Hey, everyone! Welcome to episode 32 of Bede Vs. The Living Dead. The podcast where your host Bede Jermyn explores the remakes, re-edits, reimaginings, homages, unofficial follow-ups and more to George A. Romero’s 1968 classic Night Of The Living Dead across all media.
All the way back on the second episode of the show, your host Bede looked the first official remake of Night Of The Living Dead with the 1990 version that was directed Tom Savini and written by George A. Romero himself. Now it is time for Bede to dive into another remake of one of Romero's Dead films by looking at a film that just happens is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year: the 2004 version of Dawn Of The Dead, which was directed by Zack Snyder (Watchmen, Man Of Steel, Army Of The Dead) and written by James Gunn (Guardians Of The Galaxy, Slither, Tromeo & Juliet).
Joining Bede to discuss this surprisingly successful remake are returning guests Super Marcey (The Super Network, After Dark With Super Marcey), Derek Smith and Roger Conners (co-host of Dark Night Of The Podcast and the writer/director/star of the 2021 indie Night Of The Living Dead remake Rebirth), which Bede covered on the podcast previously). Highlights include discussing how Zack Snyder & James Gunn make this remake of Dawn Of The Dead their own, wondering if this film has one of the greatest openings in horror history, praising the film's character arcs, Bede explaining how this the best action horror film since Aliens, debating whether the characters survived at the end and so much moreSocial Media Links:
