May 30, 2013BOU 040 – Huge Fictional Worlds With Lots of Writers Doing Shit in ThemThe second episode of our new and (improved?) format kicked off with a second installment of America’s Least Favorite Game Show, What’s Up Dave’s Butt? Though Dave had nothing to talk about today, Sean managed to get a rant about Target and finger lickers out of him. Which prompted Johnny to wonder if he’s an asshole […]...more42minPlay
May 23, 2013BOU 039 – Our Various Problems with Sci-FiSo, here’s the new format for Better Off Undead… We’re going to talk about things we’re writing about in a way that readers will more enjoy, rather than the process itself. We started off with a voicemail from James the magician offering to come onto our show to talk about the portrayal of “alternative spiritual […]...more42minPlay
May 16, 2013BOU 038 – The One Where We Brainstorm What the Hell to do With the ShowThis week we continued wondering what to do with this show. We read and discussed listener feedback to last week’s question, should we cancel the show or evolve it? Dave ranted about the new Zombieland series. We also talked It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. We brainstormed tag lines for the show, but didn’t come up with […]...more38minPlay
May 09, 2013BOU 037 – Should We Cancel (or Evolve) the Show?On this week’s episode we open up with the question: Should we keep doing this show? And, perhaps for the first time ever, (ironically enough), we stayed on topic the entire show! In short, Johnny started a new (third) podcast, Bigger Better Stronger Faster, which has skyrocketed to huge success, whereas Better Off Undead has […]...more44minPlay
May 02, 2013BOU 036 – The Monster Holocaust Survival KitThis week we opened by talking about last week’s show with Birdemic’s Alan Bagh. By listener request from Garrett Robinson, we talked (briefly) about the new Amazon series, Zombieland. Then we talked about The Storytelling Podcast and the podcast Dave is doing with Garrett, A Game of Geeks, where Dave’s creative impulses aren’t squashed by Johnny and […]...more36minPlay
April 25, 2013BOU 035 – Talking About Birds with Birdemic Star Alan BaghThe interview we thought might NEVER happen! First we had Whitney Moore, and now “Birdemic 2 The Resurrection” star, Alan Bagh called in for an interview with Better Off Undead! We talked with Alan about what it was like to film the first Birdemic movie and what it was like to work with an actual […]...more45minPlay
April 11, 2013BOU 034 – We FINALLY talk Walking Dead FinaleDave was sick today, but if you think that meant a sedate Dave, well, then, you don’t know Dave. The show opened up with Johnny’s announcement that he and Sean were going to write a serious horror book together, and then several other things which set Dave off on tangents, including one about his past […]...more44minPlay
April 04, 2013BOU 033 – Birdemic 2 and Whether Johnny Should Read ImajicaWe opened the show talking about Dave’s favorite book of all time, Clive Barker’s epic, Imajica, which both Johnny and Sean have found too intimidating in its size to read. Dave talked about how the ending (no spoilers) of Inception depressed him while Sean and Johnny interpreted it as a happy ending. Sean spoiled the […]...more48minPlay
March 28, 2013BOU 032 – We Finally Catch Up With The Walking DeadThis week, the guys finally caught up with The Walking Dead recaps! They talked about the past four episodes, which included… The Best Sit-Down Scene Since Heat Dave, who was super punchy this episode, read a book review “quote” from another writer that Dave made up (but it was so horribly offensive that Johnny edited […]...more50minPlay
March 21, 2013BOU 031 – The One Where We Fail to Call Sean’s Mom On-AirThis week the guys failed to recap The Walking Dead (again, because Sean hasn’t caught up yet). They opened with talk about last week’s Better Off Undead episode, and finding out that Johnny is “short” while Sean and Dave are freakish giants. The guys then talked about being nerds in high school, and how Sean’s […]...more47minPlay
