Apocalist Book Club

Welcome to the Apocalist Book Club. I’m Nella, and I know it’s been a while.  Before we get back to it with season 2, I have some other work to wrap up on our sister podcast. See, in 2007 a supernatural horror book by Dan Simmons was published and by 2016 the story was adapted by AMC for a 10 episode season called THE TERROR.  Now, I’ll grant you, it’s not an apocalypse. But it is a fictionalized version of what might have happened to the Franklin Expedition. And listeners, you know how this podcast feels about Doomed Polar Exploration. I have joined my wife Joy and our friend Danielle on Binge O’Clock [https://twitter.com/BingeOClockPod] as guest historical enthusiast and resident Franklin Expedition obsessive. You can follow along over at Binge O’Clock [https://twitter.com/BingeOClockPod] on Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/1ezvS9daq4RELDRZ0snaRl] starting May 22, and new episodes will be released every 2 weeks.   Enjoy this early access to the introduction episode--fter all, it was on May 19th, 178 years ago, THAT 129 officers and crewmen under the leadership of Sir John Franklin left England. Their mission was to bridge the gap on British maps, and complete the Northwest passage. Spoilers: they all died.  So I hope you’ll pick up a copy of the book, give the series a watch, play that Stan Rogers song on repeat, and join us as we unpack the rats nest of book vs show vs historical record.

If you got up to use the restroom, don't worry you didn't miss anything! Nella continues her Zombie Triple Feature Picture Show with Danielle Ngo and Joy Seldin from the podcast Binge O'Clock! [https://bingeoclockpod.libsyn.com/] We unpack DAY OF THE DEAD, then touched on RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, the schlocky other "sequel" to NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD that stole DAY's thunder. Rude.  And that wraps up our Zombie Movie Night!...or...DOES IT???

Hope you visited Concessions at intermission, because here's part 2! Nella continues her Zombie Triple Feature Picture Show with Danielle Ngo and Joy Seldin from the podcast Binge O'Clock [https://bingeoclockpod.libsyn.com/] with DAWN OF THE DEAD! Send help, one actor looks so much like Jeeves and Wooster era Hugh Laurie I'm dying.  And remember kids, if you go through all the trouble of cleverly disguising the entrance to your tricked out living quarters, DON'T.

While Raven and Nella are still prepping for Season 2: The Atomic Age for the Apocalist, Danielle Ngo and Joy Seldin from the podcast Binge O'Clock [https://bingeoclockpod.libsyn.com/] joined Nella to watch zombie movies...and not just any zombie movies, the ones that started it all!  This first episode explores the history of the zombie movie, and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Part 2 will continue with DAWN OF THE DEAD, and we'll end Part 3 with DAY OF THE DEAD (and a touch of RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD for that 80s spicy brain flavor).
