After discussing state abbreviations for too long, Chris and Christin discuss the zombie (or ghoul) flick that started it all, George Romero's 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead. They discuss the rules of zombies and how they have evolved over the years, the underlying text of race in the movie and how attractive the couple in the basement are.


Then Christin tells Chris the origins of the word zombie and the story of Felicia Felix-Mentor, a Haitian woman who may have came back from the dead. 


What they are watching: Knives Out, ER


What they are drinking: Bone Dry Hard Cider, Core Crusher apple cider
