Warm Bodies (2013) with Paul Costello

Jack and Nora are joined by film podcaster and game designer Paul Costello to kick off their new spooky miniseries Romcom-oween with Warm Bodies. In this episode, Nora memorized the DVD extras, Jack won’t let you in the bed if you smell, and Paul shares the secret ingredient for a great zombie movie. Dust off your record collection, practice your zombie walk, and let’s save humanity!

Topics include:

• What horror and romcoms have in common
• The Twilight Saga (and “teen monster romance” as a genre)
• Spring Breakers (2013)

–

Mysteries we still haven’t solved:

• Does John Malkovich remember filming this movie?
• Would R have been in love with Julie even if he hadn’t eaten her boyfriend’s brain?
