(buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2124392/open_sms) In this thrilling episode of the Zombie Book Club, hosts Dan and Leah take a nostalgic trip back to 2003 to revisit "28 Days Later," the film that redefined the zombie genre for both of them. As they lament the current impossibility of screening the movie due to Sony's rights acquisition for the upcoming sequel, "28 Years Later," they also celebrate the unexpected hero of the day: the librarian who ensures this cinematic gem remains accessible through interlibrary loans. Dan and Leah delve into the enduring debate over whether the film's infected are truly zombies, reflecting on writer Alex Garland's acceptance of the term despite initial hesitations, and dissect the movie's exploration of themes such as animal rights, the necessity of human connection for survival, mental health, and the realization that money loses all meaning in the face of an apocalypse.We critique and admire various aspects of the movie, from its groundbreaking portrayal of fast zombies and the gritty realism of a post-apocalyptic Britain, to its more questionable artistic choices and the problematic depiction of gender and race. Leah shares her frustration over a friend's refusal to watch the movie despite Cillian Murphy's full frontal scene, and highlights the film's failure to pass several representation tests including the Bechdel, DuVernay, Vito Russo, and Fries tests. Despite these criticisms, Dan and Leah rate it from their 2003, as well as current perspectives, appreciating its impact while acknowledging its flaws. Tune in for a deep dive into "28 Days Later," a film that continues to provoke thought, debate, and a deep appreciation for the complexities of surviving a zombie apocalypse.Follow our linktree for social media links, and links to all the places you can find our podcast!https://linktr.ee/zombiebookclubZombie Book Club Voicemail(614) 699-0006Zombie Book Club EmailZombieBookClubPodcast@gmail.com (mailto:ZombieBookClubPodcast@gmail.com) Follow our linktree for social media links, and links to all the places you can find our podcast!https://linktr.ee/zombiebookclubZBC Discord Serverdiscord.com/invite/8hCSb4egZombie Book Club Voicemail(614) 699-0006Zombie Book Club EmailZombieBookClubPodcast@gmail.com (mailto:ZombieBookClubPodcast@gmail.com) Our Secret Website That Isn't Finishedzombiebookclub.io (zombiebookclub.io) Our Merchandise Store (Where you can find our Evil Magic Chicken Zombie Shirts)zombie-book-club.myspreadshop.com (zombie-book-club.myspreadshop.com)
Zombiechosis: Are We All Undead on the Inside? | Casual Dead | Zombie Book Club Podcast Episode 33 Danger - Zombie Book Club 2024-02-25 | Send us a Text Message. (buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2124392/open_sms) Welcome back to the Zombie Book Club, where your hosts, Dan and Leah, take a deep dive into the curious and potentially groundbreaking concept of Zombiechosis. This episode, we're stepping away from our usual undead narratives to explore a mental health phenomenon that's yet to be recognized in the DSM but feels eerily familiar to our modern lives. Inspired by the distress seen in captive animals, known as zoochosis, we ponder if humans are experiencing a similar fate, dubbing it Zombiechosis. Through a checklist that compares our lifestyle to our species-specific needs, we explore how modern society's detachment from nature, movement, social connectivity, and sensory engagement might be leading us towards a zombified existence. Are we nurturing our human essence, or are we merely surviving in a habitat that resembles life but lacks its substance? Join us in this thought-provoking episode as we dissect whether we're more Homo sapien or zombie, and what that means for our future. Don't forget to subscribe for more undead discussions mixed with real-life anecdotes and listener interactions that make our book club anything but dead.Follow our linktree for social media links, and links to all the places you can find our podcast!https://linktr.ee/zombiebookclubZombie Book Club Voicemail(614) 699-0006Zombie Book Club EmailZombieBookClubPodcast@gmail.com (mailto:ZombieBookClubPodcast@gmail.com) Follow our linktree for social media links, and links to all the places you can find our podcast!https://linktr.ee/zombiebookclubZBC Discord Serverdiscord.com/invite/8hCSb4egZombie Book Club Voicemail(614) 699-0006Zombie Book Club EmailZombieBookClubPodcast@gmail.com (mailto:ZombieBookClubPodcast@gmail.com) Our Secret Website That Isn't Finishedzombiebookclub.io (zombiebookclub.io) Our Merchandise Store (Where you can find our Evil Magic Chicken Zombie Shirts)zombie-book-club.myspreadshop.com (zombie-book-club.myspreadshop.com)

The narrative weaves together their struggles, culminating in Andy's ultimate sacrifice to ensure Rosie's safety, entrusting her to Thoomi and other survivors.

(buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2124392/open_sms) Have you ever pondered the thin line separating human from alien, or grappled with the notion that our primal instincts might override societal norms? Tune in as we journey through Octavia Butler's "Clay's Ark," a poignant and harrowing tale that compels us to confront such unsettling questions. With a trigger warning firmly in place, we launch into a robust dialogue on the challenging themes this novel tackles – from graphic violence to the nature of humanity in the face of a mysterious alien microorganism. As fans of Butler's work and the rich genre of Afrofuturism, we share our insights into her pioneering role as an African American voice in science fiction and reflect on the global issues her narratives eerily parallel.This episode isn't just about the depth of Butler's storytelling; it's also a candid look into our own lives and preconceptions. We laugh over our disaster preparedness (or lack thereof), muse on family holiday visits, and even toy with the idea of a book club shake-up. As we probe the characters' inner turmoils and the novel's philosophical underpinnings, we question our autonomy in decision-making and the grip of biological drives on our actions. Whether discussing Eli's battle with civilized values or mulling over the potential emergence of a new apex species, we're not just analyzing a book – we're dissecting the core of what it means to be human.Wrapping up, we delve into Butler's nuanced social commentary and representation, celebrating her triumphs in diversity and complex female characters while also acknowledging the era's limitations. We debate the expanded definition of zombies, ponder over a post-apocalyptic world's ethical dilemmas, and leave you with a hearty recommendation for "Parable of the Sower." Our episode is a tapestry woven with humor, passion, and the occasional existential crisis. So, whether you're here for the thought-provoking content or to see if we'll finally get that book club departure, join us for a conversation that promises to be good.Follow our linktree for social media links, and links to all the places you can find our podcast! https://linktr.ee/zombiebookclubFollow our linktree for social media links, and links to all the places you can find our podcast!https://linktr.ee/zombiebookclubZBC Discord Serverdiscord.com/invite/8hCSb4egZombie Book Club Voicemail(614) 699-0006Zombie Book Club EmailZombieBookClubPodcast@gmail.com (mailto:ZombieBookClubPodcast@gmail.com) Our Secret Website That Isn't Finishedzombiebookclub.io (zombiebookclub.io) Our Merchandise Store (Where you can find our Evil Magic Chicken Zombie Shirts)zombie-book-club.myspreadshop.com (zombie-book-club.myspreadshop.com)

(buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2124392/open_sms) 2004 Dawn of the Dead - Unearthing a Zombie ClassicIn this episode, join us as we dive into the 2004 remake of "Dawn of the Dead," directed by Zack Snyder. We dissect the story of Ana, a nurse navigating a nightmarish, zombie-ridden world, and her encounters with a diverse group of survivors in a shopping mall. As they fend off hordes of fast, aggressive zombies, internal conflicts and ethical challenges, such as Andre's harrowing ordeal with his zombie family, bring tension to a boiling point. We also ponder how the narrative might shift in the absence of zombies, from a survival horror to a drama centered on human connections.We critically examine the film through various representation lenses. Does it pass the Bechdel test? Yes, but with nuances reflecting the era's gender portrayals. The film's racial representation and its handling of an interracial couple raise questions about its success in passing the race test. Meanwhile, its approach to LGBTQ+ characters, particularly through the Vito Russo Test, reveals the limitations and attitudes of early 2000s cinema.Join us as we explore survival tips gleaned from the movie, our picks for the best and worst parts, and Leah’s assessment of the film’s capacity to retain attention in today's evolved landscape of zombie storytelling.
