Horror Movie Podcast Ep. 186: ZomCom Phenomenon — Zombieland: Double Tap (2019) and Little Monsters (2019) and The Dead Don’t Die (2019) and One Cut of the Dead (2019)
Welcome to HORROR MOVIE PODCAST, where we’re Dead Serious About Horror Movies… Episode 186 is a monster-sized ZOMbie COMedy PHENOMENON episode, where your horror hosts—Wolfman Josh, Dr. Shock, and Gillman Joel—set the table with a massive, Thanksgiving-sized themed discussion, covering dozens upon dozens of ZomComs in Micro-Review form. That’s followed by a main course of new release Feature Reviews of Zombieland: Double Tap (2019), Little Monsters (2019), and Jim Jarmusch’s The Dead Don’t Die (2019). Next, we have a special SHUDDER–Sponsored Screaming Online segment, with an extremely enthusiastic review of One Cut of the Dead (2019)! Finally, for dessert, Dr. Shock brings you his post-mortem Mini Review of Anna and the Apocalypse (2018) before announcing the winners of his Halloween digital download giveways, as well as upcoming giveaways related to this Zombie Comedy episode—brand new BluRay releases of Shaun of the Dead (2004) and Cockneys vs Zombies (2012)! If you have any BRRRAAAAIIIIINNNS! at all, you’ll stick around.
