A couple of weeks ago the ZRC had the opportunity to take in a showing of ‘Evil Dead: The Musical’ at the Capitol Theatre here in Madison, and then due to travel and film festivals and what not, your humble blogger forgot to write about it. Oops. Obviously we at The Zombie Rights Campaign have [...]

Today the ZRC would like to talk about ‘Doomsday Book’, a 2012 film from South Korea about the Zombie Apocalypse. (Warning: The Wikipedia link is, as is common with wikipedia pages about movies, rife with spoilers.) More behind the cut.

What’s this, you ask? Another Zombie beer? Indeed! First up, a note: the official name of this beer seems to be simply ’3 Floyds Collaboration’. Weird, I know. The ZRC thinks it should have been called ‘Zombies on Bikes’. What sort of beer is it? Well, it’s a Grätzer, a Polish smoked ale. Quite a [...]

Bear with us on this one for a moment. Why is the ZRC reviewing a salsa, you might ask? Well, we’re always on the lookout for new Zombie, or Zombie-related, products, and like it or not, Zombie culture is being used to market a bewildering variety of things today in our capitalist society. Apparently including [...]

Another day, another fine Zombie product to review here on the ZRC blog. Only this one is…. another beer. Hooray! Specifically, I am talking about the ‘Blackheart’ beer from 3 Floyds Brewing Company. Now, we know 3 Floyds makes a ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ themed beer, ‘Zombie Dust’, and will get to reviewing that eventually – it’s [...]

The ZRC recently reviewed ‘Mutant’, a very 80s, very bad, very Anti-Zombie film starring Wings Hauser which was re-released with a humorous commentary track by the guys at Rifftrax. You might think, having made one awful, slightly unusual Zombie film in the late 80s, Mr. Hauser would have been content. But apparently there was appetite [...]

Zombies and beer. Zombeer. Could there be a better combination? Perhaps not, so the ZRC has taken it upon itself to start finding and reviewing those Undead Lagers, those Reanimated Ales, that seem to be unearthing themselves across our planet. First up for review in what will probably (hopefully?) be a long series of Zombie-related [...]

Funimation recently began streaming ‘Tokyo Ghoul’, a new anime series about the Differently Animated, and after four episodes the ZRC can give it a provisional evaluation. Some minor spoilers below the cut, along with our thoughts.

We’re big backers of the Undead Right to Vote here at The ZRC. However, it is good to remember that Zombies aren’t a monolithic bloc when it comes to politics, so we were pleased to see this recent comic on the possibility of Zombie voting challenges in the future. Not sure about that ‘conquest’ language [...]

Recently, as discussed on the ZRC’s twitter, I binge reviewed all of ‘The Walking Dead’ up on Netflix, in anticipation of the upcoming release of the fourth season in August. There are a lot of things one can say about the world of ‘The Walking Dead’. (Mild spoilers below) –Skulls are very, very soft. Be [...]
