This is the last episode of Mail Order Zombie before Christmas, New Year's, AND the Mayan Apocalypse, so we hope you enjoy it when Brother D reviews The Living Impaired (dir. Michael Ray Fox) and Smush! A DeadHeads Short (dir. Brett Pierce and Drew T. Pierce), when Miss Bren joins him for three more episodes of The Walking Dead (Season Two), when Silent Death reviews the novel Plague Town: An Ashley Parker Novel by Dana Fredsti, when Galactic Gaming News drops by, or when Need-a-Nickname Scott brings the Zombie Beat!

Nearly every (free) antivirus and malware protection program were run through the computers here at MOZ Central, and we're ready to get back to business as usual at the podcast. This time around, Brother D and Miss Bren make it through two more episodes of Season Two of The Walking Dead, Silent Death takes on [REC] 3, Missing-a-Moniker Tracey reviews Isaac Marion's Warm Bodies, D wraps up his coverage of JABB pictures' The Collective, Vol. 5, announcements are made about several special events and projects, and we have some feedback that's just too . . . spicy . . . too hot to handle . . . too . . . much? |

Is it too soon to start looking forward to our 200th episode? It is when we have so much to get to in Episode 195 of Mail Order Zombie! This time around, Brother D reviews the feature film release Operation: Nazi Zombies (dir. David B. Stewart III), as well as three more shorts from JABB pictures' The Collective, Vol. 5 (A (gore)aphobic, Consumption of the Heart, and Zombie Soup). Miss Bren joins him to look at three more episodes of Season Two of The Walking Dead before lending her voice to help D review the zombie movie reference book Zombi Mexicano by Keith J. Rainville. Silent Death takes us back to his bunker to review Metal and Ash by Jake Bible (when he isn't trying to school Brother D on who Michelle Ryan is or tell us what he continues to think about the television series Revolution), Jimmy and Eric from Galactic Gaming News have a special announcement, and Need-a-Nickname Scott has the news in the Zombie Beat.

We don't know where your zombies are, but we know where we keep ours - Episode 194 of Mail Order Zombie. This time around, Brother D reviews the new zombie movie Cockneys vs Zombies (dir. Matthias Hoene) and then ropes Miss Bren into talking about [REC] 2 (dir. Jaume Balagueró, Paco Plaza) and The Bay (dir. Barry Levinson) . . . but not necessarily in that order - this episode of MOZ was recorded in the most random way possible with the Feedback Discussion being recorded with Bren and D Monday night, the Cockneys vs Zombies review Wednesday night, and the reviews of three short movies from The Collective Vol. 5 (Voice Over, They Said They Were Here to Help, and (se) XX_Z (ombie) sometime in between. We've even lost track of when the review of the first three episodes of season two of The Walking Dead was recorded! Jimmy and Eric from Galacic Gaming News seemed a bit more on the ball with their update on the latest in zombie video game news. |

Brother D survived his triple-booked weekend and he's here in episode #193 of Mail Order Zombie to talk about it! He attended the world premiere of I Heart Monster Movies (dir. Tyler Benjamin), went Howl Con (the first annual werewolf convention), and watched a handful of short movies at Zompire, the Undead Film Festival. When he wasn't watching movies and hanging out with werewolf enthusiasts, he also reviewed the 2012 zombie movie Remains (dir. Colin Theys) and the Monster Pictures' compilation release Ultimate Zombie Feast. Need-a-Nickname Scott brings the latest and greatest in zombie news with his Zombie Beat, while Jimmy and Eric from Galactic Gaming News has zombie video game news. Throughout this episode, you'll hear the entries from the listeners trying to win the drawing for the book The Cabin in the Woods: The Official Visual Companion, and, of course, Miss Bren will help round out the show in the Feedback Discussion. Other things to listen for in this episode: a list of important werewolf films throughout the history of cinema, a zombie . . . er . . . living impaired running for political office, an Easter Egg, some real talk about RA, and the startling revelation that there might be something out there that makes Brother D feel pretty.

After YEARS of being completely honest with the podosphere at large about his feelings regarding Joss Whedon, Brother D FINALLY watched The Cabin in the Woods (dir. Drew Goddard). Does it change his world? Does it make him a Whedonite? Does Miss Bren join him in watching the movie? You'll have to listen to Episode 192 of Mail Order Zombie to find out. When he wasn't watching The Cabin in the Woods, D interviewed Gwen Callahan, one of the forces behind this year's Zompire vs. The H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival (October 12-14). During the interview, you'll find out what movies are playing that weekend and which movie will be turned into a drinking game. We return to Silent Death's Bunker for further thoughts about the television series "Revolution" (and a theory behind why Milla Jovovich won't return Need-a-Nickname Scott's phone calls); Jimmy and Eric from Galactic Gaming News give us the latest in zombie videogame news; we read some emails and listen to a voicemail in the Feedback Discussion; and there's a contest announced SOMEWHERE in this episode . . . but telling you where or when would be spoiling the surprise. While this is a SPOILER-heavy episode, we aren't going to spoil THAT! |

Miss Bren returns to Mail Order Zombie in Episode 191! She joins Brother D for the voicemails and emails that have been building up since her absence last week, but before we get to the Feedback Discussion, we have some movie reviews to work through. Brother D considers placing the blame for his zombie movie addiction on Uncle Romero when he takes a look at 2012's Blaming George Romero (dir. Robert Lise), and MOZ Family Members Silent Death and Need-a-Nickname Scott submit separate reviews of Milla Jovovich's latest go-round with the Umbrella Corporation in Resident Evil: Retribution (dir. Paul W. S. Anderson). The winners of the Strippers vs. Werewolves Blu-ray contest are announced, Brother D runs out of breath talking about several upcoming zombie-centric (and werewolf-centric?) events happening in the next few weeks, Scott drops the latest and greatest in zombie news, somebody special celebrates a special anniversary, and we have an interview with editor James Beach and author William F. Nolan. INTRO (00:00) ZOMBIE BEAT (04:49) SILENT DEATH ON RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION (17:23) BLAMING GEORGE ROMERO (19:97) NaNN SCOTT ON RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION (32:06) FEEDBACK (43:47) WILLIAM F.

Even though Brother D spent the last weekend at the Rose City Comic-Con, zombies weren't far from his mind. When he wasn't interviewing comics creators Chris Kohler and Mark Ledford, or chatting with transmedia creator Steve Coker, he watched and reviewed the 2012 short movie Zombie Proof (dir. Ben Lambeth) and the 1964 and/or 1970 film I Eat Your Skin (dir. Del Tenney). And when he's not at the convention and he's not watching zombie movies, D has an announcement or two to make about some upcoming October events. After the Feedback Discussion, the show drops in on the Rose City Comic-Con panel Dex Dixon, Paranormal Dick: Concept to Creation and Beyond. |

The line between zombie and vampire wears thin on Episode 189 of Mail Order Zombie when Brother D takes a look at movies like The Living Dead Girl (dir. Jean Rollin) and The Velvet Vampire (dir. Stephanie Rothman). Don't worry - while Mail Order Vampire may make a return appearance at some point, Brother D isn't going all bloodsucker on the MOZ Family; the review of The Velvet Vampire is part of this week's Palette Cleanser along with the second half of the review of The Collective, Vol. 4. On the straight-up zombie front, D reviews Zombie A-Hole (dir. Dustin Mills), and he's joined by Miss Bren, Need-a-Nickname Scott, (Missing-a-Moniker) Tracey and other members of the Mail Order Zombie Family to talk about ParaNorman (dir. Chris Butler, Sam Fell). The Feedback Discussion is at the end of the episode, and the Zombie Beat is at the beginning of the episode after a rambling show introduction in which Brother D announces a contest, talks briefly about an upcoming comic book convention, talks about the Facebook page, and sends a special shout-out to any podcasters based in the Pacific Northwest. |

Wayne Kotke a politician? Richard from Wichita a reviewer? The Umbrella Corporation cares? What madness is this? Listen to Mail Order Zombie #188 to find out. In this episode of MOZ, in addition to Wayne, Richard and the Umbrella Corporation speaking up-and-out, Brother D reviews the 2012 movie Humans Versus Zombies (dir. Brian T. Jaynes) and the upcoming movie Desolation (dir. Chris Dillon). He also begins his review of the latest collection from JABB pictures with Part One of his review of The Collective V.4. Last week, D was interviewed by Dr. Gangrene on the Metal Morgue Segment of the 6'+ podcast, and during that interview, he turned the tables on the good doctor to ask a question of his own for the MOZ Family, and The Umbrella Corporation has a very important public service announcement in this week's episode. Miss Bren joins the show for the Feedback Discussion with even more Wayne Kotke, some guest reviews from Richard from Wichita and other emails and voicemails from the listeners. |
