  • Fallout Season 1: Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun | Zombie Book Club Podcast Ep 49
    Jun 23 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Join us as we dive into the Amazon Prime series "Fallout". We delve into the ethical dilemmas, societal changes, and rich lore of the "Fallout" universe and navigate the experimental vaults, retro-futuristic corporations, and the striking parallels between "Fallout's" world and our own.

    In this episode, we journey through the Brotherhood of Steel's technocentric quests, explore gray morality, and ponder the future of beauty standards if ghoulification became common. We also examine intricate societies within the series, including the Brotherhood's fascination with mundane technology and the potential for cyborg-based groups in future seasons.

    Laugh along as we recount entertaining scenes, such as a Brotherhood member's naive misunderstanding about male arousal, and delve into deeper themes of military indoctrination, corporate morality, and privilege. We critique potential plot inconsistencies and retcons, reflecting on our own experiences and societal narratives.

  • MINISODE LIFE UPDATE - A car exploded and so did our plans | Zombie Book Club Podcast
    Jun 9 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    This episode is a minisode. The TLDR of it is that a family emergency sent Dan on a 1600 mile impromptu roadtrip last week, and there was no time to record a new episode.

    We're sorry for this unplanned super short episode, but we wanted everyone to know we will be back at it again next week. Thank you all for hanging in there while we catch up.

    Embarking on the path to American citizenship is like navigating a thorny maze, complete with pitfalls and the occasional glimmer of hope. Leah's trek through this labyrinth has been a tale of persistence, dotted with absurdities only Dan's wit could dress up in comedic garb. We peel back the layers of paperwork and process, revealing personal stories from Leah's Canadian upbringing to the poignant struggles of maintaining one's identity amidst a bureaucratic whirlwind. All the while, we serve up a side of banter to keep our spirits aloft in the face of work-life imbalances and the peculiar absence of a vacation mindset in the "land of the free."

Will AI enforcers roam the streets, and will climate change ravage our cherished coffee beans? We consider the political undercurrents of today's America, weighing in on the significance of activism and the power of community in shaping a brighter future. From tales of protest to the nuances of tribal sovereignty, we uncover the multifaceted reality of American life, inviting listeners to join our candid conversation. Join us for an episode that will make you laugh, ponder, and perhaps even find solace in the shared journey of navigating life's unpredictable waypoints.

  • What Makes 'The Ones Who Live' So Compelling? | Zombie Book Club Podcast ep 43
    May 5 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Welcome to another gripping episode of the Zombie Book Club! This week, hosts Dan and Leah dive deep into the complex world of "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live," a thrilling post-apocalyptic drama that continues the saga of beloved characters while introducing us to new, challenging environments. As totalitarian regimes merge with the undead threat, the series not only provides edge-of-your-seat horror but also profound existential questions that tug at the very fabric of human morality. Whether it's debating the effectiveness of revolutions from within or pondering the deep-seated societal divides labeled as 'As versus Bs,' our hosts unravel the narrative's layers, discussing the dire consequences of techno-centrism, totalitarian dictatorships, and the power of love in a society overrun by the undead. This episode, they ponder over why herds of zombies migrate south and what it truly means to save one's family versus saving the world.

    On the flip side, today’s discussion isn't all praises. Dan and Leah express their frustrations over the pacing of the series, where rich stories seem rushed, leaving a treasure trove of untold character depth. They tackle the portrayal of various social issues within the series through the lens of multiple media representation tests, such as the Bechdel and DuVernay tests, discussing how well the series fares in portraying diverse and complex characters. Despite some shortcomings in emotional connectivity, particularly in the series finale, our hosts appreciate the standout episode written by Danai Gurira, which featured a poignant love story that beautifully captured Rick's internal struggles. Tune in for an intense blend of criticism and admiration as they dissect the cinematic excellence and the sometimes frustrating narrative choices of "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live."
