Nov 6, 2026 · 48 min · 10 segments
This week on **B Is for Bad**, we crack open the canister and unleash **The Return of the Living Dead (1985)** — the punk-rock zombie comedy that gave the undead a craving for brains and somehow made…
But this week, we're watching something very different.
Very, very different.
Return of the Living Dead.
Yeah! This is one of my favorite zombie movies.
Yeah, and I'm a huge zombie movie fan.
I love all the 80s and 70s zombie movies.
Of course, the original Day of the Dead, Night of the Dead, and Land of the Dead is good.
I think that's the one with...
The weird city and the zombies gain intelligence and everything, if I remember right.
I haven't seen it in a long, long time.
And they had the weird, like, fireworks they throw up in the air to distract the zombies.
I'm
like, that's fucking sweet.
It's been way too long since I've seen that one.
But this one is interesting.
It's a different take on a zombie movie.
They're more like classic, like, voodoo zombies rather than, like, what do I want to say? Like, dead zombies, I guess? Like, American zombies?
Yeah.
That's fair.
One of the things I really like about this is that it is basically a spiritual successor to Night of the Living Dead, the original.
Yeah, so much so they mentioned it.
Yeah, in the movie they actually mentioned that the original movie actually was based off a real life event that the government came in and changed a bunch of details so people wouldn't freak out that there was actually zombies that happened in the small town city or whatever.
Yeah.
