What if zombies weren't just the stuff of viral infections? Join us on "Will You Survive?" as we unravel the origins of those flesh-eating nightmares, venturing beyond the usual viral suspects to explore the innovative and sometimes bizarre causes of zombie outbreaks. Eric expresses his frustration with the overuse of viral origins, while TJ applauds the creative genius behind "The Last of Us" and craves more originality, like a witch's curse. Special guest Rosie chimes in with her personal preferences, leading to a spirited debate on what makes each trope thrilling or tiresome.
Are fast zombies really scarier than their slow counterparts? We tackle the age-old debate on zombie speed, with Rosie sharing her asthma-induced dread of fast zombies and TJ advocating for the slower, rigor mortis-consistent undead. We also scrutinize the various ways zombies can transmit their infections, from bites to blood exposure. Highlighting the realistic portrayal of bloodborne pathogens in "28 Days Later," we emphasize the crucial survival tactics you need to avoid turning into one of the undead yourself.
Ever wondered who you'd become in a zombie apocalypse? We explore the archetypes of survivors, with TJ as the builder, Eric as the planner and potential animal trainer, and Rosie as the indispensable medic. We even ponder the unlikely but intriguing concept of zombie animals, inspired by cult classics like "Zombievers." As we discuss the moral dilemmas of dealing with infected loved ones, the conversation turns heartfelt yet humorous, highlighting the emotional and ethical complexities that could arise in a world overrun by zombies. Tune in for a blend of humor, personal stories, and thought-provoking discussions that might just prepare you for the unthinkable.
