White Zombie, from 1932 is widely considered the first zombie film. Since then hundreds of zombie movies, tv shows and comics have come out with dozens of different takes on these popular monsters.  

From mind controlled slaves out of Voodoo legend to the living dead of George Romero, zombies are an important part of the pop culture landscape.  

Bruce and Larry explore the popularity of zombies. They explore different takes on the genre, and try to figure out why the shambling, mindless dead have become so popular in Episode 118 of the Media Montage Podcast!

Media Montage Podcast 117: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Max World



This week Bruce and Larry take a visit the World of Mad Max. They look at all four films featuring the Road Warrior Max Rockatansky.  

They explore the themes of a world gone mad, a world clinging to the last vestiges of civilization, a world where the Halls of Justice are literally decaying.   They look at parallels to 70s Horror, the idea of enduring myths and legends, the power of stories, as well as unreliable narrators. 

When does Fury Road take place on Max's time line?  Will we get more Mad Max in the future, and what will that mean?  All that and more in Episode 117 of the Media Montage Podcast! It's a Mad Mad Mad Max World!
