Reanimated Podcast

These two episodes were hot fire! A Strange Case and Meet Me in Daegu both explore themes of otherness and expand on this world of magic that the writers of Lovecraft Country are building block by delicious block. Fun times. Come and hang out with Reanimated while we enjoy this bubble bath of horror.

#Alive was fun. I don’t think it’s changing our lives but it feels very much of the moment and therefore it will likely stay with us longer than other films we see for a while.

This week we looked at Lovecraft Country’s A History of Violence which was a Goonies, Indiana Jones fest, but also chock full of so many other plot elements that our heads were spinning. We also dug into the big Walking Dead news that dropped this week. Holy heck!

The episode “Holy Ghost “brings Leticia Lewis into sharper focus on Lovecraft Country and actor Jurnee Smollett proves that she has great range! Leti is a complex character and this episode puts her through the wringer. It’s a lot of fun and hey, there’s ghosts, so come along for the ride!

Reanimated takes a stab at the bulbously packed second episode of Lovecraft Country. We're still into it, but there's at least 10 lbs of in this 5 lb bag.

Switching gears yet again on Reanimated when yet another emergency precluded the ability for half of the hosts to finish the book “Survivor Song” by Paul Tremblay. We’ll get to it eventually, promise! For now, Lovecraft Country is stealing our hearts.

It’s been one thing after another here at Reanimated HQ lately, so, better late than never, we present a double feature of Reality Z and Night of the Living Deb. These are the doldrums of the summer of COVID, y’all, but we’ll get to the other side. pinky sware.

This Belgian "sleaze horror" film throws everything at the wall to what will stick. The result is a bit of a mess, but if you don't think about it too hard, it can be a fun mess.

The Dead Lands continues to entertain Reanimated this week! Next episode we close the loop and we’ll see if the dead will rest in the afterlife.

Reanimated runs through the forests of New Zealand with Waka and Mehe, chasing after “the boy” - wondering all the while why this 6 ft 5 grown- man is referred to as a boy by the cast - but no matter. The show continues to entertain, although these episodes suffer from some drag.

Indian miniseries Betaal is the order of business on Reanimated this week. We've now lined Reanimated HQ with turmeric, salt and ash. Listen on for our impressions!

This was the second best Italian zombie movie ever reviewed by Reanimated. The End? had its share of problems - primary of which was the protagonist Claudio was a huge . Listen on for our impressions of The End?!

Reanimated went on a journey with the 2018 German film Endzeit (Ever After) this week. This was more thoughtful zombie fare than we’ve had lately and it definitely took a couple of turns that were unanticipated while the gorgeous cinematography took top prize.

Watching Blood Quantum was a feast for Reanimated. Great cast and amazing first act, the movie had a few hiccups along the way, but overall it was a blast for us to hang out with. Definitely a fresh take on piscine zombies.

We say “see ya later” to Kingdom, but possibly not goodbye? It sure looks like there could be a season three if the South Korean zombie show gets renewed by Netflix. Well they’ll definitely be getting the Reanimated bump, so that should help.

There were a couple of missteps in episodes 2 and 3 of S2 of Kingdom, but Reanimated isn’t altogether deterred. We can hang with a couple of overly prolonged death scenes, because we know there’s mad zombies coming. Also, there was a samurai.

It’s time for awesome hats and medieval Korean zombie action with our recap of Season 2 of Kingdom on Netflix. It took a minute to remember who all these heroes and villains are, but hot dog! what a show.

Let’s pretend “What We Become” never happened and focus on the stellar episodes 14 and 15 from this season - all we get to see for now of The Walking Dead Prime season 10, until our IRL situation is less horrible. Join Reanimated for this discussion!

It's a way better version of the Battle of Winterfell in episodes Morning Star and Walk with Me this week on Reanimated. We also get treated to some a cappella Iron Maiden which has us whistling along

Two stellar episodes in this week's Season 10 recap, along with the sad news that the season won't wrap until we emerge from the shadow of COVID19. But we still have a few tricks up our sleeves that should carry us a couple more months on Reanimated, so fear not, gentle listener!

We bid farewell to yet more doctors in the Walking Dead Universe in these episodes of The Walking Dead. We also acknowledge that watching TWD reminds us that things could be worse IRL, so join us in our ongoing recap of TWD Season 10!

Reanimated is still transmitting in the time of coronavirus. Here’s what we had to say about Negan rejecting his mini Savior and joining up with the Whisperers!
