Bede Vs. The Living Dead Episode 2 - Night Of The Living Dead (1990)... The First Remake

Hey, everyone! Welcome to episode 2 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. Now that the original 1968 film has been covered, the time has finally come to tackle the many different versions of Night Of The Living Dead that have been out over the years ever since it fell into the public domain. First up in this journey: the 1990 remake of the film starring Tony Todd, Patricia Tallman, Tom Towles and Bill Moseley, which was adapted by George A. Romero himself and was the feature directorial debut of legendary make-up artist Tom Savini. Once again Bede is not alone as is joined by returning guest (and podcast co-host) Super Marcey (The Super Network, After Dark With Super Marcey) and first time guest Matt Konopka (KillerHorrorCritic.com). In this episode, Bede and his guests discuss how the remake compares to the original Night Of The Living Dead, what the remake improves upon the 1968 film, the social and political commentary of this version, debate whether the heighten tone works for the story, the new elements that they added to it, Tom Savini's struggles with directing it, the new cast's interpretations of the characters, the new character arc for "Barbara" and so much more.  Also Bede introduces a new segment that'll appear every few episodes on the show called The Living Dead Unreleased, which is a quick discussion on a version of Night Of The Living Dead that either hasn't been released yet or has never been made. For this one, Bede and his guests dive into the still currently unreleased but hopefully will come out soon independently made prequel/sequel Night Of The Living Dead: Genesis, which has Judith O'Dea reprising her role of "Barbara" from the 1968 film.
