Andi and\xa0Lise\xa0chat about the movie\xa0Army of the Dead\xa0(2020), a zombie heist gore-fest directed by Zach Snyder (Dawn of the Dead, 2004). That\u2019s right, heist. A zombie outbreak has occurred in Las Vegas after a military convoy crashes and patient zero escapes into the city and the government has to build a wall all around it. A rich casino owner wants a team to sneak into the city to crack a vault in his casino and snag two hundred million dollars. However, all may not\xa0be\xa0as it seems, either with the casino owner, the heist plan, and the zombies themselves. Andi and\xa0Lise\xa0highly recommend that you not dig too deep into this; you\u2019ll only end up asking WTF more than once. Take it as pure adrenaline-fueled entertainment and don\u2019t scratch the surface. Also, this movie probably isn\u2019t appropriate for young\xa0folx\xa0(kids, \u2019tweens, some teens) because it is, as mentioned, a gore-fest.\xa0
More info and trailer can be found\xa0at\xa0IMDb; stream it on Netflix.\xa0
Shout-outs:\xa0Lise\xa0highly recommends the\xa0series \u201cThe Great Pottery Throw\xa0Down,\u201d available on HBO Max. It\u2019s a British reality show along the lines of the \u201cGreat British Bake-off\u201d in which the competition is to decide Britain\u2019s best home potter.\xa0Four seasons now streaming.\xa0Andi raves about the graphic novel\xa0Snapdragon\xa0(2020)\xa0by Kat\xa0Leyh, about a girl who doesn\u2019t fit in and ends up befriending the town \u201cwitch\u201d and in doing so, finds out more about her own capabilities. Queer rep, amazing art, great story,\xa0wonderful\xa0characters.\xa0
