Welcome to episode 73 of Bede Vs. The Living Dead.
It has returned! After a six week break, the podcast is back with its long-awaited new episode that's also the first one for 2026. Your host Bede Jermyn is very excitied for this year, as he has a lot of great topics centred around Night Of The Living Dead lined up for the show in 2026. Films, comics, novels, music, plays, short films, re-edits, radio dramas and so much more are on the agenda. For this very first episode for 2026, Bede decided to start off with a bang by taking a look at the fifth instalment of writer/director George A. Romero's Dead series with the 2007 film Diary Of The Dead.
Joining Bede to discuss this jam packed episode are returning guests Marcus Wilturner (writer/contributor for The Super Network), Warren Money (co-host of s#1tcast), Kevin Nez (co-host of The MAC-NEZ Podcast, The E Socitey Podcast) and first-time guest writer/author Josh Plock (House of Geekery). Highlights include Josh discussing the first-time he saw Night Of The Living Dead, what were everyone's feelings on Diary Of The Dead?, does the found-footage approach work for this entry?, is the film too heavy handed and contradictory when it comes to its themes?, how the minor character of Samuel stole the show, were the characters in this film the most unlikable of the franchise? and so much more.
NOTE: During the episode, Kevin Nez had technical difficults with his internet, so he had to drop out for the second half of the show.
