After a very long hiatus, the head ginger is back with a new episode with a new guest! In this episode we talk about zombies with our guest Sandra Lee, who has been watching horror films, end of the world survival movies, and catastrophic movies, since she was a young child, picking 28 Days Later to watch with her friends at a sleep over. Wes and Sandra go through her path to geekiness and the long history of zombies starting with references in Greek literature, through the introduction to main stream media with George Romero's Living Dead movies and finally the big zombie obsession that we have had in the last 10 years with an emphasis on the AMC series The Walking Dead. Read about Zombie History through 2008 from this paper written for a thesis in Dublin Ireland. http://www.thing.net/~rdom/ucsd/Zombies/From%20Voodoo%20to%20Viruses.pdf Geek definition on Bigthink.com https://bigthink.com/laurie-vazquez/are-you-a-geek-or-a-nerd Linda Cardellini was in Freaks and Geeks and is Laura Barton in the MCU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Cardellini
