Now that the dust has settled from Halloween, it’s time for the Eighth Edition of DEAD MAN STILL WALKING, where your intrepid host, Dr. Walking Dead Kyle Bishop, discusses Wyrmwood: Apocalypse (2022), sequel to “Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead” (2014), which Dr. Bishop previously reviewed here in Episode 025. Dr. Walking Dead discusses how this sequel serves as a follow-up to its predecessor. He also provides some clarification about a recurring actor who is NOT a recurring character. Kyle gets excited about this film’s “cyborg zombies,” and he also talks about the lesser-known, 7-minute short film, “Wyrmwood: Chronicles of the Dead (2017),” which occurs between the feature-length films, “Road of the Dead” and “Apocalypse.” As always, Dr. Bishop delivers a great review! Don’t miss it!
Notes: This episode includes some spoilers for both Wyrmwood films. And to view ALL of Dr. Bishop’s Dead Man Still Walking solocast episodes can USE THIS LINK.
