The Times They Are a-Zombie-ing: Night of the Living Dead (1968)
from Kael Your Idols: A New Hollywood Podcast · host Sam Ludwig and Elena Gibson
In this episode Sam and Elena sink their teeth into one of the most influential films of all time: George Romero’s independently produced Night of the Living Dead (1968). A gripping flick about flesh eating Ghouls and the people trying to fight them off - it also happens to be one of our favorite films ever made. The movie is so rich in social commentary that it could only be a product of the 60s and its success could only have come during the New Hollywood era. Topics include: the value of cemeteries, Pittsburgh enthusiasm, and the complexity of the lead character: Ben.
