This week on Horror Joy, we're back to the undead for a second helping of brains. Brian and Jeff are diving deeper into the zombie phenomenon, exploring the cultural and societal implications of these shambling hordes.
We'll be chewing over some meaty topics, including:
- Zombies and Capitalism: How do the mindless, consumerist zombies reflect our own society's obsession with consumption?
- Race and the Undead: We'll examine how zombie narratives reflect and reinforce racial tensions both in the United States and globally.
- Communication Breakdown: The importance of communication technology in zombie films, from Night of the Living Dead to Shaun of the Dead.
- Gaming the System: Why do we humans seem so inept at surviving zombie video games?
- Finding Joy in the Apocalypse: Yes, even in the face of overwhelming undead hordes, there's still room for laughter.
So, grab your favorite zombie survival guide and join us as we navigate the treacherous waters of zombie culture. Just remember, if you hear a moan, it's probably us trying to think of clever zombie puns.
