Episode 297: Glowzies (2023)

Send us a text

Take a really good actor, like James Remar, give him a bad script, awful CGI, terrible co-stars and some of the worst green screen I have ever seen, and you end up with a sub-par Remar. And that is what we get in Glowzies, yes, glowing zombies. And it is the sort of glowstick/predator blood glowing too.

After an alien goo related incident 30 years earlier a bunch of pointless influencers come to investigate an old steel mill in a Colorado valley. They go to the local diner where a huge chef plies old men Remar, Tech and Smelly with food. The guys have no memory of the day before, their lives, or anything and don't think it is weird at all. But they agree to go with the kids to the mill.

There their memories start to come back and it turns out they were there when the incident happened, alien goo etc, and since then have been used as canaries by the Department of Defense. They have been drugged every single day for 30 years? Yes, makes no sense.

Anyway, the zombies are part of a glowing alien hive mind, and we have about 5 episodes of plot elements from Rick and Morty crammed in.

A glowing gooey zombie episode of Goosebumps. Below average. I liked the drugging idea, but the rest was pish.
