We're back from the dead and ready to party! (If by party, you mean talk about the power of punk rock, on set nightmares, and real life police brutality.) We watched Dan O'Bannon's 1985 cult classic, Return of the Living Dead. Eric digs into the details of the film, Jaime says zombies aren't that scary and immediately changes her mind, and we are reminded how unfortunately relevant this film is during civil unrest and a global pandemic. Grab your baseball bats!

Content Warnings: Animal death, zombies, self-sacrifice, the COVID-19 pandemic, nudity, graphic content, and police brutality. 

This week, we donated to Defense Fund PDX (www.instagram.com/defensefundpdx/), Robert Forbes' GoFundMe (https://www.gofundme.com/f/car-speeds-up-into-bakersfield-protester) and Summer Taylor's GoFundMe (https://www.gofundme.com/f/summer-taylor-support-fund). Rest in power.
