  • An undead good time

    This is such a good idea for a Romero based podcast, I’m actually kind of jealous I didn’t think of it myself. It’s a lot of fun hearing everyone’s NOTLD origins, especially since it’s my favorite movie of all time. This also means I myself have enjoyed it suffered through a lot of these offshoots myself, and I give Bede and his guests credit for crafting such entertaining discussions around even the worst of them.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bede Vs. The Living Dead Episode 68 - Day Of The Dead (2021)... The TV Series Adaptation Of The 1985 Classic
Q: Paul, tell us your initial thoughts on the TV series adaptation of Day Of The Dead.
I was initially drawn in because it's a rare official adaptation of Romero material, and the fact that SyFy was involved made it a no-brainer to watch. I found it surprisingly fun and watchable, with a campy, lighthearted tone that still honors the source and delivers some solid zombie moments.
Bede Vs. The Living Dead Bonus Episode - Interview With Michael Varrati [There's A Zombie Outside (2024)]
Q: Where can fans follow you and watch There's A Zombie Outside?
Michael directs fans to his online presence (Bluesky and Instagram under his name), his podcast Midnight Mass with Peaches Christ, and streaming platforms where the film is available (Tubi, Prime Video, Deku), plus Blu-ray/DVD for physical media collectors.
Bede Vs. The Living Dead Bonus Episode - Interview With Michael Varrati [There's A Zombie Outside (2024)]
Q: How did the budget and collaborative team shape the film's production?
The project grew from a trusted, close-knit team with frequent collaboration; limited budgets demanded a tight shooting script and multi-tasking crew, which in turn fostered a highly integrated, personal project with a distinctive visual and tonal approach.
Bede Vs. The Living Dead Bonus Episode - Interview With Michael Varrati [There's A Zombie Outside (2024)]
Q: Where did the initial idea for There's A Zombie Outside come from?
The creators drew from a long-standing concept about a character noticing a zombie outside, then expanded it into a larger story about representation, artistic struggle, and the meta-commentary on the relationship with horror cinema, blending personal experiences with genre analysis.
Bede Vs. The Living Dead Bonus Episode - Interview with Ryan Ebert [Writer/Director of Resident Dead]: A Super Podcast/Bede Vs. The Living Dead Co-Production
Q: How did you manage directing and writing this project on such a tight schedule, and what's your approach to working with a VFX team under pressure?
Preparation is everything; being able to anticipate issues, keeping a fluid plan, and maintaining open communication with the cast and the VFX team allowed us to meet the deadline and deliver a coherent film despite the challenges.
