It's a very special episode here today on Soundtracker, for a few reasons. First, it's the 100th episode! Second, it's the official start of Soundtracker's 3rd annual Halloween celebration. And finally, I've got Brendan James of the incredible Blowback podcast here to talk with me about RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD.
In this episode, we talk about the music of Blowback, have a long conversation on John Carpenter, talk about horror movies in general, get to the bottom of why zombies are such great fodder for comedy, discuss the underrated way this movie balances true horror with comedy, talk about the subtle anti-Reagan social commentary, and look into the genre of death rock when we talk about the soundtrack.
