  • Maniac (1934)
    Jan 29 2025

    John and Andy take an unexpected turn on their zombie journey and stumble into Maniac (1934), an early exploitation flick. The film’s poster promises “dynamic sex lectures” and “strange loves exposed”, but the movie delivers mad scientists, murder, a cat named Satan and maybe one zombie.


    US Theatrical Release Date: September 11, 1934

  • White Zombie (1932)
    Jan 22 2025

    John and Andy go back 93 years to the dawn of zombie films to watch White Zombie (1932), the very first zombie movie. Horror movie legend Bela Lugosi stars as a sinister zombie master, just one year after he terrified audiences as Dracula. What connections to modern zombie strains will John and Andy find?

    US Theatrical Release Date: August 4, 1932

  • The Girl with All the Gifts (2017)
    Jan 15 2025

    It’s Andy’s turn to present his baseline zombie film. His choice, The Girl with All the Gifts (2017), is strikingly different than John’s. Fast zombies? Check. Fast transmission? Check. Hordes of children who turn into zombies at the scent of humans? That’s new! Andy and John discuss this thought-provoking movie as they take another step on their zombie journey.
