Like brains? Then you’ll love listening to special guest Kyle Bishop (aka Dr. Walking Dead) because he’s very smart about zombie cinema. In Episode 030 of Considering Horror Cinema, your late-night Horror host Jason Pyles (aka “Jay of the Dead”) and Kyle Bishop review The Cured (2018) and four zombie short films: Zombies V The CWA (2019) and The Last Taxi Driver (2018) and Still (2016) and Zombied (2019). You will hear Dr. Walking Dead’s take on our current predicament with this global pandemic COVID-19. Jay and Kyle also muse about whether the zombie can help us through our world’s apocalyptic outlook. Kyle says zombie films are not a genre. And he also discusses why a short film is not a short story. A short story is a regular movie. And a novel is equivalent to a series. Jay also brings you his first installment of his What Monsters Mean series as he and Kyle discuss What Zombies Mean. Join us!

Thank you so much for this amazing episode! I would love it if Kyle became a regular guest on this show. You and he are deep thinkers into the psychological and sociological significance of horror (and other genres of) movies, and I welcome the chance to keep up with those trends on a regular basis.
‘The Cured’ sounds interesting–I’ll check it out.
Be well.
Best,
VV
Thank you for another great episode!
I remember the old ‘Black Friday’ episode on the Horror Movie Podcast (episode 35, guys), a classic Kyle Bishop episode, best HMP episode ever!
Thanks, Jay of the Dead, for bringing Dr. Walking Dead back from the dead! This is your best episode so far, superb!
