Episode 435: World War Z (2013)

Dahlia Schweitzer and Patrick Bromley join Mike to kick off Shocktober 2019 with a look at World War Z. It's not necessarily based on Max Brooks’s book of the same name though he gets a credit at the beginning. It’s a zombie apocalypse film starring Brad Pitt that takes Pitt around the world looking for the cause of and cure for a zombie plague.

Special guest Dr. Sarah Juliet Lauro, author of The Transatlantic Zombie: Slavery, Rebellion, and Living Death, discusses zombies in a global context.
