Episode Eighty-five - The Kevin Murphy Zombie Episode

It takes a lot of “BRAINNZ!” to enjoy this episode. We chat with the great Kevin Murphy of Rifftrax and MST3K fame about "Night of the Living Dead," the zombie flick as a vehicle for social commentary, making fun of "Casablanca," and the difference between art and schlock in the horror genre. Joining in the undead mayhem is Junkmouth podcast emcee Erik Koski as a guest host, because regular host Kate Page fled to Canada to avoid The Hunger. The podcast gang discusses a very special episode of the Revival League, our original comedy-horror retelling of “War of the Worlds,” airing this Halloween. In “Spooky Movies We’d Like to See Riffed,” an ancient Micmac burial ground that resurrects the dead, along with some heavy movie camp, rises from the grave with 1989’s “Pet Sematary.” Then it only takes four men to do Kate’s job in her absence. Our weekly installment of “Music! Science! Cats!” examines the music of Salt Lake-based wrestler/rapper Scott “Rhyme Time” Knopf, the astronomical discovery of two colliding neutron stars, and Fish and Chips, the backpacking adventure cats. Because Greg just can’t help tampering with eldritch horrors he doesn’t understand, he brings another pumpkin pie soda to the recording studio. Ryan’s reaction to R.W. Knudsen Sparkling Pumpkin Spice does not disappoint. And in “A Very Adamant Stance,” Erica dabbles in the occult to put her pushy boss in his place. Plus, James and Ron take on "Final Justice." All this and Nerf’s new line of “Lucille Be Kind" Soft Foam Bats for Kidz (for Negans of all ages!), on this week’s episode of the Revival League Podcast!
