TGB Episode 143: Cracking the Zombie Film Equation (Guest: Sam Zimmerman)

by Tim Buel
February 7, 2013

On this week's episode of The Golden Briefcase, Tim and Jeremy are joined by Sam Zimmerman from Fangoria to go through their latest picks of the week, the newest in DVD & Blu-ray releases, new trailers for friend of the show Josh Johnson's SXSW VHS documentary Rewind This! and Justin Lin's Fast & Furious 6 and plenty more. The main topic of the night was a discussion on the zombies sub-genre in honor of Jonathan Levine's Warm Bodies, which is now playing in theaters everywhere. The guys talk over some of the strengths and weaknesses of the genre and where they would like to see it go from here on out. Listen in!

The Golden Briefcase is also broadcast LIVE on Wednesday nights starting ~7:30PM PST. You can listen in via our Ustream page or by visiting our own live page right here on FS. The podcast is just as fun to listen to live while it's being recorded, with plenty of special guests, so I suggest you tune in the next time it records.

The most HILARIOUS episode of this I've ever heard...and I've listened to at least 15 of them. The entire 'Space Fast, Space Furious' section had me rolling. Great stuff.

    No problem, the Fast and Furious 'dudes' tangent was golden too.

I bought All The Boys Love Mandy Lane on bluray about a year and a half ago from Amazon and it plays fine in my bluray player (I live in Pennsylvania, USA). Can't everyone do that? I didn't realize it was so hard to find. By the way, the movie is really good!
