169. Zombies (with John Hunter)

from Shot/Reverse Shot Hosted by Shot/Reverse Shot

Inspired by the US release of The Girl with All the Gifts, a fantastic British zombie movie that offers an exciting and emotionally complex take on the genre, Ed is joined by John Hunter to talk about the film, as well as the ongoing dominance of zombies in pop culture. They also try to explain the success of TV shows like The Walking Dead and iZombie, draw parallels between the rise of zombie fiction and the concurrent rise of superhero cinema, and discover unusual parallels between the zombie and Western genres. Note: The zombie cop show Ed was trying to remember towards the end of the episode was Babylon Fields. 00:00:00 - 00:05:27 - Intro & News 00:05:28 - 00:20:25 - Ed & John discuss The Girl with All the Gifts 00:20:26 - 00:54:51 - Ed & John discuss Zombies in pop culture 00:54:52 - 00:59:19 - SRS Recommends & Outro
