Ep 155 The Return of the Living Dead

It’s Punk Horror month, and punk’s not just a costume, it’s a way of life, maaaan! We kick off with Dan O’Bannon’s classic “The Return of the Living Dead”. A movie in which Linnea Quigley ruins the tracking on a million VHS tapes; Poltergeist’s Mr Teague still hasn’t learnt about effective corpse disposal; and the most sensible and practical character is almost certainly a Nazi war criminal in hiding. A fundamental horror comedy filled with pitch perfect performances, a real vein of nihilism and buckets of gore. The film that gave us running zombies and the love of brains - watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us.
