Binge Movie Aftertaste – George Romero’s Living Dead Retrospective w/ Mik Duffy Part 1
The first Binge Movie Aftertaste of 2017 is finally upon us. And boy did I make a dandy as a kickoff to the new year. After toying around with schedules of people that just weren’t coming together, I decided that I was tired of waiting around. Almost out of desperation, I spoke to many good film friends of mine, seeing if something sticks and if I could cobble together something of substance to record. What I ended up with could only be described as a perfect melding of circumstances.
Mik Duffy is a friend of mine whom I have been talking film with for over a year now. When George Romero’s Living Dead series came up as something he would like to do with me, my ears immediately perked up. We begin the podcast with a kind of getting to know you segment with Mik, as he divulges he himself made a film based on his love of this very series. What did that film consist of? You’ll have to listen to find out.
We then get into the first two films of George Romero’s Zombie Apocolypse series. We get into each nook and crannie of both films, and Mik surprises me more than once with some pretty amazing knowledge of the films. Including a tie in with Romero friend Stephen King that will no less than blow your mind.
This is the first of three podcasts examining this series, as well as their remakes. So strap in, grab some fire torches, and get ready for some zombie knowledge. I would also be remised if I didn’t thank the amazingly annoying Jack Valley for helping with a lot of behind the scenes aspects of putting these podcasts together. Also, I guess a congratulations is in order. To…the TEAM HE ROOTS FOR. NOT THEIR FANS. Umm, congratulations to the New England Patriots.
Ok, with that out of the way, please enjoy listening to films about flesh eating creatures.
