Bede Vs. The Living Dead Episode 19 - Medium and Cinema Toast's Night Of The Living Dead Themed TV Episodes

Hey, everyone! Welcome to episode 19 of Bede Vs. The Living Dead. The podcast where your host Bede Jermyn explores the remakes, re-edits, reimaginings, homages, unofficial follow-ups and more to George A. Romero’s 1968 classic Night Of The Living Dead across all media. As we are now one episode away from reaching the milestone episode 20 of the podcast, there's one aspect of media that we haven't explored yet when it comes to Night Of The Living Dead: television. You wouldn't think that the original film could work as part of a TV series, but two seperate TV shows managed to incorperate NOTLD in one of their episodes in a very unique way. For this 19th edition of the podcast, your host Bede takes a look at the NOTLD themed episodes of the Emmy-winning supernatural drama Medium (2005-2011) with its season 6 episode Bite Me and the season 1 episode Attack Of The Karens from the experimental comedy show Cinema Toast (2021). Joining Bede to to discuss of these two episodes of TV, is a returning guest who is making her 3rd appearance on the show; Lindsay Wilkins, the host of the double feature podcast ⁠Schlock & Awe⁠. Highlights in this one include Lindsay's thoughts on watching both shows for the first time, how Medium's episode Bite Me incorperates footage from Night Of The Living Dead (1968) into its plot, Bede & Lindsay wondering if Bite Me is more of a homage to A Nightmare On Elm Street than NOTLD, diving into the episode's most insane aspects, how Cinema Toast's episode Attack Of The Karens uses NOTLD and other public domain films to build its story, discuss whether the episode was a better re-dubbing of NOTLD than both Night Of The Day Of The Dawn... (1991) and Night Of The British Dead (2022), the subtext and themes that it explores and so much more.
