DOCTOR OF THE DEAD

89: We Take Aim at a Post-Apocalyptic Classic – THE OMEGA MAN!

Audio Leave a comment

Arnold and Scott return to chat about one of their all-time favorite post-apocalyptic action romps. Pour some genuine 160 proof old Anglo Saxon, dress for dinner, and enjoy the end of the world with Charlton Heston in 1971’s THE OMEGA MAN! One of three adaptations of Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel I AM LEGEND, Chuck’s film falls between Vincent Price vehicle THE LAST MAN ON EARTH (for which the guys recorded a FREE feature-length audio commentary), and Will Smith’s 2007 I AM LEGEND. This in-depth discussion wouldn’t be complete without fellow Omega Man Scott Collura of IGN.com (who also joined the guys for a G2V Podcast on the PLANET OF THE APES franchise). And remember…there is no phone ringing, dammit!

85: The Apocalyptic Conclusion – DAY OF THE DEAD Plus “Year of the Zombie” Films

Audio Leave a comment

By popular demand! At long last (and just in time for their 85th episode), Arnold and Scott turn their attention to one of the most apocalyptic achievements of horror cinema, the conclusion of George Romero’s first immortal trilogy of zombie mayhem, DAY OF THE DEAD (1985)! In this special tribute installment, the guys chat about favorite moments from such an oft-viewed classic, themes that resonate as powerfully in 2016 as they did in 1985, and some of the reasons why the zombies of DAY represent the apex of effects mastery by Tom Savini and his dedicated team. Head down into the salt mines (and get ready to do a lot of yelling), tell Bub to say hello to his Aunt Alicia, and have yourself one truly horrific day!

…But wait, that’s not all! After all, 1985 was “The Year of the Zombie,” so Arnold and Scott also talk about other unforgettable zombie milestones like THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, RE-ANIMATOR, LIFEFORCE, WARNING SIGN, and a number of others you might not even remember!

68: The Undying Classic – NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD

Audio Leave a comment

By popular demand! At long last (and just in time for their 68th episode), Arnold and Scott turn their attention to one of the towering achievements of horror cinema, the start of the modern zombie genre that is…NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968)! In this special tribute installment, the guys chat about favorite moments from such an oft-viewed classic, themes that resonate as powerfully in 2016 as they did in 1968, and some of the reasons why the ghouls of NIGHT are not quite the zombies people may remember. Board up the doors and windows (and don’t miss that one over your shoulder in the living room), tell your companion to “just calm down,” and settle in for one hell of a night!
