190 - Pt. 1 - Dawn of the Dead 1978 (CC)

Uhhhhh… What is this? Certainly not zombies, we can tell you that much. George Romero’s much-acclaimed undead monsters amount to little more than really disoriented bluish humans. Somehow, this is enough to terrorize people in a mall for over two hours - and also enough for critics to give DAWN OF THE DEAD a fresh 93% Tomatometer score. Listen to Alex & Julio as they yearn for the fast pacing and entertaining characters of the Zack Snyder remake and wonder why the world holds Romero’s creations in such high regard!
