Brother D & Miss Bren just got home from the movie theater, and wanted to dust off the microphone and talk about World War Z (dir. Marc Forster). This is the first time the two have settled down behind the microphone since Mail Order Zombie came to an end, so they spend a few minutes catching people up to speed, rapping about what's going on in their lives before talking about their hot and sweaty time at a Brad Pitt movie.

This is the end. This is the end, my friend. This is the final episode of Mail Order Zombie, and before Brother D and Miss Bren dive into the longest Feedback Discussion in MOZ history, we have the news with Need-A-Nickname Scott's Zombie Beat, a book review by Miss Bren (One Second After by William R. Forstchen), D's Zeditorial, one final Countdown to Cthulhu segment, discussion of the final two episodes of The Walking Dead's third season, a review of the movie Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection (dir.

Brother D and Miss Bren (with some help from their friends) present the winners of the 5th Annual Dead Letter Awards. This was a much lower key affair this year (with the exception of SOMEONE who used most of the Mail Order Zombie budget to go on vacation. After the awards, Bren and D have a special announcement. |

Eric and Jimmy from Galactic Gaming News have the latest in zombie video game news, Brother D goes to Wizard World Portland, we learn how Godzilla might fear in a zombie apocalypse from Kyle from the Kaijucast, we start counting down to the H.

Whether it's the 8th day or the 13th year, it's another (every other) Thursday, which means it's time for another episode of Mail Order Zombie! Brother D and Miss Bren are actually on the same page as the rest of America (this time!), and discuss (with SPOILERS) the latest episode of The Walking Dead; Silent Death and Death Song review Warm Bodies (dir.

James Eaves) from the anthology Nazi Zombie Death Tales, and drops some alternate title knowledge in his Zeditorial; Need-a-Nickname Scott brings the news in the Zombie Beat; Jimmy and Eric from Galactic Gaming News talk about an upcoming video game; and finally there's the Feedback.

In Episode 200, the Mail Order Zombie Family turns the tables on Brother D and Miss Bren by sending in their own interview questions for the two co-hosts, but that's all at the end of the show. Before the Feedback Discussion, Brother D reviews the short movie 2 Hours (dir. Michael Ballif), Terror Haute Kent reviews Warm Bodies (dir. Jonathan Levine), Silent Death reviews the novelizations of the Resident Evil film franchise, Miss Bren settles in for a spoilerific discussion of [REC] 3: Génesis, the open nomination period for the 5th Annual Dead Letter Awards kicks off, and . . .

It didn't take long for Brother D and Miss Bren to get caught up with the rest of the world. In this episode of Mail Order Zombie, they discuss the first half of Season Three of The Walking Dead. Did the female characters get some respect? Are the zombies still frightening? Would Tom Savini or Danny Trejo have made a better Governor? And what does Silent Death think of Jake Bible's novel Little Dead Man? Or what do Jimmy and Eric of Galactic Gaming News think about an upcoming zombie movie or zombie videogames? And what about Robert R. Best? What's the deal with his zombie novels? Will you listen to Episode 199 of Mail Order Zombie? |
Wed, 2 January 2013
Brother D is a little sick this week (it's not a zombie plague, it's not a zombie plague), so there's no movie reviews this time around, but he still powers through the final two episodes of Season Two of The Walking Dead with Miss Bren. Silent Death is joined by Deathsong for a review of Jonathan Maberry's Rot & Ruin, and Bren wraps up the show with D with the Feedback Discussion. (Some production music produced by Kevin MacLeod.) |
Thu, 20 December 2012
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. |
Wed, 24 October 2012
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. |

One of the best parts of producing Mail Order Zombie is all the discoveries I make along the way, and in producing Mail Order Zombie #187, I discovered the phrase, "I'm a sandwich, you're my bacon." Before getting to that point, though, we review the movies Zombie on the Loose (dir. Conrad Brooks) and Cost of the Living: A Rom Zom Com (dir. Daniel Lee White). Silent Death reports from his bunker with a joint review of the films [REC] 2 (dir. Jaume Balagueró, Paco Plaza) and Quarantine 2 (dir. John Pogue) and Zombie Anarchist sits down with an interview with Scott Hill from Flying Frog Productions (makers of the excellent game Last Night on Earth). Miss Bren ALMOST gets a taste of some post-apocalyptic excitement at the beginning and at the end of the show. |

Brother D takes a short movie-watching-and-reviewing break in Episode 186 of Mail Order Zombie, but that leaves room for a book review from Silent Death when he visits Dust by Joan Frances Turner. Need-a-Nickname Scott dips his toes into the news with the Zombie Beat, Don Coscarelli tells us a bit about John Dies at the End and we go back to Crypticon Seattle for the panel "Zombies Can’t Run & Vampires Don’t Sparkle: The Psychology of Why We Argue Over What Fictional Things Can Or Can’t Do" with Eloise J. Knapp, Chris Saint, Steve Holetz, and Michael Montoure (with Brother D moderating).

185 episodes into the podcast, and we're FINALLY talking about some Full Moon movies on Mail Order Zombie! Brother D takes a look at two recent Full Moon releases: The Dead Want Women (dir. Charles Band) and Zombies vs. Strippers (dir. Alex Nicolaou). D is still haunted by the ghosts of Crypticon Seattle, and to purge those demons, he shares with the MOZ Family interviews with zombie authors Craig DiLouie, Nate D. Burleigh and Lyle Perez-Tinics. (They're zombie authors in that they write about zombies. They're not zombies who write . . . at least, not yet.) And at the end of the show, Miss Bren takes her familiar position as the person who keeps Brother D on track during the Feedback Discussion. |

The American Civil War and World War II? Just add zombies! This time around, Brother D takes a look at the movies Exit Humanity (dir. John Geddes) and War of the Dead (dir. Marko Mäkilaakso). The Crypticon coverage continues with mini-interviews with authors Eloise J. Knapp, Peter Clines, and Scott M. Baker, and actress Danielle Harris. Kim tosses in her thoughts on Knapp's The Undead Situation and Gareth Wood's The Rise, and Miss Bren joins D to talk about their experience at Van Con before diving into the Feedback Discussion.

Four score and a freakshow ago, Mail Order Zombie brought forth two more zombie movie reviews in Episode 183 of Mail Order Zombie. Brother D visits the sideshow when he reviews Freakshow Apocalypse: The Unholy Sideshow (dir. Matthew Broomfield), then revisits one of his favorite sub-sub-sub-genres: zombie Civil War stores with a review of Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies (dir. Richard Schenkman). There's more than movie reviews in this MOZ episode, though. Markus Taylor, the man behind the zombie known as Cheese from the zombie movie DeadHeads (dir. Brett Pierce & Drew T. Pierce), drops by for an interview about his work in DeadHeads, his other projects and the upcoming DeadHeads Cheese prequel. Devil Dinosaur, Jr., from the Dread Media podcast gives us a review of the novel Ladies Night by Jack Ketchum. And we start our recounting Seattle Crypticon 2012 when we chat with writers Gareth Wood and Jessica Meigs. After the Feedback with Miss Bren (which includes a very special announcement!), we have a recording of the panel "Zombies: Why the F@!$ Won't They Die?!" with panelists John Skipp (moderator), Scott Baker, Craig DiLouie, Gareth Wood, Derek M.

Earlier this month, Brother D spent three days in a row at Portland's Hollywood Theatre and managed to keep his sanity in tact at the Lovecraft Film Festival and went back to the theater the very next day for a screening of Juan de los Muertos, aka Juan of the Dead (dir. Alejandro Brugués), with Tequila Matt. After four days at the Hollywood, he needed the MOZ Family's help in picking another movie to review this episode. Will he take the advice of the Mail Order Zombie Family? While D was spending every waking moment at the Hollywood, and watching the second half of JABB pictures' The Collective, Volume 3, Silent Death reviewed the novel The New Zed Order: Survive by author Todd Sprague. Need-a-Nickname Scott returns with the Zombie Beat, and Miss Bren does her best to keep her husband from offending too many listeners north of the border. |

Brother D is on pins and non-Euclidean needles as he looks forward to this weekend's H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival & Cthulhu Con, but he's not so distracted that he can't put together Episode 181 of Mail Order Zombie! This time around, he takes a look at the 2012 zombie movie release The Terror Experiment (dir. George Mendeluk). This episode also features Part One of a two-part review of JABB pictures' latest anthology release The Collective, Volume 3. The Mail Order Zombie offers up some reviews of their own when Silent Death reviews the videogame The Walking Dead from Telltale Games, and a review of the Mira Grant's novel Feed comes from Eradication H. In addition to the Lovecraft Film Festival, Brother D will also be attending Crypticon Seattle this month where he'll be a panelist, so he talks about that as well before Miss Bren joins him for this episode's Feedback Discussion. (Brother D would like to formally apologize to the Lifetime television network. He's not entirely sure why, but he feels that he must.) INTRO (00:00)

Another episode of Mail Order Zombie, another movie review . . . and a film festival . . . and revisiting two movies we've already talked about on the show before! Brother D checks out the rampaging 1980 movie Nightmare City (dir. Umberto Lenzi), and Need-a-Nickname Scott can finally check watching Helldriver (dir. Yoshihiro Nishimura) off his bucket list by checking out the Blu-ray at MOZ Central. Also, D and Scott crammed into the MOZ-Mobile with Miss Bren and Missing-a-Moniker Tracey and drove to the Evergreen State last weekend to check out the 2012 BoneBat Comedy of Horrors Film Festival where at least one of them rewatched DeadHeads (dir. Brett Pierce and Drew T. Pierce) to see how it plays with a crowd. The entire MOZ Foursome share their thoughts on the Festival before Miss Bren and Brother D hit the Feedback Discussion at the end of the show.

Michael Maruska). (With a name like Zombedy, it HAS to be a zombie comedy, right?) Silent Death is back with another book review when he takes a look at Cherie Priest's flavored-with-zombies steampunk novel Boneshaker, and Dr. J & KK return for the first time since the MOZ hiatus with a new installment of Med of the Dead.

In addition to all this movie talk, this episode of MOZ also delivers reviews of two zombie books (David Moody's Autumn, reviewed by Casey Criswell; and James Knapp's State of Decay, reviewed by Silent Death) and a zombie videogame (Miss Bren reads a Resident Evil: Director's Cut review by Empty Wallet Gamers' Eric Lee Lewis). The Zombie Beat makes its return with Need-a-Nickname Scott's round-up of the latest in zombie news (with an assist from Richard from Wichita), 'dillo brings us a wee bit of fun in the form of a short audiodrama, and the rest of the MOZ Family get in on the act in the Feedback Discussion. |

In this episode of Mail Order Zombie, Brother D talks about a zombie movie that's been on his radar since he first heard about it in 2010, but since it has such an innocuous name like The Dead (dir. Howard J. Ford and Jonathan Ford), it was difficult to find much information about it online before it was released in the UK last year. It hits DVD and Blu-ray in the US this month, and you'll have to listen to Episode #174 to hear if the movie lives up to D's expectations! This episode also features the first of MOZ's occasional Palette Cleansers in which D walks the MOZ Family through JABB pictures' The Collective Vol. 2. After the Feedback at the end of the show with Miss Bren, D takes some inspiration from a recent episode of Outside the Cinema and presents his Top Six List of Zombie Movies That Would Make Awesome Video Games. |

It could be argued that Bill Hinzman's performance in the original Night of the Living Dead created the zombie archetype that would define our favorite movie monster for over forty years. In March 2011, he appeared on Mail Order Zombie for an interview supporting his then-latest movie River of Darkness, and during the interview Brother D and Mr. Hinzman couldn't leave the zombies alone. |

We're not podfading - we're pod-recharging! This is Episode 172, the final-for-now episode of Mail Order Zombie, and before we go on hiatus for the rest of 2011, we've got a lot of business to finish. Brother D takes a look at the movies World of the Dead: The Zombie Diaries (dir. Michael Bartlett and Kevin Gates), Attack of the Moon Zombies (dir. Christopher R. Mihm) and Woods of Terror/Zombie Village (dir. Jason Impey). MOZ Family Member Zombiwan calls in to help talk about the movie Forest of the Dead (dir. Brian Singleton), and Miss Bren sits down with D to watch and talk about Season One of the television series Zombie Hunters: City of the Dead (created by Patrick Devaney, who's featured with producer Chrisopher J. Murphy in an interview from HorrorHound Weekend). Even though Brother D and Miss Bren are taking a break from zombie podcasting, Professor Chad isn't missing a step with his Zombie Aptitude Test and is still take answer for the current ZAT question. Need-a-Nickname Scott is back with the news in the Zombie Beat; the winner of the Zombie Hunters contest is announced; we review your emails and voicemails in the Feedback Discussion . . . we packed a lot into this episode to help tide you over until Mail Order Zombie proper returns in January 2012! |
Wed, 7 September 2011
In this week's episode of Mail Order Zombie, Brother D pushes through three movie reviews: Vs. The Dead (dir. Jeff Beckman and Phil Pattison), The Walking Dead Girls (dir. Tyler Benjamin) and Bloodlust Zombies (dir. Dan Lantz); he also tackles the upcoming novel Dead of Night: A Zombie Novel from award-winning author Jonathan Maberry. Throw in some hot Zombie Aptitude Test action, the Feedback Discussion and a new contest? Let's do this thing! |
Wed, 31 August 2011
Need-a-Nickname Scott & Tracey bring us another recording from the Famous Monsters of Filmland from earlier this year. This time around, they bring us the panel devoted to the Dead Letter Award-winning documentary Autopsy of the Dead. If you listen closely, you'll get to hear Scott even ask the panel a question or two (but, oddly enough, he doesn't ask about the naked zombie - go figure). Also, Professor Chad is back with a new Zombie Aptitude Test question for the MOZ Family. |
Wed, 24 August 2011
Our internet connection tried to completely die on us . . . Bren tried to completely die on us . . . but we still have our final installment of our Post-Apocalyptic Summer series, Brother D, Miss Bren and Tracey spend some time On the Beach. Bren and Tracey read the Nevil Shute novel; D and Bren watched the 2000 Australian television mini-series (dir. Russell Mulcahy); all three watched the 1959 film (dir. Stanley Kramer). Also, Brother D reviews the answers from this PAS series' Post-Apocalyptic Quiz, and Bren joins him for another serving of the Feedback Discussion. |

This week on Mail Order Zombie, Brother D takes a look at the anthology horror film Drive-In Horrorshow (dir. Michael Neel), and Dead Letter Award-nominated writer Robert R. Best (Lakewood Memorial, Ashton Memorial) calls in his thoughts about the classic Phantasm (dir. Don Coscarelli). And while we don't normally do a lot of Feedback in these off-week episodes, but Brother D wants to address something brought up by a listener and then, please . . . PLEASE . . . can we stop talking about zombie |
Wed, 10 August 2011
Brother D is crushing dreams by refusing to talk about zombie porn in Episode 169 of Mail Order Zombie. Instead, he gets his Western groove on with a review of the movie The Dead and the Damned, aka Cowboys and Zombies (dir. Rene Perez). Some MOZ Family members (Lionmark, Silent Death and Jay from PennyCult) take a look back on some movies previously discussed on the show and offer their own takes. Deadfinger calls in with a brief update on the production of World War Z, Professor Chad reviews your Zombie Aptitude Test answers from last month and presents the latest ZAT question, and Miss Bren joins the show for the Feedback Discussion. Frank Darabont walks from The Walking Dead - http://www.deadline.com/2011/07/walking-dead-shocker-frank-darabont-steps-down-as-showrunner/ |

You know him as Zombie Hunter Tony, but last week at Powell's, he was known as Tony Faville, author of the books Kings of the Dead and Avery Nolan: Private Dick of the Dead.

It's the end of the month, which means it's time for the end of the world with another Post-Apocalyptic Summer episode on Mail Order Zombie! This time around, Brother D and Miss Bren take a look at The Postman (dir. Kevin Costner) and Damnation Alley (dir. Jack Smight), with an assist from MOZ Family Members Tracey and Scott, respectively. Not only do they tackle the movies, they also tackle the books upon which the films were based. Also, 'dillo prepared a review of the film A Boy and His Dog (dir. L. Q. Jones) (which I say still has one of the best DVD cover art images ever - a smiley face in a mushroom cloud - GOLD!). Mixed into the episode is a bit of post-apocalyptic news, the Post-Apocalyptic Quiz, the Zombie Aptitude Test and a more-musical-than-normal Feedback Discussion. |
Wed, 20 July 2011
We're dipping back into the Crypticon well with Episode 167.5 of Mail Order Zombie. This week, Brother D presents a recording from the Zombies! panel. It was a sort of free-for-all panel that took place Saturday night across the hall from the Saturday night loud-music-and-booze-filled party, so it sounds like there's a LOT more excitement happening in the room than they might have really been. Or not. Listen, and you decide. On the panel were Brother D, Eric Pope, Reverend en Fugue, Steven J. Holetz, Timothy W. Long and Mark Rahner. |
Wed, 13 July 2011

And don't forget Professor Chad's Zombie Aptitude Test! |
Thu, 7 July 2011

Can you count the number of times Brother D drops the "needle-scratching-across-a-record" sound effect into Episode 165 of Mail Order Zombie, your weekly zombie movie and media podcast since 2008? Someone needs to go into his hard drive and delete that .mp3 . . . maybe while they're listening to the two reviews this week? Brother D takes at look at Garden of the Dead (dir. John Hayes) and Super Zombies: Long Live the Dead II (dir. Keith Samland). Some contest winners are announced, and a new contest - courtesy of Top Trumps - is launched, and the rest of the show features what you've come to expect from MOZ - Professor Chad and the Zombie Aptitude Test, Need-a-Nickname Scott and the Zombie Beat and Miss Bren joining Brother D for the Feedback Discussion. |

MOZ Family Theatre: Return of the Zombei |
Thu, 23 December 2010
For six glorious weeks in 2010, audiences around the world proved that zombies have a home on television. The Walking Dead broke ratings records, and in this episode of Mail Order Zombie, Brother D and Miss Bren take a critical look at the final two episodes of the first season, and discuss what they hope the second season will bring. |
Sun, 19 December 2010
Brother D takes a look the Christmas genre offering Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (dir. Jalmari Helander), and in the middle of the review, he gets sidetracked and talks about Millcreek Entertainment's 2010 releases. |
Thu, 16 December 2010
This is the last "regular" episode of Mail Order Zombie of 2010, and Brother D tackles the holiday season by reviewing two Christmas-themed zombie movies - Silent Night, Zombie Night (dir. Sean Cain) and Santa Claus Versus the Zombies (dir. Gary Bonilla). To not get too ho-ho-ho'ed out, Brother D turns to Need-a-Nickname Scott, who joins him for a review of Death of the Dead (dir. Gary King), and then rocks a solo review of Stag Night of the Dead (dir. Neil Jones). Four zombie movie reviews in one episode? It's a Christmas miracle. And you know who else is a miracle? Miss Bren. She braves the backlog of Feedback in this week's Feedback Discussion. Another miracle? Brother D and Miss Bren manage to make it through the Feedback Discussion without COMPLETELY derailing the show. |

Thu, 9 December 2010
The classic Romero film Day of the Dead is the topic dejour of Episode 150 of Mail Order Zombie (as is Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs)! Miss Bren finally sat down to watch the third film in the ...Dead franchise (it's the fourth ...Dead film she's watched, fifth if you count Shaun..., but that's not really a Romero film so nevermind!), and she joins Brother D to discuss the movie. Brother D resurrects the review he produced of the film's soundtrack album (from way back in Episode 53), and Need-a-Nickname Scott - when he's not dishing the news in the Zombie Beat - takes a look at the original screenplay for the film. A few friends of the show and Mail Order Zombie Family Members also call in their thoughts on the film. And because Brother D both called Miss Bren's bluff and had his own bluff called, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs also gets the Mail Order Zombie treatment (and the Family Movie Night podcast helped out with that!). After the Feedback Discussion (was that . . . Honeydew . . . ?), we'll flash black to this past summer's Famous Monsters of Filmland Convention for the Day of the Dead panel (featuring Mark Tierno, Terry Alexander, Gary Klar, Joe Pilato, Michael Gornick; moderated by Billy Graham) courtesy of Need-a-Nickname Scott and his wife Tracey. |

A special word from two special members of the MOZ Family! |
Thu, 2 December 2010
This is the last episode of Mail Order Zombie before Miss Bren gets Day of the Dead'ed in our special 150th episode next week! Episode 149 features reviews of the movies The Mental Dead (2003, dir. Adam Deyoe) and Lynch Mob (2010, dir. Byron Erwin). Last month's Zombie Aptitude Test questions are reviewed before a new ZAT is aimed at the MOZ Family, and near the beginning of the Feedback Discussion, Miss Bren and Brother D talk a bit (more) about The Walking Dead, and Need-a-Nickname Scott takes a break from Movin' Like Berney to bring the week's select zombie news in the Zombie Beat. (Various production music produced by Kevin MacLeod) |
Thu, 25 November 2010
Happy Thanksgiving, and thanks for listening to Mail Order Zombie Episode 148, the final week of Rise of the Dead Reich, the Nazi Zombie Movie Month! This week, Brother D casts his gaze into the murky waters of 1981's Zombie Lake (dir. Jean Rollin). On a non-Nazi-zombie-related note, he also spends some quality time with a single zombie in the movie Make-Out With Violence (dir. The Deagol Brothers). When he isn't presenting the weekly zombie news in the Zombie Beat, Need-a-Nickname Scott reviews the novel Paul is Undead: The British Zombie Invasion by Alan Goldsher, and of course, Miss Bren helps keep the show on track when she joins Brother D for the Feedback Discussion. This is the final week for November's Zombie Aptitude Test, and as a BONUS at the end of the episode, we present the very first episode of Mail Order Zombie Family Theatre with the story "Zack Bites Back." |
Mon, 22 November 2010
Brother D and Miss Bren throw off the chains of remaining Spoiler-free and talk about The Walking Dead with no restraint! Along the way, Miss Bren gets distracted by snow and Brother D gets dangerously close to adding the suffix -ocalypse to too many words. |
Thu, 18 November 2010
How do you say the words kilts, lesbian, armageddon, bad acting, good lyrics, nachos, inappropriate use of water fowl anatomy, television, divorce, and, um, Nazi in German? In podcasting language, all these words MIGHT be pronounced "Mail Order Zombie Episode 147." In this week's episode, Brother D reviews the movies Cupcake: A Zombie Lesbian Musical from director Rebecca Thomson and Armageddon of the Dead from director Damon Crump. For Rise of the Dead Reich, he takes a look at the 1943 film Revenge of the Zombies from director Steve Sekely. The third episode of The Walking Dead aired here in the states last Sunday, so Miss Bren joins Brother D for another spoiler-free discussion of the television show (it's getting tougher and tougher to stay spoiler-free!), and Need-a-Nickname Scott has the news in the Zombie Beat. This week's Feedback Discussion runs a bit on the long-side this week, so consider yourself warned, but, hey, you watch bad zombie after bad zombie movie with Brother D, right? You can probably handle some extra emails and voicemails from the Mail Order Zombie family! |

Another week of November, another Nazi zombie movie covered on Episode 146 of Mail Order Zombie. Brother D continues his look at this sub-sub-genre of zombie films when he reviews 1977's Shock Waves from director Ken Wiederhorn. He also takes a look at Nicholas Aubrey's recent release Zombie Town: The Movie. Zombart catches up with horror hostess Ms. Monster, and Miss Bren joins the show not just for the Feedback Discussion, but to also discuss Episode 2 of AMC's The Walking Dead. |

After 143 episodes and 250 movie reviews, Brother D is drawing a blank for a clever show description for Episode 143 of Mail Order Zombie . . . or maybe watching The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Died and Became Mixed-Up Zombies did him in . . . even if Need-a-Nickname Scott held his hand while reviewing the Ray Dennis Steckler cult classic. Also, D reviews the book Night of the Living Dead: Behind the Scenes of the Most Terrifying Zombie Movie Ever. Richard from Wichita lets the MOZ Family know about two zombie-ish events happening in his neck of the woods, and Miss Bren has recovered from her root canal to knock out a chunk of voicemails and emails in this week's Feedback Discussion. Umami. |

One-hundred forty-one episodes and still going strong! In Episode 141 of Mail Order Zombie, Brother D, Miss Bren and Need-a-Nickname Scott are joined by two members of the MOZ Family this week. While Brother D reviews Nightmare Alley, Silent Death reviews a movie that Brother D may not have gotten to while Zombart brings us an interview with the Ghouligans. Additionally, last month's Zombie Aptitude Test answers are reviewed and a new ZAT question is posed to the MOZ Family. |
