However before he checks out every different version of Night Of The Living Dead , Bede decided that it would only be fair that we start the show by going back to where it all began by discussing the masterpiece that is the original 1968 version that was co-written/director by the legendary George A. Romero, who made his directing debut here. However he won't alone on this one, as he joined his first ever guests Super Marcey (his podcast co-host of the many podcasts on The Super Network), Marcus Wilturner and Derek Smith.
