World War Z

Episode 106: World War Z (2013)

Theme: War Month
Hosts: Oz & Curtis

This week, Oz and Curtis sprint full-speed into World War Z — the Brad Pitt zombie thriller that plays like 28 Days Later × Train to Busan × Contagion… with just enough Harlem Globetrotters energy to justify how often everyone changes countries.

Your two favorite globe-hopping survivors dig into:

  • The Movie Marriage: 28 Days Later × Train to Busan × Contagion × a Globetrotters world tour.

  • Jerry Lane: Brad Pitt as the calmest man to ever survive a zombie uprising — marbled, lightly aged, zero frazzle.

  • The Zombies: Screeching, swarming, velociraptor-adjacent piles of undead chaos.

  • Philadelphia: Because if you’re going to start the apocalypse, start it somewhere already upset.

  • The Winnebago Escape: Steal a home-on-wheels and head to Newark, because why not make things worse?

  • The “12-Second Rule”: Jerry casually discovering the infection timer using a talking doll — peak investigator energy.

  • Israel: The only country with a wall tall enough to work… until singing ruins everything.

  • The Plane Scene: Zombies in coach (of course), duct-taped magazines as armor, and an in-flight grenade that somehow mostly works.

  • The WHO Finale: Brad Pitt injects himself with Mystery Illness #7, walks past a zombie like he’s returning a library book, and saves humanity with weaponized frailty.

Final Verdict:

Oz — Two Snaps in a Z Formation
Curtis — 79 Mystery Vials

Next week: We head to the MCU for Captain America: Civil War — where friendships end, teams form, and Tony Stark should’ve absolutely lawyered up earlier.
