The Binge Movie Aftertaste continues its foray into the realm of George Romero's film versions of the zombie apocalypse. Once again joined by the great Mik Duffy, we take a look at two of Romero's lesser liked efforts, 1985's Day of the Dead and 2005's Land of the Dead.

Day of the Dead is renowned for its almost lovable zombie named Bub, and not much else. But I believe it is safe to say Mik and I both see many more things worthwhile in the film. What exactly? Listen to find out.

It then took Romero twenty whole years to return to what he knows best with Land of the Dead. This time armed with a much grander budget and actors who can act -sort of- we delve into Romero's much more massive vision, and find out if giving him money means we get a film as big on quality as it is on budget.

We then drink to the end of the world. So join us. If you dare.

Note; My dog decided to be extra yappy periodically while I was recording this. So please try to ignore his occasional outburst. Or, just drink and tune him out. Your choice.

More comic TV shows have started, which means that Batch watches all of them so the rest of the staff don't have to.  The first few episodes of Legion and Riverdale are reviewed and we give you the lowdown on what is good and what is terrible.

Batch is joined by friend to all Denny Luis to talk about how awesome Marvel's current lineup of Star Wars books are and why everyone should be reading them.

Marvel's next event Secret Empire is upon us and we give you the low down on what it's all about and why Steve Rogers being a undercover hydra agent is kinda rad.   There's also a pretty important tie in in the new issue of Deadpool.

We also get into Ben Affleck not wanting to be Batman anymore, Mel Gibson possibly directing Suicide Squad 2, My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way, DC's Young Animal imprint and Warren Ellis new Wildstorm reboot and just sick we are of reboots in general.

i still don't know why Luke Perry is in this?

The first Binge Movie Aftertaste of 2017 is finally upon us. And boy did I make a dandy as a kickoff to the new year. After toying around with schedules of people that just weren't coming together, I decided that I was tired of waiting around. Almost out of desperation, I spoke to many good film friends of mine, seeing if something sticks and if I could cobble together something of substance to record. What I ended up with could only be described as a perfect melding of circumstances.

Mik Duffy is a friend of mine whom I have been talking film with for over a year now. When George Romero's Living Dead series came up as something he would like to do with me, my ears immediately perked up. We begin the podcast with a kind of getting to know you segment with Mik, as he divulges he himself made a film based on his love of this very series. What did that film consist of? You'll have to listen to find out.

We then get into the first two films of George Romero's Zombie Apocolypse series. We get into each nook and crannie of both films, and Mik surprises me more than once with some pretty amazing knowledge of the films. Including a tie in with Romero friend Stephen King that will no less than blow your mind.

This is the first of three podcasts examining this series, as well as their remakes. So strap in, grab some fire torches, and get ready for some zombie knowledge. I would also be remised if I didn't thank the amazingly annoying Jack Valley for helping with a lot of behind the scenes aspects of putting these podcasts together. Also, I guess a congratulations is in order. To...the TEAM HE ROOTS FOR. NOT THEIR FANS. Umm, congratulations to the New England Patriots.

Ok, with that out of the way, please enjoy listening to films about flesh eating creatures.

Night of the Living Dead (9/10, 9.5/10)

Batch and Kupka hold down the fort while Valley is off smashing it in what we can only assume is going to be a 6 month session. We should all buy stock in kleenex. In the meantime you can listen to some talk about Resident Evil VII, including how much it takes to convince someone to get it, the fact you can have a massive babadiiick in Conan Exiles, and Kupka has some final thoughts on Dragon Age Inquisition. Enough yapping, go listen.

Strap in for another Patreon driven BingeCast as we tap 5 movie characters to help throw the party to end all parties.  This was recorded after a BingeCast and I have almost no memory of recording other than my chick telling me she heard me yell and slam my hands on the table.  Which seems accurate.

Waiting for Ammon is a new series that will be featured on Monday Morning Moreno.  Law and I decided that, while waiting for Ammon to come online to record the BingeCast, we'd record whatever the hell we talk about.  This first episode has us discussing the new phenomenon of Jim Lawless, wondering what Episode 666 would sound like (you're listening to it), and why Ammon's Skype goes online then immediately offline.  This series is less about content and more about being a fly on the wall of our stupidity.  Enjoy.

There's no football talk in this show.
