It's our spooky season episode! Remember Shuffle turns to a much requested topic, the zombie films of the 2000s. After tracing the history of zombie media and mythology, they review two major tentpoles of 2000s Zombie films, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's "28 Days Later" (2002) and Zack Snyder and James Gunn's "Dawn of the Dead" (2004). The Shuffle Bois discuss the themes and big ideas of these films, including individualism vs communitarianism, politics and class, as well as their tropes and style.Join the patreon to listen to the 2nd part of this episode on Zombie parody films, dropping next weekend https://www.patreon.com/c/RememberShuffleGive Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter And on Instagram @RememberShufflePod to interact with the show between episodes.

Remember the 2000s? A podcast about the dumbest decade in western history. So dumb most of it passed right through us without leaving us anything to think about, until now! We look at the most popular movies, subcultures, political movements, books, and video games of the decade and wonder what made them so popular to audiences in the 2000s, and how their legacy can still be seen today.
