Reanimated Podcast

Episode 135: TWD S6

In a very special "in person" episode, Reanimated hosts came together in one room to record the podcast for once. On this momentous occasion your hosts chose to begin reviewing Season 6 of TWD.

Episode 134: Life After Beth

Eat your heart out Warm Bodies. This is the zomcom we all deserved, the zomcom we needed.

Episode 133: Maniac Cop

It was a grindhouse kinda day for Reanimated in episode 133. Our hosts had a good ole time being reminded just how bad B movies were back in the day, but in a good way. It's Maniac Cop!

Episode 132: REC2

Reanimated needed a group prescription for mind-numbing anti-depressants after finishing Rec2, which oddly, is a good thing. Man, it's good to be back in Spain, getting jumped by demon zeds.

Episode 131: The Girl With All The Gifts

A very faithful adaptation made for an interesting film experience for Reanimated. We had a couple of moans about the loss of the Junkers, but overall it was :thumbsup:

Episode 130: Santa Clarita Diet partial series review

We were split on the Netflix Olyphant, Barrymore project, with H.A. getting some good laughs out of it, while Stuart felt like there wasn't enough sincerity.

Episode 129: The Rezort

It's a tasty medley of The Rezort followed by two episodes of The Santa Clarita Diet for this episode of Reanimated.

Episode 128: Dead Set 2of2

It's dark and brutal but it's undeniably one of the best executed zombie TV shows out there. Reanimated polishes off Dead Set in episode 128.

Episode 127: Dead Set 1 of 2

At least one good thing came out of 2017 so far, and that was Netflix putting Dead Set up in its catalog. Get it while you can.

Episode 126: TWD S5 finale

Reanimated rounds out season 5 of TWD in this episode. Concluding that Nicholas is a shell game of a character who only exists to put more important characters in danger, Deanna pulls a 180 on violent punishments and did Carol orchestrate Pete's psychotic episode?

Episode 125: TWD S5 E13-14

Rick's group continues to take over Alexandria from within with their cunning plan.

Episode 124: TWD S5E10-12

It was an interesting trio of TWD episodes in Reanimated's ongoing review this time around with episodes 10-12 of Season 5. Rick's group gets broken down so it can arrive in style at Alexandria and we are introduced to many new characters, including

Episode 123: TWD S5E7-9

YOINK, there goes your family reunion, Maggie. Reanimated covers some tough ground with TWD Season 5 Episodes 7-9 in this show. The last couple of times that actually meaningful character deaths happen before season 7.

Episode 122: TWD S5E4-6

Hanging with Beth Greene, gosh it feels so good to spend time with her again. Reanimated trips down memory lane to three episodes of our fractured group, with Beth, Abraham and his gang and catch up with Daryl and Carol on their mission in the city.

Episode 121: TWD S5 premier

We're back to The Walking Dead prime - yea though most of us walk through the valley of the shadow of season 7, reanimated fears no evil, because we're still on season 5 of our mega comprehensive TWD review, yo!

Episode 120: Cell

After some shocking emoji news, Reanimated gets down to brass tacks with a review of Cell - the poorly received Stephen King adaptation about how your obsession with your phone will make you eat your dog.

Episode 119: Freaks of Nature

Freaks of Nature is a dumb movie, but it's a dumb movie with a great cast and solid performances that basically carries the stupid premise and hokey plot. Check out our review!

Episode 118: Train to Busan

Contortionists, some moral lessons and all around awesome were all parts of this fun zed flick.

Episode 116: FTWD S2

Someone on the writing staff at Fear hates Madison. They want her to be terrible. Mission accomplished.

Episode 115: FTWD S2

Fear the Walking Dead recreated the quarry zombie corralling scene from Season 6 of TWD in miniature scale. Reanimated was there to poke holes and question all of it.... I mean as they watched it on TV, not actually there in Mexico.

Episode 114: FTWD S2

The show checks in with poor Travis and his ill-fated progeny. It gets pretty bro-y. Then the hotel storyline picks up so that's cool.

Episode 113: FTWD S2

Reanimated picks back up with its favorite fare - zombies! The downside is that H.A. and Stuart are pretty skeptical that FTWD is the show we wanted it to be at this point. Will Season 2B be the course correction that the show needs?

Episode 112: Outcast S1 finale

We hammer out the final three episodes of the first season of Outcast and what a ride that was. Many stories of couples play out. Kyle and the Rev, Mark and Megan, Sidney and Aaron, etc. Also Flakka is a thing.

Episode 111: Outcast S1

Demons! Reanimated continues with its review of season 1 of Outcast

Episode 108: Outcast S1

Reanimated goes off book for a review of Robert Kirkman's latest comic-to-television project "Outcast." Our hosts were by turns revolted and intrigued in this exorcism and demonic tale told in the back woods of West Virginia.

Episode 107: FTWD S2 E5-6

Fear the Walking Dead really plumbs the depths of how likely the zombocalypse is to drive you insane. They seem to think that 37 percent of survivors in a a group will just go totally nuts. The rest will vary between useless, fine I guess and can't tell -- too martyr-y.

Episode 106: FTWD S2 E3-4

Lots of new characters were introduced in episodes three and four of FTWD season 2, to varying degrees of success. Shame Chris is still awful.

Episode 105: FTWD S2 E1-2

Bad navigation, unscheduled swim breaks, suicidal survivalists and radio romance dominate this episode of the podcast.

Episode 104: Double Feature - Omega Man (1971) and I Am Legend (2007)

The triumvirate of "I Am Legend" the novel, "Omega Man" the film and "I Am Legend" the Will Smith vehicle are the headliners in this week's podcast. Check it out.

Episode 103: A Little Bit Zombie

Ever wondered what zombie mosquitoes would do to a person? No? Yeah well can't really blame you, but if you're a little curious, "A Little Bit Zombie" is the movie for you.

Episode 102: Re-Kill

Re-Ans are coming for the second outbreak - tonight on Re-Kill! But seriously, we review Re-Kill. She hates it, he thinks it's dumb fun.

Episode 101: TWD S4 E15+16

Season four of The Walking Dead is over. Well, it's been over for years, but that doesn't mean Reanimated can't wish it was still going on. Rick started the season as a pacifist and ended it by tearing out a man's throat with his teeth. The good times are over, it seems.

Episode 100: TWD S4 E13-14

Reanimated nears the end of season 4 of TWD with episodes 13 and 14. We get to know Bob a little better. Maggie kills things with signage. Lizzy looks at the flowers.

Episode 99: TWD S4 E11-12

We tag along in the post-prison existence of Rick, Carl and Michonne and then with Beth and Daryl, as episodes "Claimed" and "Still" let us get in touch with some feelings. This episode is brought to you by peach schnaps - "it's not that bad, you guys."

Episode 98: TWD S4 E9+10

In this epsiode: Carl puts on his big boy pants and then almost immediately craps himself; Tyrese is stuck in charge of a post-apocalyptic daycare; and Glenn switches back and forth between death's door and hulk mode.

Episode 97: TWD S4 E8+9

It's the end of an era with episodes Dead Weight and Too Far Gone. Adios prison!

Episode 94: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

animated travels back to jolly ol' England to combat zombies and social injustice.

Episode 93: TWD S4:E1-2

Just in time for the season 6 mid season premier, it's Reanimated's review of the season 4 opening episodes!

Episode 92: Scout’s Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse

With any luck, an actual scout's guide to surviving the zombie apocalypse wouldn't rely quite so much on and boob jokes. But for Reanimated, that's what's on the menu.

Episode 91: Extinction

The Reanimators were along for a confusing, bumpy ride in their review of the ice zombie film, Extinction.

Episode 90: Ash vs. Evil Dead S1:E1-2

st two episodes of Ash vs Evil Dead were on the menu for Reanimated in its 90th podcast. Deadites galore!

Episode 89: Navy SEALs Versus Zombies

When zombies attack Baton Rouge, only the Navy SEALS can get the job done. The best worst thing we've seen.

Episode 88: Blood Sucking

Check out this review of Blood Sucking , in which we admit that Fran Kranz is pretty much the best.

Episode 87: Cooties

Reanimated knuckles down for a nasty case of Cooties in this episode of the podcast.

Journey back to a time before Reanimated had seen Fear the Walking Dead and were naively discussing its impending arrival as they reviewed the awesome love letter to zombie fans that is Dead Snow 2: Red or Dead.

Episode 81: FTWD S1E1

Reanimated reviews the pilot of Fear the Walking Dead fresh outta the oven.

Episode 79: The Strain S2E1-2

The Strain season 2 is here with more sorry wigs, a terrifying new cast member and an otherwise hearty, fun vampire romp.

Episode 78: Resident Evil: Aftermath

Reanimated returned to the fertile Resident Evil universe for the fourth installment of that franchise. A fun, ridiculous zed action film with lots of slow-mo, insane boss battles and techno-choreographed fight scenes.

Episode 77: Maggie

It's all about Maggie in this episode of the podcast! This moody coming-of-zed film was a tasty treat for our hosts.

Episode 76: Last Days on Mars

Last Days on Mars is a well-edited, well-acted film with a killer cast. We wish it was better loved.

Episode 75: Book Review - The Girl With All The Gifts

"The Girl with all the Gifts" was a trip for the Reanimated crew this week. Bring on the movie!

Episode 74: Dead Alive

For the 74th Episode of the show Reanimated crossed some treacherous, but necessary ground. Dead Alive. Witness the 1992, PeterJackson feature!

Episode 73: The Horde

Nous aimons La Horde! Watch this kickass French zombie movie and then gab about it on Reanimated this week!

Episode 72: Resident Evil: Extinction

In episode 72 Reanimated reviews Resident Evil: Extinction! Milla Jovovich is apparently a Jonah but nobody around her lives long enough to complain.

Episode 71: Frankenstein’s Army

Frankenstein's Army caught Reanimated off-guard on this episode of the podcast. After so many bitter disappointments, here was a B-horror, zombie flick that rocked!

Episode 70: 28 Weeks Later

Reanimated likes 28 Weeks Later just fine. Kinda like you like that piece of candy that fell on the floor, but it doesn't look too bad so you eat it anyway.

Episode 69: iZombie S1E2

"Brother can you spare a brain" is the title of the episode covered in this mini podcast on Reanimated. Stuart is having trouble coming to terms with all the glowy, positive press. H.A. is more willing to believe in the power of Rob Thomas. Who is right? Who is wrong? Who is neither because it's TV and totally subjective? Tune in to find out!

Episode 68: iZombie S1E1

Reanimated hacked away at the pilot episode of iZombie this time on the podcast. All at once it is both what we expected - and therefore quite delightful - and a horrible disappointment, testament to the fickle and implacable nature of your loving hosts.

Episode 67: Book Review iZombie Vol. 1

Volume 1 of iZombie the graphic novel is front and center in this episode of Reanimated, gang! H.A. and Stuart were largely ignorant of the tale of Gwen the gravedigging, hipster zombie but were quickly won over by the quirky humor and originality in storytelling.

EPISODE 66: TWD S3 E15+16

Reanimated bids a tearful goodbye to Season 3 of the Walking Dead and a less tearful goodbye to Andrea and most of Woodbury.

Episode 65: TWD S3 E13+14

Rick and the Governor have a sit-down and don't say all that much in episodes 13 and 14 of the 3rd season of TWD. Reanimated was there to break down all those stony silences and loaded glares for our listening audience!

Episode 64: TWD S3 E10-12

Hey again! Surprised to see this episode so soon after the last one? Well deal with it, ok? Sheesh! Anyway, yeah we're back with episode 64 including MORE undead news and MORE The Walking Dead Season 3 reviews for the episodes 10 - 12!

Episode 63: TWD S3 E7-9

Ugh, a severely overdue episode of Reanimated here, folks. As referenced many times in the dialog, we recorded this on SuperBowl Sunday, and it's only just going up a few weeks later. #sadpanda. This round, H.A. and Stuart talked over a couple of zombie newsbites and then reviewed episodes 7-9 of season 2 of The Walking Dead.

Episode 62: TWD S3 E4-6

Reanimated needs some therapy after the first six episodes of TWD's season 3. Other than a couple of pretty minor gripes about Andrea, this season is just blazing away.

Episode 61: ParaNorman + TWD S3 E1-3

We yet live! After eight weeks of holidays, family visits, and illness, Reanimated rises up once again! In Episode 60, H.A. and Stuart review the animated film ParaNorman and then jump right into The Walking Dead season 3 with "Seed", "Sick" and "Walk With Me."

Episode 60: The Zombie Diaries and Diary of the Dead

This week Reanimated goes after realism with two similar zombie films, The Zombie Diaries and Diary of the Dead. Sadly, neither realism, nor good film-making were anywhere to be found. Stuart and H.A. also dug through some zombie news! Hurray!

Episode 59: Gallowwalkers

Howdy Reanimated fans! In this episode Reanimated reviews the Western "zombie" movie Gallowwalkers starring Wesley Snipes. Stuart wants to apologize for this podcast and for any listeners who wound up watching Gallowwalkers as a result of this review. Well, if you listened to the review and still went on to watch the film, you're on your own, kid.

Episode 58 : The Strain S1 finale

Reanimated closed out its review of the first season of the Strain in this episode. There were good times and bad times. We laughed, we cried. I think we're all happy to get back to zombies, our first love.

Episode 57: The Strain S1 E8-9

This week Reanimated heads back to NYC for episodes 8 & 9 of The Strain. The Disappeared and Loved Ones take us through the hours after the great gas station stand-off and we see some great development from Gus and Kelly's characters! H.A. and Stuart also have some zombie happenings to gab about, so stay tuned!

Episode 56: The Strain S1E 7 and 8

Hey guys and welcome back to Reanimated! This week Kyle is back on the podcast to join hosts H.A. and Stuart in discussing "For Services Rendered" and "Creatures of the Night." Our distinguished panel is divided on these episodes, but one thing's for sure: It's not looking good for New York after these two installments of del Toro's horror show.

Episode 55: The Strain S1 E5 & 6

Reanimated's review of television's The Strain continues with episodes "Runaways" and "Occultation" this week! Our hosts discuss the unflappable nature of New Yorkers who apparently don't panic when people are attacked by blood-soaked vampires while being shot at by FBI agents in the middle of a crowded street, as well as a number of other fascinating elements from the show, which is getting better and better.

Episode 54: The Strain S1 E3-4

Episode 53: The Strain S1E1-2

This week on Reanimated's 53rd episode the usual suspects join forces with special guest Kyle Deas in a departure from pure zombie antics to discuss Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan's The Strain - both the TV show and the novel.

Episode 52: ZNation

Reanimated reviews the first two episodes of SyFy's ZNation and finds some things they like, some things they don't. If the bad press doesn't kill the show, it could turn into something interesting.

Episode 49: Shaun of the Dead

HELLO! Hello! Hi! hi! It's another episode of Reanimated wherein we discuss news of the undead! We also review a titan on the zombie film scene, Shaun of the Dead!

Episode 48: Doc of the Dead

Reanimated went all high-brow with a documentary this week, and then boasted to its friends at the raquet club over a mint julip. Well, it did the first one of those things anyway. Also some zombie news happened, so there's that.

Episode 47 - Aaah! Zombies!! a.k.a. Wasting Away

This week on the podcast Reanimated reviews Wasting Away a.k.a. Aah! Zombies!! a 2007 comedy about the zombocalypse because what's funnier than that? Turns out it's a laugh-riot - or at the very least a laugh-minor-noise-disturbance. Funny, bad movie.

Episode 46: The Battery

Reanimated crew reviewed The Battery in their 46th episode - a walk in the woods bromance set during the zombocalypse. Filmed in 15 days with a budget of $6,000, this flick really surprised the gang. There's also the zombie news of the day, what a smorgasbord!

Episode 45: Resident Evil 2 (Apocalypse)

Greetings fair audience members! In their 45th episode Reanimated takes a long, hard look at Resident Evil: Apocalypse, and then wishes they could have taken a much quicker, less hard glance. It's kind of a garbage salad of a movie with a couple of decent scenes, Milla does her thing as admirably as ever but there's only so much one person can do.

Episode 44: In the Flesh S2 E6

Reanimated bid farewell to In the Flesh's second season after episode six, wherein Kieren got his family back - though we never really understood why he'd lost them; Maxine Martin got her comeuppance - though her motives were never really that clear and once they were revealed, seemed unlikely; and Philip and Amy had a nice, weird one day/date/entire relationship with a twist ending! Also, Simon seems like a good dude. Pity he came across so completely skeezy for the first few episodes.

Episode 43: In the Flesh S2 E5

Welcome! The 43rd episode of Reanimated includes a review of episode five of the second season of In the Flesh, zombie news and much, much more!

Episode 42: In the Flesh S2 E4

In the 42nd episode of Reanimated Philip finds his moral compass, Kieren flips out at the dinner table, Maxine Martin goes full evil and Jem continues to disappoint. Also zombie news!

Episode 42: In the Flesh S2 E3

Yeesh zombie fans, In the Flesh took it to an uncomfortable place with not just one, but TWO love triangles in this episode's review. And in a way we might count Jem, Gary and Henry's bracelet as a third. //shiver// Anyway - another thrilling installment of Reanimated's ongoing review of season two of the English zombie drama! Also some zombie news!

Episode 40: In the Flesh S2 E2

Hey Reanimators! Stuart and H.A. are back in episode 40 with a lil review of the second episode of season 2 of In the Flesh! The situation in Roarton continues to get realer as poor Jem starts falling apart, Kieren gets put on lock down and stupid pranks continue to be stupid!

Episode 39: In the Flesh S2 E1

The U.K.'s teen angst zombie show In The Flesh is back and Reanimated is still unapologetically into it. We're so into you In The Flesh!

Episode 38: Cabin in the Woods

This ain't your average horror film! Reanimated goes along for the ride with Cabin in the Woods - a movie that changes the playing field of horror. They also talk about the zombie news du jour and tent backpacks!

Episode 37: Zombieland (2009)

Happy episode 37 everyone! H.A. and Stuart returned to Zombieland and felt ... a little let down, honestly. It was a surprise to everyone! Could the TV pilot have soured us to this admittedly well-made and enjoyable film?

Episode 36: The Walking Dead S2 E11-13

Reanimated seals shut the mausoleum on season 2 of The Walking Dead with a herculean episode where our hosts plow through 11, 12 and 13! Whew! They also dig through some tasty zombie news!!

Episode 35: The Walking Dead S2 E9+10

Hey zed fans, welcome to this long overdue episode 35 of Reanimated. We've got a bit of a backlog of episodes stocked up so they might be coming out pretty hot and heavy for a spell. In 35, Reanimated hacks away at episodes 9 and 10 of season 2 of the Walking Dead - watch an adorable short film about a Corgi as well as other zombie news!

Episode 34: The Walking Dead S2 E7+8

With their review of episodes seven and eight, Reanimated takes a look at the season 2 mid-season finale and its successor. Episode seven features the Jon Bernthal workout, composed of sprinting everywhere and yelling at people. Also in this episode: Chandler Riggs' Youtube channel and other fascinating zombie news!
