Zombies in Pop Culture and "Impluse."
The general public has been made aware of zombies with the
explosion of these undead beings in pop culture due to television
shows such as The Walking Dead and iZombie, as well as films such
as Night of the Living Dead and World War Z. However, what the
general public knows about zombies is very far from what zombies
originally were in Haitian Voodoo, and their original
representation in films like White Zombie with Bela
Lugosi.
In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Brandon-Shea Mutala, Brandi
Jackola, and Patrick Devlin are joined by author Keith R.A.
DeCandido to discuss zombies and the episode "Impulse." We also
discuss George Romero, the film White Zombie, Haitian Voodoo, and
our favorite metaphors in zombie films.
