Show Notes

So, I had the very awesome opportunity to attend the third annual George A Romero Foundation Pioneer Awards virtual ceremony this weekend and see them honor the late great Richard J Ricci, close friend and consistent collaborator of Romero since the very beginning. As part of this ceremony, they screened the premiere of a lost Romero short film. This was something that Ricci and Romero worked on before Night of the Living Dead, all the way back in 1962, and Ricci completed in the last months of his life.  It was a really rare and special opportunity and I was so grateful to be there!

Huge praise to the gods of the show: The Alita Army and Jack Thorne for their generous donations to help end Type One Diabetes, and most greatest praise is reserved for the one and only god of gods, with a whopping $10,000 donation, Zach Whittier!!!!
