Episode 20 - Yin and Yang

In episode 20 of the Z-Realm Podcast, KMO and Marty are once again joined, face to face, across the couch from the lovely Olga K. to discuss two significant entries in the zombie canon. We talk about Lucio Fulci's infamous Zombie from 1979 and Zack Snyder's outstanding reworking of Dawn of the Dead from 2004. The talk compares and contrasts the two and they pull no punches with either.

Episode 19 - Where is My Mind?

In Episode 19, KMO and Marty are joined by Olga K for a bit of the old "face-to-face, old-timey, in the flesh" podcastinig. The beginning sound-bite is from a great YouTube video called "What To Do In A Zombie Attack". This episode features a wide-ranging conversation between KMO and the wonderful Dopefiend. Topics covered include numerous films, tv shows and comic books. One of the main films that they speak about is Lucio Fulci's classic "Zombie" or "Zombie Flesheaters" or "Zombi 2". If you want more info on that one, check out episode 7 of Flickers from the Cave.
We return to familiar ground after that and have a three-way discussion of the recent Zack Snyder film Sucker Punch. We wrap up our talk with Lady Rizzo performing her version of the song "Where is My Life" which, if you think about it, would be the ultimate question on every zombie's mind.

World War Z part 4 - Islands in the Sea of Zack

In episode 18 of the Z-Realm we are continuing to discuss the amazing audiobook of Max Brooks' World War Z. KMO and Marty are joined by Olga K from New York City, home of countless zombie outbreaks ( or so Hollywood would have us believe ). The conversation ranges far and wide, from the folly of an armchair survivalist to a blind man alone in a forest who finds the strength of 10,000 years.
As the podcast concludes, the conversation turns to other media that we are interested in, and, as usual, things end with a bang.

Episode 14 - Not the Teeth, Tammy

Episode 14 of the Z-Realm focuses mostly on 2006's Fido which tells a very distinctive and wonderfully nuanced tale of a boy and his zombie. Taking all the traditional trappings of 1950's America, the filmmakers add zombies to the mix and end up with an allegory-rich world that rivals the best of the genre. Featuring wonderful performances, a lyrical score, and spot-on art direction, Fido is an incredible treat.
