Have A Zombie Pest Problem?

     It is that time again, this week we give you our Zombie episode 'Send More Podcast Hosts' and hope you will one day survive the Inevitable Zombie Holocaust with our tips!  Listen in as we answer questions sent to Zombie vs Shark to help people be better prepared to handle the zombie hordes.
     In between answering questions, we also have some survival tips for zombies!  That's right, if you fall victim to the infection, then you will definitely want to pay close attention to these tips in order to enjoy a long fruitful afterlife as a walking undead.
     Finally, as a reminder, we will be off for one week and then we wrap up the season with our VS episode.  It is still not too late to submit an email to become a team member for the finale! Simply email us at zombievs.shark@yahoo.com with 'VS episode' in the subject heading and include your pop culture talents and who's team you would like to be on.  We look forward to reading your emails, good luck!

You Aught To Watch These Films From The Aughts

     In 'You're Proud Of That?' we close out our four-part installment of horror films by decade!  We journeyed from the 1970s, through 1980s, past 1990s and finally arrived to the 2000s; and we hope you all enjoyed the trip.  Frankly, we feel that this episode is one of our funniest episodes.  But that is not to take away from the great films we discuss.
     As Halloween draws near, we suggest you and your friends gather together to view some great films that scare!  As Jaye would say...take a little from column A and a little from column B and sprinkle in some from column C.  In other words, make up some fun movie nights from the films we shared with you from the past 40 years and remember to leave the lights on.
     Also, don't forget to email us (zombievs.shark@yahoo.com subject heading VS episode) for your chance to be apart of the VS episode in a few weeks.  Tell us what pop culture knowledge you have and who's team you would like to be on and you just might get a chance.

The 90s Were Like, So Yesterday!

     Halfway through our special horror films by decade lead-up to Halloween and we are having a blast! Hopefully you are too! Up next...duh, the 1990s. Haven't you been listening? The 90s were very interesting as it appeared to be an amalgamated mix of films. You can definitely see the 80s influence early, but by the mid-90s SCREAM creates a new path of self-aware horror films. Finally, at the end of the decade there was an infusion of Japanese horror films and continued into the 2000s.
     So download 'The iZombie?' now and then hit up your favorite place for DVDs to get your list of 90s films to enjoy! Also, please please please don't forget to send in your zombie questions as we are quickly approaching our zombie episode. On last thing...don't miss this episode to hear a very big, very special announcement. We are waiting.

Wanna play on our team?

We are looking for a few good women (and I guess men) who would like to participate in the end of the season challenge on ZOMBIE VS SHARK.
I know what you're thinking, "but guys, I thought it was a battle for 'King' of the podcast? How can I be on?" Great question invisible voice in my head. Here's how...
Since adding the legendary Joe Smith and the amazing Elynnes Parx it really couldn't be just a battle for King of the Podcast now could it.
So we will be playing teams. Tony and Jaye will still be fighting it out for King of the Podcast. Joe and Elynnes will be battling for Duke/Duchess of the Podcast. AND HERE'S WHERE YOU COME IN...
We each need a third for our team.
"but guys, what's in it for me?"
Another great question invisible voice in my head.
You, on the winning team, get to not only pick a topic for a future podcast, but you get to co-host with us AND you get to select all the musical breaks for that episode.
"Alright alright, how do I get on the team? And stop thanking me already it's getting weird."
Please write in to ZombieVS.Shark@yahoo.com and let us know what makes you the best teammate for our game show? Tell us what your pop culture areas of expertise are and whose team you would like to be on.
Send them in ASAP

Then, There Was The 80s!

     What do you think of when you hear '80s horror movies?' Is it a movie franchise, a certain movie monster/villain, a specific death scene? In this week's episode 'Impressionable Youths' we are certain that it was covered. In the 80s there was such a jumble of films, however when it was all said and done, we had the birth of the slasher film!
     Who takes it for you, Freddy or Jason? We discuss several of the scare factors that makes those two stand out monsters and we would love to hear what you think. Also, don't forget to get your zombie questions in for this season zombie episode coming up in just 2 short weeks! Email, Twitter, posting a comment here on the site are all great ways of getting in touch with us. Until next week...don't die.
