What do silent films, Roger Corman exploitation flicks, and fast-running zombies have in common? They're all fair game on this episode of Couch Critics.
Josh and Dave are back with a sprawling, caffeine-fueled conversation that covers everything: the hidden gems of cinema history, cult classics you've never heard of, the tragic beauty of silent films, and a deep dive into the evolution of zombie movies from 1932 to today.
They break down why 28 Weeks Later didn't live up to the original, debate whether zombies are scarier when they run, share their must-watch recommendations (including Train to Busan and George Romero classics), and explore the weird, wild world of low-budget horror.
Plus: behind-the-scenes trivia, personal stories, actor mix-ups, TV show reboots, and why Babylon is a modern masterpiece.
