Celebrate three years of Bring Me The Axe with us as we continue our annual tradition of a deep dive into the world of George A. Romero and his iconic living dead series. For our last two anniversaries we featured Dawn of the Dead and Night of the Living Dead so it only makes sense that close out year three with the highly divisive (and Bryan's favorite), Day of the Dead.

Taking place late in the zombie plague, a motley crew of scientists and military take shelter in an underground bunker, researching the cause and a possible solution to the problem at hand: mankind being driven to the brink of extinction against a worldwide zombie holocaust. Tensions are high, supplies are low, and morale is lower as the operation cracks at the seams. One scientist thinks he has a solution, demonstrated by his domesticated pet zombie, Bub.

Released in 1985 as the third film in a three picture deal with United Film Distribution Company, Romero's epic vision of a horror movie, "Gone With The Wind With Zombies", to quote Romero, had to be scaled back significantly when Romero refused UFDC's mandate for an R-rated movie, insisting instead on a hyper-violent, gory spectacle. The result is languid, talky character drama cast with wild over-actors and punctuated by grisly violence and zombie carnage. It's Romero at his most conflicted but Tom Savini at his absolute best.

In this absolute cartoon of a martial arts movie, the mafia has bought into a valuable city project to build a new civic center in South Central Los Angeles but the only thing holding up the development is one holdout, a karate school that refuses to sell out. The mafia calls up a local loan shark to put the pressure on the school and when they accidentally kill the school's owner it's up to Black Belt Jones and the owner's daughter to team up, rip off the gangsters and get justice. Things get a little blurry between the beginning and the end but in spite of it flying by the seat of its pants and barely making any sense, the movie is a hell of a good time.

It's Friday the 13th and you know what that means! This Friday we're taking on 1985's great betrayal. They said they were done with The Final Chapter. The story was told. Jason was dead. No more Friday the 13th movies for you! But money moves all tides and you can't stop Jason Voorhees so they found a way to bring him back for one more, and one more, and one more. You get the picture. Our good friend Aileen Clark from Uy Que Horror and our sister podcast, Laughing in the Dark, an Are You Afraid of the Dark rewatch pod, joins us for all the mayhem and carnage.

It's five years later and Tommy Jarvis, badly traumatized by his encounter with Jason in the last movie is on his way to a half-way house after years of mental institutions. He's still haunted and as we'll see with the patients at this facility, maybe many of them aren't ready to ease back into society. If it's not bad enough that he still sees Jason everywhere he looks, a series of brutal murders happen just as he's settling in to his new space. When the dust settles, it would appear that Jason Voorhees is back for more bodies but something's up with this Jason. What could it be?
