Return of the Living Dead, Movie Review and Commentary

In this episode, we review about the 1985 movie “Return of the Living Dead”. Described as a “mordant punk comedy”, it is known for introducing the popular concept of zombies eating brains, as opposed to eating human flesh, like previous zombie iterations. It is also known as the first film to ever show zombies running, as well as zombies being able to speak. The film is also quite unique from virtually all other cinematic depictions of the living dead, in that the zombies portrayed in the film cannot be killed by a standard “head shot”. The film is also notable for its soundtrack, which features several legendary Los Angeles based deathrock and punk rock bands of the era.
