Episode 37 – We are fluent in George Romero


Listen Later

This week, Kelly talks about George Romero’s zombies and Mel reads a space book.
Mel’s Recommendation:
 

Book: Fluency by Jen Foehner Wells aka @Jenthulhu

* A Science Fiction novel that centers around a linguist named Jane Holloway attempting to make first contact with an alien species. Jane and her fellow astronauts have been sent to investigate a silent alien spaceship that has been sitting out past Mars for several decades.
* Mel assures Kelly that while there is some romance in this novel, this isn’t a “bodice-ripping-in-space” story.
* The author has included a number of fun nerd references. See if you can find them all!
* Check out the author’s website here and Fluency on Goodreads.

 
Kelly’s Recommendation:
 

Movie/Documentary: Birth of the Living Dead

* 1968. Peace. Love. And the Undead.
* The story of George Romero’s creation of ‘Night of the Living Dead’ and ZOMBIES!
* Learn about how he got his start in film making with Mr. Rogers and Calgon.
* You might want to watch ‘Night of the Living Dead‘ again first.
* Check it out on Netflix!

 

And a bonus video, just for Mel…

 
Social Media Recommendations:
 
Mel:@PopSci: the twitter account of Popular Science magazine. They recently told Mel about a killer amoeba who calls way more people than sharks every year.
Kelly: @CrapTaxidermy: Like it sounds, they memorialize unfortunate examples of very bad attempts at taxidermy.
