self-aware, refreshingly comedic take on the genre. They also explore unique concepts from World War Z's plague avoidance to The Santa Clarita Diet, where Drew Barrymore hilariously plays a suburban mom with a taste for brains. Danny and Gabriel brainstorm ways to reinvent the zombie trope, imagining zombies who look normal until they attack, and drawing inspiration from Max Brooks' The Extinction Parade, where vampires go to war with zombies over their food supply. Their lively discussion also touches on the emotional weight of killing loved ones turned zombies, and a playful comparison between the enduring appeal of zombies versus vampires. Tune in to hear their zombie apocalypse survival plans, thoughts on keeping the genre fresh, and some wild hypotheticals that will leave you both laughing and a little creeped out. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/popcultx/support

Look at us! Reading a book for those Gen Z cats! Or Gen Alpha? Anyway, we are reading Minecraft: The Island written by Max Brooks, author of World War Z.

Our Socials Follow us at patreon.com/pixellitpod and hop into our Discord! Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/pixellitpod.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/pixellitpod Book Synopsis Washed up on a beach, the lone castaway looks around the shore. Where am I? Who am I? And why is everything made of blocks? But there isn't much time to soak up the sun. It's getting dark, and there's a strange new world to explore! The top priority is finding food. The next is not becoming food. Because there are others out there on the island . . .  like the horde of zombies that appears after nightfall. Crafting a way out of this mess is a challenge like no other. Who could build a home while running from exploding creepers, armed skeletons, and an unstoppable tide of hot lava? Especially with no help except for a few makeshift tools and sage advice from an unlikely friend: a cow.

Da forskere i 2030 opdager en dødelig virus i den optøende permafrost i Arktis, startes en global pandemi. I How High We Go in the Dark oplever vi menneskehedens kamp med konsekvenserne og lærer om virussens mystiske ophav. Bogen er den første roman af forfatteren Sequoia Nagamatsu. Den udkom i 2022, men Nagamatsu skrev på den igennem ti år. Så historiens skildringer af pandemien strækker altså tilbage længe før pandemien. Nagamatsu kombinerer videnskabelig spekulation med dybt menneskelige historier, hvilket resulterer i en roman, der er både tankevækkende og bevægende. I et kapitel er vi i et fremtidigt tema-parkland, designet til at sige farvel til de døde. I et andet oplever vi et værksted for robothunde. På den måde minder bogen lidt om bøger som Station Eleven af Emilie St John Mandel eller World War Z af Max Brooks. Måske er det Nagamatsus antropologiske baggrund, der spilder ind. Bogen bidrager i hvert fald med nogle voldsomt kreative og originale bud på menneskehedens retænkning af vores forhold til døden. En af disse er fremkostning af begravelsesservices som en ny boom-industri. Undertiden tager How High We Go in the Dark nogle ordentlige og overraskende scifi-sving og tripper ud i fuld galaktisk rum-mysticisme. Men det skal vi ikke spoile her. Bogen bliver dermed litterær og fascinerende på samme tid. Jens og Anders har SCIFI Snakket "How High We Go in the Dark"

Surviving in cold temperatures under precipitation all alone, with no plan or equipment to speak of, is a tall order for any human being. Multiply that several times for how tough it must be on a small three year old, but that was exactly the scenario for Ryker Webb. The Montana toddler was playing on June 3rd of 2022 with the Webb family dog outside of their Troy, Montana home. The backyard of that home consists of plenty of forest land that goes on for miles. Troy is the type of town that most would consider to be “in the middle of nowhere.” It's only a couple of hours of a drive North to the Canadian border. Its population: well under a thousand people in total. A very very small town by any metric. Even a Google search for places to eat will only show you a handful of restaurants within the town's borders. …No wonder Max Brooks labeled Troy a “safe zone” for humanity in his post-apocalyptic novel “World War Z.”  Learn more about your ad choices.

You can contact me here: ​rick@theoutdoorbizpodcast.com Show Notes   00:02:27 - 00:02:58 How did you get into duck hunting? Josh got into duck hunting through his interest in the Texas Waterfowl Brigade. 00:03:44 - 00:04:06 Do you do any other kinds of hunting? "I'm actually more of a pheasant hunter than a duck hunter" 00:04:27 - 00:04:55 How did you meet Jennifer? "I actually was doing an event down in a little place in North Dakota called Washburn and we went to a DU banquet and I was selling a puppy because we still had a couple of them. I saw an advertisement saying, "join us trip down to Texas". And I thought that was really fun. So I emailed her and that's how it started." 00:05:17 - 00:05:42 What exactly is the North Dakota Waterfowl Brigade? The North Dakota Waterfowl Brigade is a program developed based on the Texas Waterfowl Brigade model. It focuses on educating kids about waterfowl, habitat management, leadership, and teamwork through a five-day camp. 00:09:23 - 00:10:21 Why did you choose the Texas Waterfowl Brigade model? Josh was drawn to the Texas Brigade model because of its seamless setup, emphasis on hands-on learning, incorporation of leadership activities, and the successful engagement of kids in outdoor activities. 00:12:45 - 00:13:26 Which program are you modeling from the Texas Waterfowl Brigade? They are specifically modeling the Waterfowl Brigade from the Texas Brigades' camp program. How are you using that program to develop your program? We're adapting the Texas Waterfowl Brigade model but with a different curriculum focusing on the breeding grounds in North Dakota instead of habitat management for wintering ducks in Texas. 00:14:09 - 00:14:15 When will you launch the program? The North Dakota Waterfowl Brigade program is set to run for five days, scheduled from June 3rd to June 7th, 2024, during the summer. Is everyone excited about it? Yes, there is a level of excitement surrounding the program, but some individuals are also a bit hesitant or cautious about the new endeavor. 00:21:27 - 00:22:02 Are there any hunting trips in your future? Josh mentions potential hunting trips to Red Lodge, Montana, for Rough Grouse and to Ohio for deer hunting with his father's friends. 00:22:30 - 00:23:11 Do you have any suggestions and/or advice for folks looking to get into duck hunting? Josh recommends finding someone experienced to teach you, emphasizing the importance of learning from others, even if the hunt isn't successful. He also suggests that hunting with a group can make the experience more enjoyable. Jensifer's advice is: that in North Dakota, we have organizations that host different Types of hunts. Like, I know our pheasants forever. Like, they're they do a youth hunt, and then our the North Dakota game and fish, Excuse me. The North Dakota Game and Fish, we have there's a they have an r three coordinator who also coordinates some Hunting around waterfowl and things like that, so they're almost like mentored hunts. What is your favorite outdoor gear purchase under $100? 00:25:35 - 00:25:57 Josh mentions a good dog brush with dual sides for detangling dog hair, particularly helpful after hunting trips when dogs often get tangled in cockleburs. 00:26:27 - 00:26:32 Jennifer says you've got to have a good headlamp. How about some of your favorite books? 00:26:41 - 00:27:15 Josh talks about "The Lonesome Cowboy with Friends," a book given to him by an author he met at a camp. 00:27:56 - 00:28:02 Jennifer discusses "Devolution" by Max Brooks, a Bigfoot-themed book that combines fiction with survival advice. Is there anything else you'd like to say or ask of our listeners? Jennifer promotes fundraising efforts for the North Dakota Waterfowl Brigade through Ducks Unlimited, encouraging support for their camp on February 8th, 2024, during Giving Hearts Day. Josh advises people to spend time outdoors and disconnect from screens. Where can people find you if they'd like to follow up (email, Twitter, Instagram, etc)?

The Minecraft trilogy by Max Brooks is about two humans – Guy and Summer – who get trapped in the world of the video game Minecraft and have to find their way out. In today's episode, Brooks speaks with NPR's Andrew Limbong about how Minecraft is the perfect medium through which to teach kids about conflict, survival and adapting to change. But they also get to talking about how Brooks' first book, World War Z, landed him a gig at West Point teaching military preparedness, and how he thanks his mom, actress Anne Bancroft, for teaching him the value of being prepared.

Episode two hundred sixty eight - part two Jessikah and Jenn were psyched to chat with the one and only Max Brooks!! Max stopped by to talk about his Minecraft trilogy, the first original novels in the Minecraft world, and its third volume that is out this week: THE VILLAGE.

In order to thrive in a world that's constantly in flux, you have to learn to overcome your fear of the unknown and adapt yourself to whatever circumstance you find yourself in. Zombies and Minecraft can teach how to do both.Today on the show, I talk to Max Brooks, son of famed filmmaker Mel Brooks, who is the author of books that include World War Z and a series of Minecraft novels for kids. Max and I discuss how he's used his fiction to explore learning to be resilient in the face of change and how his work writing about the zombie apocalypse led to a gig at the Modern War Institute at West Point. Along the way, Max offers insights on overcoming your fear of the unknown and how Minecraft can help your kids learn how to thrive in a world where becoming a creative problem solver is the name of the game.Resources Related to the PodcastSelect books by MaxBrooks:The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living DeadWorld War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie WarMinecraft: The IslandMinecraft: The MountainMinecraft: The VillageAoM Article: Survival Lessons from World War ZAoM Podcast #902: How to Survive Any Worst Case ScenarioAoM Article: 5 Tools for Thriving in UncertaintyAoM Article: The Best Books to Read in Uncertain Times“In a Far Country” by Jack LondonConnect With Max BrooksMax‘s website

Max Brooks, the New York Times best-selling author, is on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate his latest book, "Minecraft: The Village."  In the interview, Brooks emphasizes the need for parents to prepare their children for a changing job market that requires flexibility, problem-solving skills, and innovation. He critiques the traditional education system, rooted in the Prussian model, for its focus on standardization and memorization, stating that it no longer adequately prepares students for the modern workforce. Brooks highlights the value of the popular video game, Minecraft, as a tool for teaching creative problem-solving and adaptability. He describes Minecraft as a game that fosters individual creativity and allows players to approach challenges in their own unique ways, mirroring the skills needed in the 21st-century workplace. The conversation also touches on the themes explored in "Minecraft: The Village," where the characters learn life lessons such as teamwork, democracy, and the consequences of war. Brooks emphasizes that the book offers opportunities for parents and children to engage in meaningful discussions about real-world topics, making it an excellent choice for shared reading and learning. Ultimately, Brooks encourages parents to embrace their children's unique learning styles, advocate for their needs in the education system, and promote adaptability as a crucial life skill for success in an ever-changing world.

This week we get alllll spooky and cinematic! We talk Zombie apocalypse with World War Z by Max Brooks (also, this one has an incredible audiobook)! Thanks for reading along with us! Our next book will be Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, because we just can't get optimistic. Host: Nic Co-host: Mike Burns and Mike Carroll "We survived the zombie apocalypse, but how many of us are still haunted by that terrible time? We have (temporarily?) defeated the living dead, but at what cost? Told in the haunting and riveting voices of the men and women who witnessed the horror firsthand, World War Z is the only record of the pandemic.   The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years." From the Three Rivers Press back cover.

In a special crossover episode, we rope Dan McCoy of The Flop House, his brother John McCoy of Sophomore Lit and their brother Rob McCoy for questions about the sort of things you would read in high school. We start off by finding out what the kids are getting at the Scholastic Book Fair, then blink in amazement at sequels to classic books that probably shouldn't have them. It all leads to the lightning round, where our players go outside their comfort zones and finally establish trivia dominance over their brothers!
