Zombie Movie Evolution - Too Fast to Mean Anything: Running Zombies, Prestige TV, and the Death of the Zombie as Metaphor

Host Barnaby Ellison Thatch examines how zombies evolved from George Romero's slow-moving social metaphors into fast, commercially domesticated spectacles. From Danny Boyle's Twenty-Eight Days Later through The Walking Dead, we trace the genre's transformation from radical political commentary into franchise fodder—and what that reveals about how popular culture neutralizes subversion.

Zombie Movie Evolution - The Master's Zombie: Colonialism and Haiti

Host Barnaby Ellison Thatch examines how Hollywood appropriated Haiti's zonbi—a figure born from enslavement trauma—and transformed it into exotic entertainment. Tracing early films from White Zombie (1932) through I Walked with a Zombie (1943), this episode explores how colonial anxiety, racial fear, and cultural theft shaped cinema's most versatile monster before George Romero reimagined it entirely.
