Binge Movie Aftertaste – George Romero’s Living Dead Retrospective w/ Mik Duffy Part II

The Binge Movie Aftertaste continues its foray into the realm of George Romero’s film versions of the zombie apocalypse. Once again joined by the great Mik Duffy, we take a look at two of Romero’s lesser liked efforts, 1985’s Day of the Dead and 2005’s Land of the Dead.

Day of the Dead is renowned for its almost lovable zombie named Bub, and not much else. But I believe it is safe to say Mik and I both see many more things worthwhile in the film. What exactly? Listen to find out.

It then took Romero twenty whole years to return to what he knows best with Land of the Dead. This time armed with a much grander budget and actors who can act -sort of- we delve into Romero’s much more massive vision, and find out if giving him money means we get a film as big on quality as it is on budget.

We then drink to the end of the world. So join us. If you dare.

Note; My dog decided to be extra yappy periodically while I was recording this. So please try to ignore his occasional outburst. Or, just drink and tune him out. Your choice.
