Indie zombie movie Countyline is due to begin filming soon in Kokomo Indiana and while they’ve already finished casting you can still help out and support the film. (The Republic)

Director Jeff Stewart has also finished filming his indie zombie flick The Reunion in the already undead city of New Jersey. Just kidding everyone, Jersey isn’t that bad. (nj.com)

Zombie Day is about as low budget as you can get because it was made by middle school kids. It’s got two trailers and ninjas, though, so we’re gonna allow it and show you those trailers after the break. (Buy Zombie)

Episode 005 – 10 directors that NEED to direct a zombie movie…

Hosts – Cory Casciato and Johnathon Brock

Run Time: 1 Hour 04 Minutes 03 Seconds

Show Notes

This week Cory and I discussed the top 10 directors who need to direct a zombie movie, but never have. Also, we wrapped up the 2010 year with a look back at what Cory was looking forward to, and what we are looking forward to in 2011. No real show notes because it’s a list show, and I don’t want to spoil the surprise of who we picked.

However, here is a link to Cory’s original post about his most wanted directors for a zombie project.

And here is a link to Cory’s 2010 most wanted and most anticipated zombie projects in general.

(Read both of them after you listen to the show…. or before… whatever)

One final note… This podcast isn’t too graphic, but it is labeled Not Safe For Work. We drop the f-bomb on more than one occasion and talk about some of the more graphic images of The Walking Dead in show and comic form, as well as some of the other things we discuss. Just a heads up for those of you listening at your work cubes—wear headphones.

Alright, that’s it, go listen to it and let us know what you think in the comments. Tell us what you’d like to see from us on future shows, make fun of my impressions, or ask some questions for next week’s show.

Episode 001 – In the beginning, there were zombies…

- Cory Casciato and Johnathon Brock

Run Time: 49:02

This week we discuss The Walking Dead episode 2: Guts, and the upcoming World of the Living Dead online browser based MMO. We also single out some regular commenters on the site and talk about some upcoming movies, including the mysterious but recently popular Swedish zombie flick ZON261. There’s some talk about how we feel about Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and their choice for a director, followed by why we hate Meghan Fox and why she should stay away from zombie movies. We wrap it up with some talk about zombie romance, and why it won’t and shouldn’t reach the levels that Twilight has with vampires. Enjoy!

Spoilers for The Walking Dead as a series in comic book and future episode form occur from minutes 20 to 26 and we mark them in the podcast, so make sure to avoid that area if you don’t want to know what’s in store.

One final note… This podcast isn’t too graphic, but it is labeled Not Safe For Work.

Each week Cory Casciato and I will go into the world of the walkers to tell you the latest important zombie news. We’ll wrap up the previous episode of The Walking Dead, discuss upcoming movies and games, comics, and probably break off on a tangent or two about other interesting news as well. So without further ado… Episode Zero has arrived.

Now if you’re not looking to get spoiled on The Walking Dead, or you haven’t read the comics, you’re going to want to skip minutes 20 through 27 of the podcast. Everything before and after that is safe, although we do spoil the pilot episode itself if you haven’t seen it (if you haven’t seen it, just head over to AMC.com and watch it online before you listen to this).

If you’re wondering why we’re calling this episode zero, it’s because it’s a trial run. We’re still getting the recording specifics together, I’m designing the logo for Itunes and creating the feed, we’re finding our groove, etc. Next week the post should have a little more organized layout with show notes, a graphic header and a link to the feed as well. Itunes should follow a few weeks after that because it takes about a month for a podcast to get approved in their store and be search-able.

One final note… This podcast isn’t too graphic, but it is labeled Not Safe For Work. We drop the f-bomb on more than one occasion and talk about some of the more graphic images of The Walking Dead in show and comic form, as well as some of the other things we discuss. Just a heads up for those of you listening at your work cubes—wear headphones.

Alright, that’s it, go listen to it and let us know what you think in the comments. Tell us what you’d like to see from us on future shows, make fun of my impressions, or ask some questions for next week’s show.
