About this listen

 Dan, Manny, & Billy put the 2024 American Horror/Comedy/Action film ZombieCon Vol.1 to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST (NOW)! “I'd be like, ‘Yo mom, there's f***ing zombies.’” -Manny In a world where ridiculously predictable legacy sequels, horrible reboots, and half-assed IP superhero movies are suffocating the movie watching experience, indie movies are fighting the good fight to save cinema! ZombieCon Vol.1 is a fun-filled horror/comedy/action film that will become your next favorite midnight cult classic for every Halloween cosplay party. The boys dive into it and give it the ball-busting Nostalgia Test treatment. They celebrate this movie the only way 3 dudes from Long Island know how: TO ROAST THE HELL OUT OF IT! The talk about learning what cosplay cons are all about, the importance of character deaths in horror movies, the hilarious Pop-Punk soundtrack during kill scenes, and the fun of an indie Zombie movie. This is part 1 of a 2-parter on ZombieCon, so make sure to follow the podcast to hear the interview with the director Kyle Valle & writer/actor Erin Áine on December 16th. So, get your best friends over to the house, dress up like your favorite characters, and turn the ball busting up to level ten! A group of cosplaying friends trigger a zombie apocalypse and are forced to traverse a zombie-infested Los Angeles to save their loved one.
