Jakob and Mandi go to the Toronto Zombie Walk 2009 and then watch Dead Snow, Zombieland and I Am Legend to try to understand just why people like zombies so damn much. Not really a halloween episode so much as a return to the ever-popular zombie topic?

    Considering the work it’s based on, I have a hard time lumping I Am Legend in with zombie films, since the infected are supposed to be vampires – and intelligent – instead of mindless drones. I don’t mind the movie as its own thing, but the title is almost all it has in common with the book.

    I would say in the film they were more zombie than vampire—more mindless drones than intelligent. Even in their intelligence, they’re too driven by their hungers to be considered rational beings. It was an intriguing combination. Too bad about the CGI.
