Zombies are EVERYWHERE and now they’re on this podcast. Come, let us tell you ways in which we are finding them interesting in this zombie-saturated pop culture landscape.
Your podcasters’ credentials:
Pete: Weird Al’s 77 songs mashup
Martha: Supernatural rewatch
Austin: Trollhunters on Netflix

Next episode we’re taking it light in the spirit of summer vacation, and taking a bit of a recess to talk about what we’ve been watching and consuming this summer. Our ups, downs, recommendations and what you should stay away from. We may have a guest, who knows!
Your homework for July 18 is to kick it and watch some fauxtige television of your choice. Maybe catch a showing of Ant-Man and the Wasp if you’re feeling ambitious.
