March Madmen: Zombie Movies! The Funnies Round 2 (Part 1)

2026/02/07

It’s Herbert West vs. Tallahassee! Re-agent vs. double tap! Bubble-headed coeds and Hummer-stealing gal grifters! Let’s see which horror-comedy gets the win...

March Madmen: Zombie Movies! Old School Round 2 (Part 4)

2026/01/07

It’s Dead vs. Dead as Romero’s NOTLD squares off against the underrated U.K. film from 2010, “The Dead,” directed by the Ford brothers. Can the O.G. ghouls hold off their spiritual successors?

March Madmen: Zombie Movies! Old School Round 2 (Part 3)

2025/11/20

Perhaps our closest, most momentous match-up to date — which film can be eliminated, the 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake, or Lamberto Bava’s 1985 classic Demons? Perhaps the right answer is neither, but this conversation should interest fans of either flick...

March Madmen: Zombie Movies! Old School Round 2 (Part 2)

2025/10/25

In this episode, [REC] squares off with Zombi. Will the nerve-jangling thrill-ride beat the nightmare you can’t wake up from? Luke makes an impassioned argument for the latter.

March Madmen: Zombie Movies! Old School Round 2 (Part 1)

2025/09/25

Kicking off the second round of our tournament are films from the Romero lineage, whether they admit it or not. In Part 1, George’s masterpiece Dawn of the Dead faces the underrated Australian film Cargo (2017).

March Madmen: Zombie Movies! The Crazies (Part 3)

2025/08/25

Let’s decide the last three match-ups in the Crazies bracket: The Sadness vs. The Crazies (1974), Rabid vs. The Serpent and the Rainbow, and Pontypool vs. Fido. Each film has something juicy to offer us zombiphiles… Plus some skull-effing and scrotal mutilation!

March Madmen: Zombie Movies! The Crazies (Part 2)

2025/07/25

Three more match-ups! Virus 32 vs. The Girl With All the Gifts, Pet Sematary vs. Shivers, and 28 Weeks Later vs. The Signal. In most of these films zombies aren’t necessarily diminished by their infection... in fact, they may be liberated by it.

March Madmen: Zombie Movies! The Crazies (Part 1)

2025/06/25

To begin our study of the tournament's "batshit nuts bracket," it’s 28 Days Later vs. Overlord! Things get quite heated in our It Comes at Night discussion (is this really a zombie movie?) as it faces off with The Crazies 2010. Which films will prevail?

March Madmen: Zombie Movies! Dark Horse Contenders (Part 4)

2025/05/11

Our final two matchups of the bracket are Deathdream vs. The Battery and Train to Busan vs. Savageland. Three American indies, one Korean blockbuster. How greatly is vision limited by budget? As usual, we focus on the eliminated films but highlight what they have to offer.

March Madmen: Zombie Movies! Dark Horse Contenders (Part 3)

2025/04/17

We've got more zombie movie talk! As the tournament rolls on, the Madmen must vote out either The Beyond or Wyrmwood: Apocalypse. Do we keep Cemetery Man or Deadgirl? Each movie has its merits…

March Madmen: Zombie Movies! Dark Horse Contenders (Part 2)

2025/03/18

Let’s continue our study of the stranger zombie films in the field! Tonight’s combatants are Contracted, Peninsula, City of the Living Dead and #Alive.

March Madmen: Zombie Movies! Dark Horse Contenders (Part 1)

2025/02/17

Our next batch of zombie films to judge are the irregulars and odd ducks of the oeuvre. In Part 1 the Madmen discuss Kingdom: Ashin of the North, Messiah of Evil, Contracted and Peninsula. Interesting, underrated films!

March Madmen: Zombie Movies! The Funnies Fight It Out (Part 3)

2025/01/05

Closing out the bracket, our cinematic combatants under discussion are Re-Animator, Anna and the Apocalypse, Zombieland, Little Monsters (2019), Shaun of the Dead and Dead Snow. See, (un)death IS funny!

March Madmen: Zombie Movies! The Funnies Fight It Out (Part 2)

2024/11/18

The Madmen continue our competition with four more zombie films that sneak in some laughs along with all that stomach-ripping! Tonight’s contenders include "I Am a Hero," "Dead Heat," "Dead Alive" and "Sugar Hill." Hahaha-OH GOD! My stomach!

March Madmen: Zombie Movies! The Funnies Fight It Out (Part 1)

2024/10/16

Zombie flicks' fight for supremacy shifts to the division we’ve dubbed The Funnies, where filmmakers explore the lighter side of the zompocalypse. That’s right, we’re talkin’ zom-coms and ghouls that make us giggle.
