    My ex-brother in law was a doomsday prepper and I got into it with him for a few years before it got a little to extreme. We had rally points designated throughout our city where we'd meet depending on the circumstances, fallback locations, resource caches scattered literally throughout half the state. I'm a chemistry nerd, so my favorite part was having access to decommissioned military text books outlining highly illegal manufacturing procedures for things I won't name here. That's around the time I realized I was going to far out with this whole thing. It was weird, but fun.

I'm as excited for Tuesday as Fridays for Kill Counts.

    If you do the 1950's EC comics and whatnot, and hit on Frederic Wertham, don't leave out that although he was an alarmist, moralist, sexist, and homophobe, the one *good* thing he did through all of that hysteria, is point out the blatant racism in many comics of the time (consistently depicting Africans as ignorant, savage cannibals and so on).

    It’s so weird reflecting on my childhood and seeing so much zombie anything! Especially since I grew up around that 2000s zombie boom area and now that I look back nearly every game and thing I consumed as entertainment had zombies. Even simple peaceful things like Minecraft had a survival mode with zombies! I remember watching zombies, dressing as zombies, and making “who would you be in a zombie apocalypse?” Jokes with friends. I think the funniest thing is realizing that when I grew up I wouldn’t play tag I would play “infected” in a park with my cousins at night. Seeing all the politics and thought behind zombies really opened my eyes too! Man I love the stuff y’all do and this was a fun listen!

    By the by, Lucio Fulci's Zombie aka Zombie 2, is rooted more in the history of colonialism than any post-Romero zombie film. It would be incorrect to assume that Fulci had a strong interest in relaying this theme beyond the superficial, but it stands out. In fact, you guys should do a deep dive into Fulci and Italian exploitation cinema. He has a huge CV, but Zombie and The Beyond are two of the best, goriest, and most atmospheric zombie films ever made behind Romero's films.

    Great podcast as always!! Just wanna throw a review suggestion your way that has to do w the content, Return of the Living Dead, the original! One of my fav movies of all time, and would be a super interesting and challenging kill count! Either way, y’all are kick ass, keep up the GREAT work!!!
