[TV] Does “The Walking Dead” Have A Population Problem?
AMC’s “The Walking Dead” pulls in a huge amount of viewers each week, easily more people than are ostensibly still alive and roaming the planet on the program. But are there too many walkers? Would they have been wiped out by now?
4Chan has some interesting thoughts on the matter. Here they do the numbers on the amount of humans vs. walkers on the show, and their math points to an interesting conclusion – all of the walkers would be dead by now.
Now, I haven’t been watching the show recently. In fact, it’s been so long since I’ve seen it that I’m not sure if the dead are rising from their graves or not. If they are, then this math goes out the window. But I don’t remember seeing that happen.
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
