MARCH MADMEN
From the co-creator of the Xs & Ys Podcast comes an in-depth but light-hearted look at horror movies! MARCH MADMEN is a podcast that aims to answer the question, "what is the greatest horror movie ever made?" Set up like a ghastly imitation of the NCAA basketball tournament, we pair films in a series of death matches to see which one reigns supreme in each subgenre of horror. Season One of our macabre competition focused on the HAUNTED HOUSE movie. Season Two attacked the SLASHER genre. Now, 32 ZOMBIE MOVIES must go head to head, two by two, until we've voted on every pairing. Expect heated debates, drinking games, semi-serious film criticism, and lots of laughs. Of course, as our long-time listeners have come to expect, in the later rounds each film will receive a loving but THOROUGH autopsy...
Featuring script analyst John Evans, screenwriter Vikram Weet ("Devil's Pass"), and author Luke Merrick.
