None of the zombie movies we saw prepared us for toilet paper shortages. That hasn't stopped a horde of zombie references in the middle of a pandemic, though. Marcus and Melissa explore three new and innovative takes on the zombie genre - a 15th century soap opera and zombie blend from South Korea, a dude bro zomcom from India and a heart-wrenching zombie drama from Australia. They also pay respects to the late great Kenny Rogers with a poker-themed Would You Rather.
