Reanimated Podcast
The latest news, reviews and education of zombie culture this side of the Zombocalypse.
Episodes
Silo S3 E3-4
Reanimated stops taking our vitamins in this episode. Let's hope something good comes of it.
Silo S3 E1-2
Reanimated orders the special chowder from the canteen as we delve back down into the Silo for season 3.
Resident Evil (2026)
Reanimated talks through our trauma and laughing fits experienced while watching Zach Cregger's Resident Evil. (Spoilers abound)
TWD: Dead City S3E6-8
We missed Emily Kinney's smiling face from this franchise, but otherwise, we weren't too swayed by this season. Hopefully the new showrunner can build a more convincing world if they get a next and final season.
TWD: Dead City S3E3-5
Reanimated eats three episodes of Dead City at a time but ultimately regrets that decision.
The Walking Dead: Dead City S3E1-2
Reanimated is bewildered that this show can still get good actors like Jimmi Simpson.
The Dread (2024 Palsson)
Reanimated was chilled to the bone when we rowed out to watch The Damned on the podcast.
The Vampire Lestat E7
Reanimated exhumes the season finale of The Vampire Lestat and talks about The Vampire Lestat: The Failures, the studio album released alongside the show this year. Say what you want about the quality of the music, the amount of effort put into creating this was astounding.
The Vampire Lestat E5-6
*slow clap*
One more episode in the season - where can they go from here?
The Vampire Lestat E3-4
Lestat continues to be one of the more complex and interesting characters we've seen on screen in a while.
The Vampire Lestat E1-2
Reanimated got back on the tour bus with the band for the first two episodes of The Vampire Lestat and were not disappointed. There's a lot to chew on in these episodes and the promise of plenty more!
Night of the Living Dead (1990)
Somehow, the Tom Savini-directed remake of the grandpappy zombie movie of all time had slipped through the cracks of our recap process. Reanimated was more than happy to correct that oversight and spend time with Barbara, Ben and the gang at the farmhouse.
Didn't Die (2025)
Reanimated keenly felt the meta while talking about podcasters in the zombie apocalypse after we watched "Didn't Die."
Widow's Bay E9-10
The inaugural season of the instant classic Widow's Bay comes to an end with some serious themes but the show still manages to make us laugh. Season 2 can't come soon enough!
Widow's Bay E7-8
Reanimated ventures out on the waters of Widow's Bay and then has a visitor from the 1990s pop back in for some cutlery demonstrations.
Widow's Bay E5-6
What a long strange trip Tom has and then we all take a trip back to 1702 with some stellar cast members!
Widow's Bay E3-4
Reanimated opens the beaches with a good book but then loses sleep over these two episodes of Widow's Bay
Widow's Bay E1-2
We brave the fog and take the ferry to Widow's Bay to hang out with Tom Loftis and a heaping scoop of northeastern nostalgia ... and terror.
Encore - Fido (2006)
We exhumed one of our ancient undead episodes (Episode 7!) about the film Fido for your listening pleasure this week. Would you want a domesticated zombie doing your housework? Let us know at reanimatedpodcast(at)gmail(dot)com.
Mayfair Witches S2E7-8
We reach the end of a decent second season of Mayfair Witches with some good set up for a third season but also some nagging questions. There was also an honest-to-goodness reanimation in the finale, so we managed to stick the landing!
Mayfair Witches S2E5-6
These two episodes feature a lot of overconfidence from our heroine and introduce a whole bevy of new witches.
Mayfair Witches S2E3-4
We had a witch party, some real amoral geneticist behavior, a talamasca in turmoil and much more in these two episodes that do a lot to set up the action coming up this season, we hope.
Mayfair Witches S2E1-2
We head back to New Orleans to hang out with Rowan, Lasher and the other magical misfits of Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches.
Silent Zone (2025)
While there were neither readily apparent silence nor zones in this film, it was a fun good time.
Dracula (2025)
Gothic horror meets "Sleepless in Seattle"
The Dead (2010)
Turns out all this African zombie outbreak needed was a guy named Brian Murphy. He'll fix your car, be your friend, shoot you in the head, save a baby, give that baby away a few minutes later, sleep in a tree and probably raise your child as his own.
This is Not a Test (2025)
There's some good work in this movie - a good cast and enough to sink your teeth into, but don't expect to be writing letters home about it.
Episode: 489 - Cold Storage (2026)
Joe Keery, Georgina Campbell, Liam Neeson and the rest of a stellar cast, balanced with a dynamite script and great effects - all combined? You got yourself a pretty good ole zombie movie right there.
Episode 488: Forgive Us All
This film from New Zealand made excellent use of its beautiful locations, solid core cast and freaky howlers.
Episode 487: We Bury the Dead
Reanimated heads to Tasmania to help the Body Recovery Unit process a lot of grief in We Bury the Dead this week.
Episode 486: Zomvivor E6+7
Did we Zomvive? Not sure. However, the word on the street is that the show has a second season greenlit, so perhaps we will try to zomvive once more. แล้วเจอกัน
Episode 485: Zomvivor E4+5
The shine is starting to wear off for the gang they reach the second half of Zomvivors.
Episode 484 - Zomvivor E3
We're just out here, trying to zomvive.
Episode 483 - Zomvivor E2
We got to know a few more of the ensemble this week, and just as quickly said goodbye to some characters on this Thai zombie show.
Episode 482 - Zomvivor E1
Reanimated takes a bite out of this Thai show that pits college students against a zombie outbreak in Bangkok.
Episode 481 - 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
We talk all about The Bone Temple installment of 28 Years Later this week - spoilers abound!
Episode 480: TWD - Dead City S2E7-8
We finish off season two of Maggie and Negan and learn a lot in the process!
Episode 479 - The Walking Dead: Dead City S2E5-6
We have a bit of a rant about some of the dumb things that happen in these episodes and then take a step back and marvel at the bones of the meta plot that the writers are clearly developing, but have not executed on yet.
Episode 478: The Walking Dead - Dead City S2E3-4
The journey continues through Manhattan for Negan and Maggie.
Episode 477: The Walking Dead - Dead City S2E1-2
Not a great start to Dead City's second season. Hoping the series finds its feet soon.
Episode 476: Marvel Zombies E3+4
We brought in some help in this episode in the shape of our special HBO correspondent Kyle to break down the announced merger between Netflix and Warner Brothers and then we broke down, emotionally, because Marvel Zombies is some hard work, you guys.
Episode 475: Marvel Zombies E1-2
Despite sometimes feeling like a quiz on our collective Marvel knowledge, Reanimated was so happy to finally dig into this show with the first two parts.
Episode 474: Queens of the Dead (2025)
The zombie apocalypse meet death drops -- nobody’s safe from getting upstaged in Queens of the Dead.
Episode 473: The Elixir (2025)
Indonesian nepobabies face off against undead boomers chasing everlasting life. 10/10.
Episode 472: Frankenstein (2025)
Join us for a spoiler-filled run down of the latest Guillermo Del Toro film. We share some hot takes in the 5 million scoville range.
Episode 471: Daryl Dixon S3E6&7
Reanimated closes out the balance of Season 3 and we're basically happy with it, but there were some questions and concerns.
Episode 470: Daryl Dixon S3E5 - Limbo
Daryl finds himself in limbo between Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the Seven Samurai and the Indiana Jones franchise in this episode of the show that borrows heavily from great IPs but ultimately feels like it's missing its mojo still.
Episode 469: Daryl Dixon S3E4 - La Justicia Fronteriza
The show definitely lost a step on this episode. The show runners show their hand in how little they apparently thought about the faction 'Los Primativos' and offer up a completely meaningless sacrificial lamb that feels like a cheap attempt to manipulate the audience.
Episode 468: Daryl Dixon S3E3 - El Sacrificio
I don't care what anyone says, this cognac is perfectly drinkable.
Episode 467: Daryl Dixon S3E2 - La Ofrenda
Is there any more of that el puerco?
Episode 466: Daryl Dixon S3E1 - Costa da Morte
Off to a middling start! Although England gets done dirty in the first episode of the new season of Daryl Dixon, there is some light in this episode thanks to the direction of Daniel Percival who takes time to linger on some good scenes.
Episode 465: MadS (2024)
we recap MadS in this episode - all it took was one continuous take, a few lines of red powder and some strong performances to make a pretty cool movie
Episode 464: Ziam
We head over to the dystopian climate apocalypse unfolding in Bangkok where a Muay Thai fighter elbows and kicks his way through hordes of zombies in an action-packed good time.
Episode 463: Operation Undead
Reanimated put on our Junior Solider pants and watched Operation Undead for this episode of the podcast. This Thai period piece brought a novel approach to the genre, powerful performances and great make-up.
Episode 462: Revival E10
That's a wrap on the first season of Revival. We stuck it out, despite becoming painfully obvious that this was not a zombie show. Good performances from Melanie Scrofano, Andy McQueen and Steve Ogg made it worthwhile.
Episode 461: Revival E8+9
The manifold plotlines of Revival continue to writhe and resolve themselves as the season approaches its end.
Episode 460: Revival E6+7
Revival still packs a lot of plot into its run time but some of the cracks are starting to show in the production in the late season.
Episode 459: Revival E4+5
We heart Ibrahim Ramin & Em gets de-banged this week on the show.
Episode 458: Revival E3
Reanimated found the funeral scene to be more punk rock than the actual punk rock show.
Episode 457: Revival E1+2
This is a charming show on SYFY - good cast, good writing, sign us up!
Episode 456: 28 Years Later
Fresh from the theater to your ears - we spill all the beans, spoilers and all, about 28 Years Later.
We also get into etiquette more than a little. To quote the good Shepherd Book from Firefly:
"... you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater."
Episode 455: Sinners (2025)
Turns out two Michaels B. Jordan is not too many.
Episode 454: Nosferatu (2024)
Robert Eggers retelling of the gothic tale of Count Orlok is accomplished through the precise application of 5,000 trained rats.
Episode 453: The Last of Us S2E7 - Convergence
The season finale leaves the story in a place where a seven-episode season feels insufficient and the gang has some beef with a few writing choices made. Even so, season 3 needs to hurry up and get here.
Episode 452: The Last of Us S2E6 - The Price
Joel and Ellie experience some of their happiest times and events take place that bring old wounds back to the surface.
Episode 451: The Last of Us S2E5 - Feel Her Love
Reanimated breaks down "Feel Her Love" as Ellie and Dina sneak through war-torn Seattle, face off with Wolves and Scars, and Ellie’s quest for vengeance leads her into the depths of the hospital-culminating in a tense showdown with Nora.
Episode 450: The Last of Us S2E4 - Day One
This week on the podcast - Seattle Correspondent Kyle has some thoughts about how the show is reflecting his city as Dina and Ellie attempt to find their footing and we get to bask in Jeffrey Wright's performance as Isaac.
Episode 449: The Last of Us S2E3 - The Path
Reanimated joins the community of Jackson as it attempts to come to terms with the events of the past few months.
Episode 448 - The Last of Us S2 E2 - Through the Valley
"... and this is Joel."
Episode 447: The Last of Us S2 E1 - Future Days
Kyle rejoins for some reactions to the start of the second season of The Last of Us!
Episode 446: Generation Z E5+6
This is the end - of Generation Z, anyway. This show tried to do an awful lot and succeeded at times, but ultimately, it just didn't have time to do what Ben Wheatley was trying to accomplish.
Episode 445: Generation Z E3+4
We return for more of Ben Wheatley's Generation Z and can't help but adore Viola Prettejohn's turn as Finn.
Episode 444: Generation Z E1+2
It's off to Damsbury for some generationally charged zombocalypse metaphor with Ben Wheatley's Generation Z.
Episode 434 - Die Alone (2024)
It's one part Memento, one part Endzeit and a dash of Big Love on this week's Reanimated show about Die Alone. Come have a listen!
Episode 442 - Outside (2024)
Some wildly good performances, stunning cinematography and a tight script all come together to make this Filipino film really stand out.
Episode 441 - Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End (2024)
Reanimated tackles the Spanish film Apocalypse Z on this week's podcast - the gang loved the pacing and storytelling in this adaptation of a popular novel and we're looking forward to the sequel!
Episode 440 - Salem's Lot (2024)
Despite there being about 60 minutes missing from this movie, and at times it showed - Reanimated had a good time in Salem's Lot. Between a great cast, some fantastic editing and creepy Gordon Lightfoot songs, this really was a fun time.
Episode 439: Silo S2E10 - Into the Fire
Reanimated finishes up in the bunker for now with the second season of Silo. Back to our regularly scheduled undead fare.
Episode 438: Silo S2E9 The Safeguard
We get a lot of answers about what went on in Silo 17 and Lukas finds out a lot about what is going on in Silo 18. The lives of ten thousand hang in the balance.
Episode 437: Silo S2E8 The Book of Quinn
A rare miss for Silo, this episode had Reanimated wishing we had the bends and could just hang out underwater until the plot decided it wanted to move on in a more meaningful manner.
