Episode 9 - Deadly Sex

KMO and Marty dig into the soft pink underbelly of zombie sex in all of its putrid and repulsive glory. Focusing on two films, Deadgirl and Zombie Strippers, this is not a podcast for the weak of spirit. You have been warned.

Episode 8 - Wrath of God

Episode 8 of the Z-Realm centers on the final episode of AMC's The Walking Dead. KMO and Marty talk about and fully spoil the episode as they talk about the real origin of conciousness, whether Shane is truly a D-bag, and many other topics. They also speak about the new Playstation 3 game Dead Nation which they played to completion and have the sore thumbs to prove it!

God Laughing

Episode 7 of the Z-Realm podcast focuses on the penultimate episode of AMC's The Walking Dead "Wildfire". KMO and Marty discuss how the episode focuses on the small band of ever-dwindling survivors and the makeshift society they are trying to build in the ever-present threat of zombie attack. It is a strong, heartfelt and moving look at people in a time of crisis, not at all unlike the popular Michael Martin Murphey song from 1975.

Satan's Yard Sale and Fish Fry

Happy Thanksgiving! We talk about "Vatos" the fourth episode of AMC's "The Walking Dead". We talk about digging holes that are more than holes, about badass dudes who can win fights with one hand tied WAY behind their back, and the terrors of Satan's hellhounds. Stop trying to control the way that time flows, and spend a moment with us.

Episode 5 - Ribbit

Episode 5 deals primarily with the third segment of AMC's "The Walking Dead". We look at post-apocalyptic gender-roles, weapon choices, appropriate mourning and many other critical issues. The first season of The Walking Dead is halfway over, and we already salivating in anticipation of season two! Please let us know what you think of the show.

Episode 4 - Dead Puppies

Episode 4 of the Z-Realm focuses on the 2nd episode of the AMC series The Walking Dead. We also talk a bit about Robert Rodriquez' film Planet Terror and try to decide if the creatures in that film are actually zombies or just spectacular movie monsters.

Woo hoo!

Undead Nightmare

This past weekend, I downloaded the Undead Nightmare addon for Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption. It includes both single-player and multi-player additions for this excellent game. Once again you control John Marston who finds the world ravaged by some strange plague that brings the dead back to life as flesh-hungry zombies. Your mission is to find an answer and hopefully a cure. I am only an hour or so into the game, but it is impressive already, and at 10 dollars ( on the Playstation network ) it seems like quite a bargain.

On a side note...I'd just like to apologize for my crimes against the Sasquatches, I am still haunted by my unreasonable aggression.

Hey Dumbass...Cozy In There?

Episode 3 of the Z-Realm focuses on the premiere of AMC's Walking Dead series and contains mountains of praise for this outstanding program. KMO also interviews author Tony Monchinski to discuss his work with a particular focus on zombies.

Spoiler Alert!

Spoiler Alert! Episode two of the Z-Realm where KMO and Marty talk about the comic book "The Walking Dead" and anticipate the upcoming AMC series based on it. They also touch on other recent uplifting items like "The Road" and "The Mist".

Original Z-Realm Podcast

Earlier in 2010, KMO joined my co-host Mike and I to record episode zero of our podcast Flickers from the Cave. To show a little bit of the pre-history of the Z-Realm, I wanted to post the link for that show here for everyone to experience if they wanted some background and even more zombie-talk. You can find the episode in our RSS feed, or by going to THIS webpage.

Zombie Apocalypse MMO in Development

An article in the current, print-issue of EGM about an upcoming zombie-based MMO from Undead Labs sounded very interesting so I wanted to post a link to some info that is online about the game. You can read more here. A google-search on the terms "undead labs zombie mmo" gave me quite a few other options for information.

The Dead Walk

In this time of turmoil, one thing unites us all...a fascination with those shambling sacks of skin that we like to call zombies.  Since George A. Romero re-invented the idea of what a zombie is with his ground-breaking masterpiece Night of the Living Dead in 1968, the flesh-eating zombie has become a recurring villian in a long list of popular media. The zombie has been a rich ground for creativity as well, with zombies serving admirably as stand-ins for consumerism out of control, societal stratification, science run-a-muck, and many other current topics.
The most recent addition to this long and illustrious line of zombie related media is the upcoming AMC series The Walking Dead which premieres this Halloween ( check your local listings ).  It is based on a very popular and long-running comic book of the same name written by Robert Kirkman.  In light of this impending epicness, my friend KMO and I decided that the time was right for a podcast and, to a lesser-extent, a blog that focuses on the subject of zombies.
We would love your feedback as this project moves forward. Free to email us at zrealmcast@yahoo.com .
