We’re back with episode 2! This was originally meant to be a bit of a Valentine’s Day tie-in, but whatever! In this episode, Justin’s wife Stephanie joins us as we discuss the semi-recent trend of humanizing zombies by comparing two zombie romances. Shuffle along with us as we discuss the 2006 horror comedy Fido, and the 2013 teen romance Warm Bodies.

Plus, we discuss how shitty capitalism is, zombies as a metaphor for minorities, and really dig into the symbolism and themes of both movies.
