This week we are discussing Edgar Wright's zombie comedy about the mundanity of day to day life under late capitalism, Shaun of the Dead. Featuring star turns for Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the movie examines the question of how to live a meaningful life through the familiar tropes of a zombie picture. We consider the ways the issues at play in this film from 20 years ago might be handled today, while comparing our own feelings about ambition and what it means to be "not a zombie" in a world marked by a relentless urgency to "get ahead."

We open the episode discussing the recent horrible flooding in Texas, as well as the potential ramifications of the just passed "Big Beautiful Bill."

This episode contains spoilers for Shaun of the Dead.
