Cultural Marxism: Night of the Living Dead (1968) & Day of the Dead (1985) w/ Leslie Lee III
Added 2024-11-11 11:00:14 +0000 UTCJamie is joined by Leslie Lee III (@leslieleeiii) of the podcast Struggle Session to discuss two cult classic zombie movies from the father of the genre, George A. Romero: "Night of the Living Dead" (1968) and "Day of the Dead" (1985). In these two spine-chilling films, the left-leaning director interrogates racism, the military industrial complex, and American society writ large, making for politically interesting viewing.

Good point re: the entrances! Watching them in the zombie cave was so nerve wracking.

There's this whole two entrances thing in this move too, one super modern button operated hydraulic lift and then there's this ramshackle cattle sluice type thing, I don't know it's cool that they escape through the shitty caves and are betrayed by the hi-tec or something.
