Andi and\xa0Lise\xa0decided to do a couple of\xa0spoooooky\xa0Halloween shows, and this is the first. Here, they dig into the classic\xa01968 zombie\xa0apocalypse film\xa0Night of the Living Dead, co-written by George Romero, who also produced and directed it. This is the origin of our pop culture understanding of zombies, but there are some other currents at play here, and\xa0Lise\xa0and Andi will chat about those, too.\xa0

Shout-out:\xa0Lise\xa0shouted out the pulse-pounding, tense movie\xa0Pitch Black\xa0(2000), a horror/space movie with Vin Diesel. He and others end up on a planet on which monsters come out at night, but what happens when that night is a month long? Andi piled on to\xa0Lise\u2019s\xa0shout-out about this movie; she loves it.\xa0
