Episode 128/Living Dead Crossover part 2 of 3 - "When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the Earth."

Welcome back, film lovers, horror freaks, and assorted creatures of the night to a brand new episode of the Silver Screen Podcast, and the second installment in our special Living Dead Crossover event. This week, hosts Mike & D.K. are joined once again by zombie superfan Nita — plus some fresh meat in the form of Josh — as we hit the food court, try on some fancy new accessories, and take a joyride sliding down the escalators. That’s right, we’re heading to the mall for a review of George A. Romero’s 1978 classic Dawn of the Dead. Our quartet of survivors barricades themselves in to discuss Romero’s razor-sharp allegory of consumer culture, satirical jabs at materialism and greed, the sometimes jarring tonal swings between horror and comedy, and the rich blend of character drama and tragedy. Mike dives into the film’s three different cuts — including a deep dive into the extended “Cannes Cut” and touching on Dario Argento’s European version (Zombi) — including how the latter led to the bizarre tangle of international sequel lines and conflicting titles. D.K. digs into the film’s production history, the genesis of the idea, original scripted ending and spotlights Tom Savini’s groundbreaking gore and zombie FX (along with the one decision he’s admitted regretting). Expect a thoughtful discussion on how the film impacted us all, favourite and least-loved moments, deeper critical analysis, and more. So grab your shopping cart, raid the back rooms, and resist the pull of nihilism as you tune in — this episode hits harder than a helicopter blade scalping or a machete to the skull.

Cinema Classics Number 19/Living Dead Crossover part 1 of 3 - "They’re coming to get you, Barbra…"

Spooky season is here, and Silver Screen is kicking it off with something big: a crossover deep dive into George A. Romero’s legendary Living Dead Trilogy. This week we're kicking things off on Cinema Classics. Mike and D.K. are joined by our own Sci-Fi/Scream Queen and zombie fangirl "Nita of the Living Dead" to tackle the one that started it all: Night of the Living Dead (1968). From its scrappy independent origins to its seismic cultural impact, we explore how Romero’s debut redefined horror, created the modern zombie, and still shocks nearly six decades later. We dig into the film’s production, themes, performances, legacy—and decide if it still deserves its reputation as a cornerstone of horror cinema. Board up the windows and doors, stay out of the cellar and join us as we enter the darkest night...
