231 - You voted, we listened - it's SHAUN OF THE DEAD week! You chose wisely, as it's kind of the perfect way to wrap up this miniseries, with its sprawling tentacles pulling in pieces from all over the genre. Being the final episode of our 'A Brief History of Zombies' miniseries, we also spend some time reflecting on the genre, as well as our final advice on how to survive, should the time come.

229 - It's our 4th entry into our 'A Brief History of Zombies' miniseries and it's a major milestone - FAST ZOMBIES! Not to mention, fast infections.

228 - It's week three of our 'A Brief History of Zombies' miniseries. This week is notable admission to the Zombie cannon, although pretty polarising in appeal. But it's based on a game, a great game! WHAT A GAME! Anyway, Umbrella Corp, Mila Jovovich and a bunch of white dudes that look alike, oh and that one laser that dices that dude up... it's Resident Evil!

227 - It's week 2 of our 'A Brief History of Zombies' miniseries. After episode one's Romero double feature, we now get to explore one of the more extreme spins on the re-animated corpse-genre - it's EVIL DEAD (2). The sorta sequel, sorta remake of Evil Dead, and predecessor to Army of Darkness (don't worry we touch on all three). What does this gory little number contribute to the zombie canon? What can this film teach us about survival amongst the undead? and the big question... Does it hold u...

215 - A little extra AI episode because, why not? This film is very squarely ABOUT AI, while at the same time, not being interested in AI at all. But hey, it's got loads of other stuff. Also, Greg's mic wasn't working properly so some slightly poorer audio quality than usual in parts. Ironically, we turned to AI to fix it, with mixed results.
