Episode 179: The Walking Dead: An Epic Franchise

Science Fiction did it first, thanks to properties like Star Trek, Star Wars, and Battlestar Galactica. Fantasy finally made it with the help of The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. Did what? Broke into the mainstream. And for the Zombie Apocalypse what finally got this sub-genre over the hump, from niche interest to broad cultural relevance, was The Walking Dead.
