In 2011 Maximilien Dejoie made a mockumentary about a highly contagious disease outbreak that essentially turned people into zombies. Who knew that a decade later his film would eerily mirror a real virus outbreak and offer insight into how our social systems would collapse. Maximilien joins the show to talk about his film "The Gerber Syndrome", his documentary background, and how he'd love to work with Sylvester Stallone.
