Summary

In this bonus episode we're thrilled to be talking with Greg Nicotero, one of the main creative forces behind The Walking Dead, not to mention a legend in makeup and special effects going back decades. We spoke with him about how he and his team dreams up new zombies, whether he ever gets disturbed by the gore, the possibility of Walking Dead on the big screen, his relationship with zombie progenitor George Romero, what it was like working on the set of Evil Dead II (one of our favorites), and much more. Hope you enjoy, and join us in a few days for our regularly scheduled podcast! In the meantime, if you'd like to give us a call, you can call us at (650) 485-DEAD, or you can email us or send an audio file [email protected].
