Zack Snyder's Zombie Movie Trilogy

To conclude the flesh-eaters themed week, we note Zack Snyder's Zombie themed trilogy (Dawn of the Dead remake, Army of the Dead & Army of Thieves):   Is the 2004 version of Dawn the rare example of how to make a remake its own thing without having to draw needless comparisons to the original yet completely different film?   And that and why the Netflix follow-ups cause a divisive reaction!     (Plus, why The Crazies is also a rare kind of remake that stands on its own two feet.)     GUESTS INCLUDE: The Vern (Cinema Recall) Ryan McGann (Offtopic Podcast) Oreo Brewer Richard Glenn Schmidt (Hello! This is the Doomed Show) Matthew Soto Gabriel Jewett Steve Unger Jr. Mack Lambert (Mack & the Movies) Allen Adams & Kevin Edwards (Deadnotes Podcast) Jeff Kerr, Gil Palmer, Crystal Hairston,  Cameron Scott (Cinema Degeneration) & Jon Mark.     SONG INTRO: "Viva Las Vengeance" by Panic! at the Disco
