I hope nobody was hoping to see Matthew Broderick's picture on this list.

Agents of SHIELD 1.21 “Ragtag”

The real question becomes, is Ward salvageable? Marvel is all about the redemption arc.

Hannibal 2.10 “Naka-Choko”

I can’t really think of another crime show where the sex scenes are more unnerving than the murder scenes, so Fuller is doing something right.

Top Ten Greatest Daikaiju

These are the monsters with personality. The monsters with spirit. The monsters that made us want to build Lego cities and tear them down again.

Agents of SHIELD 1.20 “Nothing Personal”

That was a perfect moment in one of the most effectively crafted episodes of the season.

Agents of SHIELD 1.18 “Providence” & 1.19 “The Only Light in the Darkness”

It’s been drawn directly into the Post-S.H.I.E.L.D. world of the Marvel Movie Universe with everything that entails.

Drive-In Saturday

Oh wait. Did I not mention the mutant frog people? The movie's called Hell Comes to Frogtown after all.

Shaun of the Dead is the best zombie film ever made. There. I said it.

EZMM Day 8 (EASTER!): Braindead aka Dead Alive (1992)

All I can really say is that Braindead is extremely funny.

EZMM Day 7.2: Dawn of the Dead (2004)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 20, 2014 0 5

Dawn of the Dead 2004 may not have any pie fights or biker gangs, but it does have a relentless pace and some quite brutal set piece scenes.

EZMM Day 7.1: Night of the Living Dead (1990)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 20, 2014 0 13

I wouldn't say it's a better made film, but it's just as enjoyable as Romero's own.

EZMM Day 6: Return of the Living Dead (1985)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 19, 2014 3 20

While Romero's work focuses on the human survivors and how existing in this new world changes them, Return is all about the thrill and the gore.

EZMM Day 5: Dead & Buried (1981)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 18, 2014 1 3

Instead, what we have is a fleeting glimpse of an original living dead idea, brought to life with talent and grace that still failed miserably in the marketplace.

Spoiler Alert! Westeros has a dwarf theater troupe! And they do weddings!

EZMM Day 3: Dawn of the Dead (1978)

Paul Brian McCoy

By emphasizing the comedy here, he manages to make palatable the idea that humanity is doomed, our institutions are hollow, and our social structures are meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

EZMM Day 2: Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (1974)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 15, 2014 1 8

Let Sleeping Corpses Lie suggests that perhaps a cleansing is needed.

Agents of SHIELD 1.17 “Turn, Turn, Turn”

Paul Brian McCoy

April 15, 2014 3 14

It took a while, but Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. seems to have finally arrived.

EZMM Day 1.2: Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things (1972)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 14, 2014 0 10

Anya seems to almost float away into the crowd of walking corpses while even the dead seem shocked by Alan's betrayal.

EZMM Day 1.1: Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 14, 2014 3 13

Every single film or television show you watch with flesh-eating zombies in it is either inspired by, or responding to, Night of the Living Dead. Every single one.
