The Undead Symphony

Send us Fan Mail In a post-apocalyptic wasteland a group of scientists are rescued by a military ops team so they can fight zombies for control of the planet. Sounds shit. I'm in. 1.9/10 on IMDB now that is something, this could be a challenger to bottom of the barrel. From an IMDB review - Everything is poor in this movie: story, screenplay, dialogs, direction, performances, lighting, specia...

Send us Fan Mail EPISODE 271… still waiting for Michael. And I have been waiting a long time for him. But, much like London buses, am sure after waiting for ages 3 Michaels will then come along. In this episode, I want to start by talking about the Neighbours Halloween special, Neighbours versus Zombies, 5 episodes of 6 minutes or so, equating to a normal half an hour episode of the popular Austra...

Send us Fan Mail A 4 part, 2 and a bit hour What If? where lesser Marvel characters run about trying to defeat the Red Witch and her zombie hordes. If you liked What If? it is ok. If you hated everything since End Game then you will hate this. It is Ironheart, and Ms Marvel and the girl from Hawkeye, plus a few comedy characters, a confusing Moon Knight/Blade combination, Valkyrie, although she lo...

Send us Fan Mail A lovely evening chatting with Paul from the Black Country about all things zombie, from Michael Jackson's thriller to being not so thrilled with Brad Pitt's World War Z, crying over his Virus versus Voodoo score and Michael going to a parents-teacher evening for one of his brood. 

Send us Fan Mail Good morning dear listeners, Shana Tova and happy new year to my Jewish listeners. In this catch up Michael and I discuss our movie of the year so far MadS, as well as Neighbours versus Zombies, strewth! And lots of other stuff as we prepare to talk to Paul from Yammityville Horror Podcast and Andy Beglin. Grab a half-espresso soy milk mochaccino and come listen.

Send us Fan Mail Ollie mentioned this one, BLOOD BROTHERS LIFE HARVEST and I said I would watch it. Much like the Dexter Fletcher Dead Man Walking aka Autumn is it based on a novel by novelists in my zombie community. 93 minutes. 2025. Looks shit. He is now saying that he recommended we skip it, he did not recommend that we watch it. The trailer is a scene where two floppy hair teens with pistols...

Send us Fan Mail Hello there and welcome to this, the 265th episode of the US with ME DS in which I will review WE ARE ZOMBIES a 2023 Canadian French zombie horror comedy film based on the comic series The Zombies That Ate the World and there is a tale with this one. It is officially the last physical media of the year and you know what that means? Yes, after reviewing it we box up the entire year...

Send us Fan Mail DEAD MEN WALKING. Pfff! Where to start with this one? I went into it with high hopes for the 2009 Canadian movie starring Dexter Fletcher and David Carridine, and zero hopes for the 2005 maximum security prison lockdown story. How wrong can a man be? Ok, so neither was great. The 2005 movie tells the story of a guy who kills 4 friends with a shotgun because they are clearly infect...

Send us Fan Mail Taking a break between the Zombie Night double bill, Re-Animator and MadS in this episode of the podcast we are delighted to share airtime with writer/producer/actor and all round nice guy Lee Donaldson. We talk his zombie history, his top (I think it was 8 or 9) zombie movies and the inspiration for his zombie not-so-short DEAD ZERO.  As well as his plans for the full feature. We...

Send us Fan Mail Re-Animator (1985), directed by Stuart Gordon, is a cult-classic horror-comedy that blends gore, dark humor, and science fiction. Loosely based on H.P. Lovecraft’s serialized story Herbert West: Reanimator, the film follows medical student Herbert West, played by Jeffrey Combs, whose obsession with conquering death drives him to develop a glowing green serum that can reanimate the...

Send us Fan Mail Oh this one is on you, Stephanie Grant. This one is all on you. Zombie Night and Zombie Night 2. No, not the zombie night with Daryl Hannah, Alan Ruck and Anthony Michael Hall written and directed by Murphy from Z Nation. Nope. That scored a flat tire of a 3.5/10. This, the 2003 Canadian movie, its Sequel and then that mockumentary about the making of it were all written and direc...

Send us Fan Mail In a genre that can go from the ludicrous to the sublime to the horrific, from farting zombie versions of the founding fathers to our daughters slow decline into zombification to your face being ripped off and eaten in front of you, there is room for a bit of everything. We have seen Attack of the Flatulating Dead, The Sadness, Maggie, and we have seen those out there over the top...

Send us Fan Mail And I am back from a few nights in a cabin in the woods to work on the book and today I was at Frightfest 2025 down in Leicester Square were slasher 213 Bones was showing as I turned up for my merch, and now I am home and onto something different, French, 2024, MadS on Shudder.

Then we cut cut grainy colour home movie of a woman walking and smiling at the camera to awful fiddle O...

Send us Fan Mail An inconsistent bag of cats from 2010. Cast wise we have the Iranian-American director's dad, who cannot act for toffee, Sydney Sweeney's debut aged 12 and Doc from Z Nation.  Is it a comedy? Kinda. Is it a drama? Kinda. We have a lot of political discourse from both sides of the house, the tiny island of Port Gamble has the right wing, church going gun toting ass hats a...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode Michael and I talk Zom Rom Coms, the zombie romantic comedy sub sub-genre of this sub-genre of horror. Avoiding the obvious Shaun of the Dead, we discuss those we have seen and scored well. Burying the Ex, As We Know it, Warm Bodies and the most recent Life After Beth all scoring in the 6s and 6.5s. So high scoring for us. Come listen to us chat about why this much...

Send us Fan Mail I am still waiting for FORGIVE US ALL, Z MOM and QUEENS OF THE DEAD but in this episode, a spin of the wheel, a roll of the dice, a shake of the magic 8 ball brought me here to Rotten Tomatoes list of the top 100 zombies movies… which is… … so we haven’t covered… Reanimator at #4 Autopsy of Jane doe at 16 Corpse bride at 18  We are zombies at 27 Friend of the world at 31 Dead drea...

Reilly , and Anna Kendrick.  A young man is shocked to find his deceased girlfriend Beth alive, who is no longer an adorable woman but a walking zombie. 5.7/ 10 on IMDB On review aggregator Rotten T...

Send us Fan Mail This one was dumb. Trailer park mullet sporting, C-word over-utilising Dutch thugs from opposing villages face off at the soccer games, drag races and facials over the local alcoholic pregnant prostitute. Until they have to join forces after an alien meteor crashes into farming country, causing the cows to overproduce zombie making milk. It is dumber than is sounds. Best not watch...

Send us Fan Mail After two seasons and 9 hours of dare I call it entertainment? Michael and I recap our time in Roarton. Did we love it? We certainly enjoyed season 1. Season 2 less so, but it is certainly worth a watch. There are precious few zombie shows out there, and even fewer that re worth your time. Our recommendation? Watch season 1. Maybe season 2 if you have the ability to filter out doz...

Send us Fan Mail We are back in Rourton for Season 2, and a sneak peek of what Season 3 would have become thanks to writer Dominic Mitchell as well as a possibly inebriated Ricky Tomlinson (Ken Burton from both seasons) telling us he never turns down a role. Bless him. But at least he responded to us, eh? Eh? Luke? Onto the show. 6 hour long episodes with Kieren being less of a character in a far...

Send us Fan Mail Steph over at the Listeners of the Dead podcast said this 2014 running infected Australian effort would cause smoke to come out of my ears. It almost did. It was just a very basic story of a bunch of one-dimensional survivors living in a bad location in my opinion, a farmhouse (no windows!). They are either pathetic whimpering women (Marge says nothing, Sammy says 2 words, Evie ju...
