Episodes

  1. Yellow Couldhavebeen

    In the season one finale, Sol introduces Conor to Robert Zemeckis' aborted Yellow Submarine remake - truly a film that no one asked for.

    Sol and Conor are taking on Never of the Dead - that is, attempts to create sequels to films from George A. Romero's seminal zombie franchise (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead), that never came to fruition.
