041 – “Zomboos”

The Dust Off

“Day of the Dead” (1985) Romero zombie romp. The guys are joined by New Brunswick playwright/actor/cool dude Ryan “Griff” Griffith this week. From their respective limestone mines, the four pay tribute to the late horror icon and Toronto native, George A. Romero — and, boy howdy, do they go deep! Enjoy much philosophical waxing on Romero’s cult classic, all while picking Ryan’s delicious, juicy brains about his new play: “Fortune of Wolves” (on stage October 12-27th)!
