All they really want to do is eat your brains... and they've been doing it since 1968. As the original George A. Romero zombie classic reaches its 50th anniversary, we take a look back at the grand-daddy of zombie films. Then we compare it to the annoying 3rd cousin that nobody's quite sure is really related to anybody else in the room: Return of the Living Dead Part II. Happy Halloween, everyone!...

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the wildest college party in the history of film. We know that we’re typically the “30” something podcast, but we felt that this movie needed our attention.

We thought that this situation absolutely required a...

All you need is ganas... the desire to succeed. I'd also argue that a math teacher willing to stand up to a defeated educational system, gangs, and heart attacks don't hurt either.
