The time has come. Our friend Lee Donaldson is now finally showing off the labours of his hard work, Dead Zero. In a windy hotel on Southend seafront Michael and I attended the Horror On Sea movie festival, meeting up with Lee, and watching the first 31 minutes of Dead Zero. What did we think? You will have to listen to find out, but as a little taster, it was a lot better than many of the movies we have seen in the genre. It needs work, and it needs the backstories of the characters, but it was still thoroughly entertaining.

Michael has caught up, watching Tyler Posey and Donald Sutherland in Matt Naylor's Alone (Final Days in the UK), the western version of #ALIVE. Will he like it more? He is also tattooed. He also likes rock music. Listen to find out.

As we excitedly prepare ourselves to head to the Horror On Sea movie festival at the weekend and the premier of Dead Zero, Michael and I go wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy back, back into time, to the first episode of The Undead Symphony Pod. Back then I didn't have a Michael, didn't have a format, didn't have the theme tune and didn't have the celebrity intros.

In episode one I watched the #Alive and Final Days, both based on the same script Alone by Matt Naylor, who worked on both movies. It was that whole Let Me In, Let the Right One In, kinda scenario where two movies came out at the same time based on the same script, one American and one not, and both very good.

After discussing #Alive today, we shall reconvene for Final Days tomorrow, but in this lunchtime chinwag, we ended up expanding our chat to South Korean horror as a whole and it's place in the world of zombie entertainment.
