Hey, everyone! Welcome to episode 5 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. Well, it's now 2023 and that means a brand new year for the podcast. After starting off strong with the first four episodes at the end of the last year, your Bede promises a lot of exciting things coming up for the podcast this year with all the many different versions of Night Of The Living Dead he'll be tackling. Being that this is the first episode for 2023, it's only appropriate to bring you all a jam-packed with this fifth episode of the show. In this one, our host will diving into the both the controversial colourised version and comedy troupe Rifftrax's live episode of the original 1968 Night Of The Living Dead.  Joining Bede to discuss these two unique versions of NOTLD are returning guest Marcus Wilturner (critic/contributor of The Super Network) along with first-time guests Amiedoll and John Seavey (host of the podcast Half Price Horror). Highlights in this episode include Bede and his guests wonder if the original NOTLD needed to be colourised, how the feel of the film changes now that it's in colour, the odd colour choices for certain scenes, our favourite funny moments from the live Rifftrax version, the differences between the live show and the pre-recorded commentary, how some of the jokes made us notice things that we have never seen before in the film and so much more.
