About this listen

 Dan, Manny, & Billy welcome Erin Áine & Kyle Valle to talk all about the indie filmmaking journey behind their movie ZombieCon Vol. “Sometimes people are a**holes, [and] then they turn into zombies.” -Dan This is the second part of the ZombieCon Vol.1 two-parter, and it’s a Nostalgia 101 for the books. Erin Áine & Kyle Valle answer all the guys’ questions about the making of ZombieCon, some of the insane moments in the film, and they even let them behind the curtain of some of the reasons for their creative choices. They also answer questions that Dan collected from Instagram and TikTok, and they even let us in on some production secrets and upcoming projects. If you’re an aspiring filmmaker or just someone that loves a good indie-horror zombie flick, this episode is just for you, we promise. Oh! And Billy gets super nerdy with Erin and Kyle about their favorite anime. So, put your holiday spirit on hold, grab a cold beverage and a snack, and why not put on your best cosplay outfit because this episode it all sorts of Nostalgia Test Nerdiness. And if you’re looking for the perfect gift for the horror nerds in your life, order a copy of ZombieCon Vol.1 and some really awesome merch on their website. A group of cosplaying friends trigger a zombie apocalypse and are forced to traverse a zombie-infested Los Angeles to save their loved one.
