Zombpocalypse Now - Team Zombie Discusses Undead Things

In which we have exciting action sequences, experience Gay Ex Machima, and question the future of The Zombpocalypse Baby through the power of song. 

In which the Team Zombie podcast team gains a new four-legged member, the larger onscreen Team Zombie gets both more and less screen time than is really necessary while medical science is wildly ignored, and THE WALKING DEAD stumbles a bit, if not terribly so. 

In which The WALKING DEAD provides some great character moments, some necessary housecleaning, and Team Zombie finds they still doesn't know what the point of the Scavengers was.

In which we watch the Midseason Premiere of THE WALKING DEAD and have thoughts upon it.

In which Mr. Harvey and Mr. Adair watch Disney's ZOMBIES and survive a well-meaning and relatively harmless but flawed film that they are not remotely the target audience of.

In which TEAM ZOMBIE hate-watches the second episode of Spike' TV's THE MIST as they wait for Disney's ZOMBIES.SO MANY THINGS ARE WRONG WITH THAT SENTENCE! Oh, and the return of THE WALKING DEAD.

Wherein Team Zombie fills the time until Disney's Zombies and the return of The Walking Dead by trying to figure out why the tv-series The Mist is so awful. Because it is so very, very awful.

Timothy: With The Walking Dead returning at the end of February, we thought we'd jump back into the world of the zombified with the British zombie miniseries Dead Set.Dustin: So if you're a fan of reality-tv, you'll get to hear us talk about what happens when the cast and crew of a fictional Big Brother series find themselves attacked by the walking dead!Timothy: And if you just can't stand reality-tv, then you'll get to hear us talk about what happens when the cast and crew of a fictional Big Brother series find themselves attacked by the walking dead!Dustin: Everybody wins! Timothy: Always a nice thing. So either go run and watch the series and then join us as we do that thing we do unto it...Dustin: Or just listen to us do that thing. We'll tell you what's happening. All part of the service.

RESIDUESeason 1, Episode 3 Written by John HarrisonDirected by Alex Garcia LopezTeam Zombie talks about the final (for now?) episode of Netflix's Residue this week, while considering its similarity in tone to the classic j-horror film Kairo, or as it was called on this side of the pond, Pulse.The good one. Not the American remake.And hey, could you fine people do us a huge favor? If you listen to the show, could you please let us know? We get some information about listening numbers from the various places folks can get podcasts, but it's hardly complete or necessarily accurate. We'd love to hear from you, and if you have any requests for shows or films that you'd like us to review or discuss, we'd love to hear that as well.Thanks for listening!

RESIDUESeason 1, Episode 2 Written by John HarrisonDirected by Alex Garcia LopezTimothy: Welcome back folks, we hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's Eve, and are ready to dive into this week's Zombpocalyse Now podcast!Dustin: We're talking about Netflix's 2015 series Residue again this week, so if you haven't seen it and you don't want SPOILERS, then watch to and come back and listen. We'll be here, it's OK. Timothy: Or you could listen to us tell you about it. Your choice. I did want to mention that we refer to Residue as a BBC series this week, aaaaaand it's not a BBC series. Dustin: Yeah, it turns out that there are actually other film and TV studious in the UK besides the BBC, and they do, oh I don't know, A LOT OF PROGRAMMING, and we fell into that weird American thing where we see something made in England and suddenly all you can think of is the British Broadcasting Corporation. I blame PBS.Timothy: It was produced as a limited releas

RESIDUESeason 1, Episode 1 Written by John HarrisonDirected by Alex Garcia LopezTimothy: Happy Holidays, and welcome to this week's Zombpocalyse Now podcast!Dustin: We're watching Netflix's 2015 series Residue over the next month, since all the Walking of the Dead are on their breaks. And Disney's new zombie series isn't out yet.Timothy: I can't even tell you how much I'm dreading that. Dustin: WE ARE WATCHING IT TIM AND YOU WILL LOVE IT. So we looked around for something to fill the scheduling gap, and we stumbled across this 3-episode British show from Alex Garcia Lopez of Misfits. And since neither of us had seen it, we thought, hey! Let's see it. And we did, and will.Timothy: It's an interesting show so far. Got some good creepy vibe to it. We'll see how it goes, and you can come with us! As always there are SPOILERS, so if you haven't seen the show, I'd zip over to Netflix and check out the first episode.Dustin: Probably a good thing.

SatrazemisTimothy: Hello folks, and welcome to this week's Zombpocalyse Now podcast!Dustin: It's the mid-season finale! We didn't hate it!Timothy: We didn't, no. Probably because they worked the stupid out the previous few episodes. Now they just have to deal with the fallout from the stupid. And there is, in fact a LOT of fallout. If you thought the War started earlier this season, welllll.... .Dustin: This is not to say that everything was perfect - this IS The Walking Dead we're talking about - but there was so much more right this week, and can I just say that Chandler Riggs was really good this week? And that I'm going to miss him, even if I spent 5 years wishing that Carl was eaten by zombies?Timothy: Spoilers, man, Jeez.Dustin: You do realize that people listen to this AFTER the show airs, right? The only people w

The WORST. You have been warned.Timothy: We don't just talk about Eugene being terrible, of course. We also talk about how terrible Daryl is at following plans.Dustin: Daryl is TERRIBLE at following plans, you guys. PLANS THAT ARE WORKING!Timothy: And yet there are some good moments this week...Dustin: Moments. Not enough of them, but yes, there are moments. AND, we did it in under 45 minutes!

THE WALKING DEADSeason 8, Episode 6 "The King, the Widow, and Rick"Written by Angela Kang & Corey ReedDirected by John PolsonTimothy: Hi folks! Welcome to this week's Zombpocalyse Now podcast!Dustin: An episode that is significantly shorter than the one we actually recorded.Timothy: Which is a good thing.Dustin: We did have a few digressions. Shakespeare adaptations, the early days of the A&E network...Timothy: The emotional black hole that is the TV show FRIENDS...Dustin: All very entertaining and completely irrelevant to the show we are actually talking about. It's kind of a thing we do, and yet we have spared you, our listeners, and you are welcome. You're also welcome to like our new Facebook page. Zombpocalysenowpodcast. Like it.

THE WALKING DEADSeason 8, Episode 5 "Big Bad Scary U"Story by?: Scott M. Gimple & David Leslie Johnson & Angela KangTeleplay by?: David Leslie Johnson & Angela KangDirected by Michael E. SatrazemisTimothy: See, I told you I'd get this week's episode cut down to under an hour.Dustin: Only by cutting out all the really funny stuff.Timothy: None of which had anything to actually do with The Walking Dead.Dustin: Details, details. Hey, you know what we never talked about on the actual podcast? The repeated use of dialogue that had sexual overtones. There was a LOT of it, you guys.Timothy: There was, and it was very, very weird. It seemed like it had to be on purpose, and yet what that purpose could be isn't remotely clear. Dustin: Which is really what it all comes down to, even if we would have said probably a lot of things you'd have to bleep out as we laughed uncomfortably about it. Instead we talk a lot about how this episode is kinda filler, even if we get Negan in a k

THE WALKING DEADSeason 8, Episode 4 "Some Guy"Written by David Leslie JohnsonDirected by Dan LiuTimothy: Hiya folks! Welcome to this week's Zombpocalypse Now podcast.Dustin: We have a lot to talk about this week, since it's apparently the Ezekiel-Beatdown-Special. It's a little much.Timothy: Only because we've seen this before. And it's really heavy handed.Dustin: Like Heavy-Hand-of-the-Writer heavy handed.Timothy: We have some thoughts on the subject.Dustin: That's why we're here. Because we have the thoughts.

THE WALKING DEADSeason 8, Episode 2 "The Damned" Written by Matthew Negrete & Channing Powell Directed by Rosemary RodriguezTimothy: The author you were thinking of is Gregory Maguire.Dustin: Ah yes, that's the one. Him.Timothy: Pretty nifty little theory you came up with there, actually.Dustin: I am very wise. Of course, the people will have to listen to the podcast to know what we're talking about here. Since you're being a touch cryptic here.Timothy: It's Halloween. I am attempting to create an atmosphere of mystery. Poorly, yes. But still.Dustin: Speaking of atmosphere, the audio is a bit airy this week.Timothy: That's because our nice mic is attending a conference in San Diego. Without me. There's a story there, but it's not very interesting. Different mic this week, so different sound. Dustin: Yeah, not interesting. Hey! Listeners! There are changes happening here on the website!
