Double Murder Podcast: ‘Dawn of the Dead’ (Original vs. Remake)
Missing the mall? The Double Murder Podcast fights that feeling in the latest episode which pits George A. Romero‘s zombie masterpiece, Dawn of the Dead, against James Gunn & Zack Snyder‘s remake from 2004.
Danny! and Tim are joined by Ryan Young of the band Off With Their Heads and the Anxious & Angry podcast/store. This collection of mallrats first tackle Romero’s original Dawn of the Dead (1978). They discuss the cultural commentary, Tom Savini‘s military record, and how the quarantine has impacted their view of the film.
The team then tackle the remake and ask, is this an action or horror movie? Are there islands in Lake Michigan? Is Ving Rhames secretly a pain in the ass? Does Disturbed count as a Chicago band?
For answers to these questions, and to find out which of these classics is better, tune in to Double Murder!
