When a zombie named 'R' rescues a living girl instead of devouring her, everything shifts. Told through R’s reflective, darkly witty inner monologue, Warm Bodies challenges our assumptions of life, death, and what it means to feel. As R consumes Perry’s brain and begins to access memories, he forges a strange intimacy with Perry’s consciousness—raising the question: whose identity is really influencing R’s journey?

In this crossover episode, we join Sara and Greg from Wicked Words Bookclub Podcast dive deep into Isaac Marion’s bold reimagining of the zombie mythos. We examine how the mirrored, stagnating societies of zombies at an airport and humans in a stadium reflect each other, how R’s transformations mirror emotional rebirth, and whether love alone can shake entire systems.
