232. My Boyfriend's Back
from Large Marge Sent Us
My Boyfriend's Back is a black comedy from 1993, which believe it or not, is a commentary about social discrimination but all importantly doesn't take itself that seriously! Johnny Dingle finds himself dead after saving his childhood crush, Missy, from a robber's bullet. Lucky for him, he's able to rise from the dead and come back to life as a zombie to take Missy to the prom, but not without some unfortunate consequences like rotting flesh, his ear falling off, and townspeople trying to burn him alive. We'll talk about how this fits into the same genre as movies like Edward Scissorhands and Beauty and the Beaut, the history behind zombie lore and some more famous zombie flicks, and whether Jujubes are a good candy or not.
