New Horror Movies Ep. 078: Dead Man Still Walking - Gaia (2021) and The Girl With All the Gifts (2016)

Jay of the Dead's New Horror Movies

Time for Double Trouble with Dr. Bishop! This 25th Edition is a special “Double Episode” of DEAD MAN STILL WALKING, in which your intrepid host, Dr. Walking Dead Kyle Bishop, discusses Gaia (2021) and The Girl With All the Gifts (2016)! These two films feature depictions of the fungal zombie (aka “mycological zombie”), which is a type of zombification that actually occurs in the real world — just not among humans … yet. Kyle explores how these unusual zombie films are a little more “Science” and a little less “Science Fiction.” Speaking of which, you don’t want to miss Dr. Bishop’s creepy preface about ophiocordyceps unilateralis — the “zombie ant fungus”! Nightmare fuel, especially if you’re an ant. Join us!
