Prepare your ears, humans. Happy, sad, confused, begins now.

Today on Happy, Sad, Confused, Zack Snyder, an army of the dead,

Batman and Superman, and Star Wars.

Hey guys, I'm Josh Harlow. It's welcome to another edition of Happy, Sad, Confused.

You guys know the podcast. You know I like to geek out with a filmmaker

and Zack Snyder definitely fits the bill of a filmmaker I can geek out with.

First time guests on the podcast, surprisingly, though I've talked to Zack many times

over the years, never in this extended format. So I am thrilled, thrilled, thrilled

that Zack Snyder, yes, agreed to chat for about 45 minutes with me about all

aspects of his career. This is for the Snyder heads out there. This is going to be

a conversation you are going to relish and enjoy. I guarantee it.

He has the new film, Army of the Dead, which is out on Netflix right now,

and it gives you all the Zack Snyderness you could possibly imagine.

And more, he, of course, made his film debut directing a zombie film,

The Great Dawn of the Dead, and he has returned to the genre with a much different kind of a take.

A very clever conceit about basically a walled-off vagus

where in a group of folks need to go in and extract some money before it's all

nuked to hell. Smart premise, very escape from New York,

it survives. We talk about that in fact, and it's led by the great Dave Batista,

and it's available for you right now on Netflix. But this conversation goes into a lot,

a lot of different areas that you're going to be very interested in.

Of course, there's all the superhero stuff, and we go into all of it.
