a mother trying to protect the family dog and her son in the grip of a violent hallucinogenic rage.
By the time it was over, she was dead, and he claimed LSD made him do it.

More on them very soon.
Without further ado, let's dive into some zombies.
And three, two, one, getting it.
All right.
Well, we just watched Marvel zombies in its entire.
The entirety front to back beginning to end.
Before we get into it, I want to thank Prepper because this was an R-rated TVMA show.
And I'm sure there's going to be some chop suey in, so thank you very much.
And as always, if you guys want to watch it in its entirety, beginning to end in all of its TVMA glory, head over to Patreon.
Before I give my thoughts, I want to kick it off with Aaron, because I think, you know, Greg and I are the only two that have probably read Marvel zombies amongst us.
So I'd love to know your unadulterated thoughts.
It didn't adapt to two directly.
But what did you think, man?
I thought it was great.
I thought it was a really good time.
They did a really awesome job by taking something that we know and flipping it on its head by allowing it to take risks.
I thought this was the first thing with True Vision in the MCU as far as the TV department goes and the animation department goes that utilizes the things that we know have been setting up different things or like been different pieces, but finding a way to make those pieces all important into one.
story, even though they're not necessarily
cohesive in the larger
MCU. I thought the way that all these
characters interacted was really interesting.
And I love the way
that they were able to make
this animation style that wasn't really
particularly loved by a ton
of people, at least as far as Marvel animation goes,
and do something cool and innovative with it,
and really commit to the Marvel
Zombies concept.
Yeah, I thought all of our cast of characters
were really endearing, and
I thought the way that the story unfolded,
did was not only believable, but also really sad. He really bought the stakes in which these
characters were going through. And Amman Volani, you know, for not having a ton of acting
experience in Hollywood, did really an amazing job being the voice, heart, and lead of this
whole Marvel zombie show and shows that, yeah, she's someone who really deserves more attention
and love, not only in the MCU, but just in Hollywood in general. But all of them did really
great. It made me excited
for the potential blade whenever that
comes because he was really awesome in this
and Shang
Chi and Ironheart
and all these phase
in five, six characters that have
kind of gotten the shorter end of the stick
because of just how
the Chepec era of Marvel has kind of
been run and giving them a time to
shine in the face of all
these other Marvel characters in the previous
what if version of Marvel zombies
they all got taken out. So yeah, I
I really enjoyed it.
This is probably the best thing that this iteration of the animation has done,
including the other three seasons of what if.
And I am sad that this is released all in one day because this definitely deserves more attention than a quick blip of, you know, the fans that are still left that are tuning in for the consistent Marvel output.
But yeah, overall, this was really, really strong.
I loved it.
I have a lot to say, but first, Greg.
Sure you don't want to go first?
yes i'll go first kind of no please heal recover take take a beat uh all right so i have been
fairly critical of uh the marvel animated stuff i don't tend to connect with it as much as i
connect to the actors they've cast even though it's the same voice actors portraying i just don't
find the animation generally as as much the way i i see marvel uh my two big exceptions are
x-man 97 and your friendly neighborhood spider man both of which i consider top tier marvel stuff
this joins them uh to me this is
it's tricky because both x-men and friendly neighborhood spider-man kind of
intentionally leave behind the mccu x-men adapts the 90s comic i mean the 90s animation
and then your friendly neighbor at spider-man does like kind of what what if i wanted to do which
is tell an incredible story as if you subvert a few things your friendly neighborhood spider-man
needs the mc u to exist to kind of spin off from with certain things like norman osborne
born and tony stark and all those elements but overall it is also like x-men its own thing this is to me
the first marvel animation studio thing that captures the specialness of the mc u i have grown
critical of homework and uh certain elements of setting up post-credit scenes and easter eggs and
all those things when they become kind of just tick-tock fodder uh when you've got things set up
that don't feel like the payoff is worth it or that you feel like they don't know what the payoff
going to be. There's so many characters just standing up and rising and post-credit scenes that don't feel like they had the next plan or because of circumstances like the pandemic or the register strike or these things didn't get their payoff. There's a blend of a lot of things that have happened. But in my opinion, Marvel is still batting like 700. They're still doing much better than one to one. A lot of people have lost faith in the greater MCU. I am not amongst them. I just have a little bit more of a we'll see how that next thing goes as opposed to blind. Like it's going to be great because there had been some things that I haven't worked out. This
is why Avengers works.
This is why a shared universe works.
This is why it is good to do such a cohesive universe when you can,
because this grows on the arcs of characters at various points in the arcs we've seen in the MCU.
This introduces new ideas.
And Blade, we didn't get to see yet.
We get introduced here.
And it's strong enough on its own.
We didn't get the Blade movie that was supposed to happen in order to make this even cooler.
This builds on our trust of the phase five and six characters.
All of that is what Marvel.
does uniquely best when they're firing in all cylinders this to me is what marvel animation
it's a payoff in the hope of what i had for marvel animation what was announced this is
incredible i i thought this was so well written so well crafted it was also a thing that could
only really exist in animation um you know animation as a medium can do things live action can't
and a lot of times i'm like why didn't they just uh put that in one of the movies this wasn't that
this was so uniquely animated and so powerful i adored this uh it should have been our entire
spooky season. This should have been coming out
four weeks in October leading up to
Halloween. I honestly don't understand
why they didn't do that. What else is coming
out that is somehow more important than a Marvel zombie
thing? This was fantastic.
I really love this. This was like an AA minus
for me. This was so good.
All right. That's high praise. This is up there for me.
Yeah,
this was pretty cool to come off of
the, from watching that
what if episode, which I did
find to be a bit of a letdown
in terms of being like a horror thing and I'm a pretty big horror fan and I love the zombie
genre I've seen like all of the walking instead of all the I haven't seen all the fear of the
walking dead episodes but I've seen pretty much all the walking dead including the other spin-offs
and so I love the zombie genre and I thought this did a good blend of actually embodying that
and transitioning from science fiction to supernatural and it's I've always been kind of drawn to that
in the idea of how do you do zombies that feel from like they don't use the concept of hell
but they embody the darkness of the supernatural to tell their narrative this time versus
sci-fi which is usually what zombie tropes do so to use that with being reflective of our
characters who embody more of the supernatural element was pretty sweet admittedly i wasn't as
like high of a note as you guys were after episode one like you guys seemed like very high i was more
like yeah there's some really cool visuals here it seems better than we lost a lot it seems better
than uh what what if was doing but i still wasn't like emotionally connecting with the characters
and i found by episode two i was more in tune with it i thought actually as each episode went along
i was more enveloped in the emotionality of what everyone was experiencing that being said
I still never quite
reached the heights of the
Doctor Strange episode of what if
granted that's one singular episode
episode four of what if
and I remember like that one to me
is the highest tier
of any of the Marvel animation to
me of telling like a perfect
short story a perfect
one-off story that I was
truly like
emotionally swept up in
and I don't know
there's something about the idea of
I bought more into it as it as it went along
and I thought this was like extremely fun
and really cool
and I am
have a really big stomach upset right now
so the stomach nodding was
it's kind of interfered with some of my
emotional ability to receive
at times
but yeah I mean I still think that like
they did an excellent job of telling this one narrative
if you cut off the credits you could just like
if you literally drop it into
the i movie yeah and you just cut off the credits you have one story here uh tofer grace this ish
put in theaters no you really can like there you probably just throw on like a fade or something
like that a little smash to black for a little time it it just it is one it is a movie and i thought
they did a really good job of telling a movie and what was cool was to remove the narrative of
uh the watcher you know like these what if stories each one has the watcher in there and
as like the voiceover for it and then you do as i actually thought removing the watcher completely
really helped because it just lets you it doesn't keep reminding you that you're watching
a multiversal story see the first episode i was still so aware that i was watching a multiversal
story whereas but as it kept going i kept buying into the actual world they're doing and
that's really a big part of what i loved about it was they established the world it's not just
hey remember the Avengers now it's zombies they you know they have like the the a different kind of new Asgard they have the the raft world with the the type of cult like leadership that Zemo has formed um and what else do they like other parts of the I mean they dealt with Namor in the in the Atlanteans along with the raft they did um like the Midwest with the Mad Max stuff they did like this this cover the cosmic with Nova.
this really
They did a really good job with it
And it felt like a comic book run
In the most complimentary ways
Like it's not the first time I've said that
You know I think X-Wing 97 really feels like a comic book
Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man really feels like a comic book
But this felt specifically like
Going through an event comic book
You mentioned old man Logan and that serialized nature
Not just beyond the visuals of the Mad Max
But like that feel I agree
Because old man Logan's always like
Hey what would happen with Hulk?
here what would happen with like hawkeye like it throws you into that world's environment yeah
i like the bleakness a lot i think the bleakness is really cool like just killing off everyone
like that and letting and i thought the the weight emotional weight kept getting heavier as it kept
going and the physical weight that's the other thing too with a lot of these marvel animation stuff
is you're so aware of what you're watching and like yeah it looks pretty but you don't really feel
anything but at the time you get to the fight scenes with you know like especially with like Hulk
at the very end.
I really feel that.
And the animation
was reminding me
a lot of the Doctor Strange episode,
which kind of felt
like that classic Disney hand-drawn,
but there's not a little more violence and gore.
And I really respect the show
for actually telling a really good narrative
with composed cinematography
to let there be a motion behind the camera movement
and the symmetry versus just letting it be,
hey, we're violent, isn't that cool?
Yeah, should we get brownie points
for being gory.
The brownie points actually were when the moment would pay off.
Yeah, exactly, because it didn't just solely rely on it being violent.
There would be plenty of times where there's no action going on for kind of a long stretch.
So then when there was violence, there was a tone to it that you felt.
Yeah, I think the one thing that wasn't quite working for me in this was like some of the humor.
I didn't really find the humor like that funny.
It was kind of annoying to me at times, but there wasn't really dependent on humor.
there were there were like three i mean there's probably like 40 jokes there were four or five that
i was like oh that actively didn't land luckily there was an an awesome beat next but like there
were there were like four or five dad jokes that weren't like fun dad jokes they were just like
oh but uh i i noticed the same ones you did you probably just had more that were like medium
level bad whereas i was just like eh that one didn't work next yeah i don't disagree
there's something in the marvel at especially in the what if world when they do the humor that's like
kind of a weirdly like distancing i did like the alexie bucky episode and what if we
both did yeah yeah that was funny that was a genuinely funny one but a lot of times i'm like this
this oddly it's like it felt strange the humor that they would include just as opposed with how
dark it was and like doesn't really seem like we need jokes here yeah some of them worked
but a lot of them were like yeah i don't that we don't really need to be funny in this moment i think
thunderbolts really showed how good dark bleak humor can work if you reserve it for moments i think
like Red Guardian and Thunderbolts is a great
example or like that movie
has moments of humor but it doesn't
it doesn't Joss Whedon wrong
like Joss Whedon throws lots
of jokes in Ultron and I was like
very distracted. This didn't hit that
but I think Thunderbolts is a great example of how
to throw in humor while bleak and I'm really curious
what Jake Shrier does with X-Men accordingly because
of his balance of tone
but I think this is a great
example of what Marvel animation can and
should do with you have so many
breadcrums focus on which low
of bread you want to make out of them.
Yeah.
No.
Oh yeah, rejuction.
It's time for me to tell you that if you're still overpaying for wireless, it's time to say yes
to saying no, I've joined this family.
No contracts, no overages, no hidden fees, no BS.
That's why I have finally converted to the thing I kept hearing about.
The Mint Mobile.
Today's video sponsor.
With Mint to get premium wireless starting at just $15 a month.
And it runs in the nation's largest 5G network.
I kept my same phones, same numbers, same contacts, and I just started saving money.
The service, honestly, they're pretty great.
I sometimes travel.
I worked long days here.
Oftentimes, I've to shoot content on the go, and I've never felt like I downgraded.
If you're like me and you're tired of jaw-dropping wireless bills, maybe it's time to make the switch like I did, like we all have.
So if you're ready to say yes to saying no, make the switch to mintmobile.com slash rejects.
That's mintmobile.com slash rejects.

Oh, and I should probably say this because we're dealing with the financial stuff.
Offron payment of $45 required equivalence of $15 a month, limited time.
New customer offer for first three months only.
Speed may slow about 35 gigabyte on unlimited plan, taxes, and fee extra.
See, MinnMobile for more details.
Thanks, Minmobile for finally reeling me in and helping me save.
I thought it was a great adventure.
I really loved this.
I thought it was a really solid adventure.
I still am of the camp, though, of like, when it came to like Iron Heart and Lady Hawk,
I was like I don't really like I like I'm not like them individually a lot but I'm not like connected to this dynamic so when they're killing them off and so much of the motivation is about that but there was so much other emotion and other aspects that that kept sweeping me up and like I was I was engrossed I don't want that to go like you know overlooked I was truly engrossed throughout all this.
And I was pretty impressive
Some of really sweet fucking action too
I was higher I was way higher in this than I expected
I when we got like you know the
The schedule I was like oh yeah
Marvel homies and I and I markedly thought like
I remember when every Marvel thing
felt like the biggest event of the year and this was an example
It being like I'm excited to watch it
But I'm not like thinking about it all week
And then about 20 minutes in I was like
I think I think I like
This more than Fantastic Four
And that was a crazy feeling
Like I honestly would put like
The more I think about it, Thunderbolts and this, probably above Fantastic 4, which are both above Cap 4.
And if you'd ask me last year where I'd put Marvel Zombies, I would not think it would be dancing between like, you know, two and three.
I'd be like, well, I'll watch it.
So.
Are you sure it's not just you're impressed by it?
I think expectations were low and it was so much higher.
I want to give it time.
I don't want to be like, I saw this six minutes ago.
So it's better than Fantastic 4.
I saw a month ago.
But in this moment, I felt more engrossed.
I think the second act of Fantastic Four is the greatest second act the MCU's ever had.
But in this moment, I'm so, like, gobsmacked by how much this caught me.
Because I'm not even as big of a zombie guy as you or as big as an animation guy as you.
And this whole thing, I was like, gah!
Yeah.
So, Greg, was someone who just watched the episode of the Marvel Zombies?
What If?
Were you, like, surprised or disappointed by the fact that it didn't really follow Spider-Man and Ant-Man that much?
Because it kind of leaves off with them.
And we kind of subvert and they're barely in this thing.
no i thought it was great i think it's a smart choice i thought it was a really smart choice to do that
because i think it could have felt hindered by that and that tone is not what this is and they had
and by the time they get to episode three where when they go to the wakonda fight against danos they
have an opportunity to honor to chala and rewrite the vibe of when you're with them uh in a way
that that once that was like kind of goofy
and this that then they allowed to go back into that and have it feel like really serious and moving you know
uh yeah there's there's a lot that i i really loved like a lot there was a lot of things i didn't
expect to like even get out of it and like wow it's really surprised me and how well orchestrated
all this is the same way your friendly neighborhood spider man surprised me and how well orchestrated
this is uh but now i would definitely i would still put this like number if we're going to
If we're going to put those there, this would definitely be number three to me out of those three, just because of all the reasons.
So you liked it more than Cap.
Yeah, it was way more than Cap in America.
It was cool to get.
I wish we got a little bit more of like, I imagine they reserve.
I wish we got a little bit more blade, get to know him a bit more.
But it was a lot like him.
Yeah.
It sounded a lot like him.
But it was cool to actually get him.
Like it makes you just kind of not the fact that they still haven't gotten him when he.
cool here as moon night because he's practically
just fucking blade he's not he's just
wearing a couple times he goes moon night stuff he's like
he's got like a moon night costume
but they're like we didn't catch you
yeah but he's not he's just blade
you know I'm really curious
you know at the end of the year we've got Wonder Man left
looking back at
you know we had a lot of Marvel properties this year
like looking through our experience like
I enjoyed eyes of Wakanda but not as much as
I had hoped at the time and I know you really got a lot
out of it I liked Ironheart I remember
a little bit more than you did but looking at this
year a lot of a different just reaction from an audience perspective like this was you know uh not a year
where iron heart broke box office records on tv or whatever they call a nielsen record um i'm really
curious how people react to this because i do think hopefully it's so good and people are such
like spooky season people i hope this kind of breaks out even though it has the all in one day release
yeah i think it's better than all the what if seasons for sure oh you come like the what if episode
of strange is like my favorite but in terms of seasons
It's like this is like a kind of a large margin, way better, you know.
This is in my upper half of Marvel, like all of it.
I wouldn't have expected that.
All right.
Like there's like 40 Marvel properties.
If this would be in the top 20, I don't know where.
It's not in the top 10.
Yeah.
Like it's in the top half for me.
I like Nemor a lot.
I fucking love Wanda in it, you know.
I like how she evolved from just being a zombie, you know?
Yeah.
And that reality, I love how she wins in the end.
I think this is probably on par with Fantastic Four for me.
I do need to assess, but I, like, the things I loved about Fantastic Four, this did well,
but this did things that I think I haven't seen the MCU do as well since phase three.
Like the Easter egg stuff, the, the cohesion, the comic book feel.
It did bring that back.
Yeah, because Fantastic Four strength was not doing that.
Yeah, no.
This strength was doing that.
It did bring back the, oh, I'm paying attention to timeline.
I pay attention to, like, oh, this little Easter egg here, I'm paying attention to, you know, like, even when Thor and Hulk are fighting.
in terms of like action too i think this is easily some of the best animated action and perhaps action
in all of marvel yeah definitely yeah the action was like because there's such a variety
yeah and the and the tracking shots we all loved and then the fight styles are different depending on
the setting and who they're fighting yeah and then even with like spider man especially miss marvel
the the way they i mean this also proves that she really could be a lead and with miss marvel in
particular, even with Ironheart actually, they do like quadruple the amount of powers they do in
the live action, which is like, yes, you should. You're animated. So freaking go all out.
The Captain Marvel fight. I was like, oh, look, Captain Marvel's here finally. Yeah.
And like, did the comic accurate, like, suit more off and like, man, I love this.
I mean, even made them more like wings look into that. Yeah. He fought all of them with his little
flutter. I think two and four are my favorite episodes. Although the moments,
with Thor and the new Asgard was really cool.
I love that. I kept saying
it's like a Negan maneuver. I think there's an actual
story in Walking Down where Negan does that
where he feeds people like
zombie flesh and they don't know it.
So messed up. Yeah, I thought
that was a good twist. Yeah. I love existential
Hulk. I love like God. That was
beautiful. That was beautiful.
And the fight that came out of it and then like
the plausible deniability of like, yeah, he did
hold the gauntlet. Yeah, this could. Like that's so
good writing. I guess what I was saying about the emotional
connection is that I felt like
I was so emotionally connected
to everything outside of when
people are having dialogue scenes.
That was kind of my main thing. Oh, I felt very
connected to the dialogue. I was like...
I was like, awesome. Yeah, that's what I mean.
I could tell you guys were, and I was sort of like
halfway connected. I wasn't
like fully... I was more wrapped
up in the other emotional stuff.
Like the etherealness of just watching
Hulk looking on and everything, you know,
like that stuff. But I guess
like, you know, Amon Valani is always
great. I think I've said it for the longest time.
She is one of the most underrated, perfect casting
as Marvel has ever done.
But yeah, like her talking with Chong Chi and stuff
or her talking with Red Guardian.
I'm like, I like this.
I'm not like enveloped in it.
But I like it, you know.
Maybe I and Aaron are like the meme of getting forward.
I really, really enjoyed it.
And I feel like, I don't know,
I don't know, maybe it's the type of story it is
or maybe the volume of stories.
But like, I was more like sad on the surface level
when certain characters died.
I wasn't like emotionally distraught.
Maybe because it's an alternate universe
or maybe because like just the volume and it's so quick but i still really enjoyed it like if i'm
thinking back i probably would put this in my top three of like the animated shows i think there's six
uh marvel animation series out right now like what there's spider man there's um there's three
there's three seasons of what if there's wanda spider yeah spider man and x-men so like five
yeah there's definitely number three for me yeah i would say this is number three and then what if
and iz wakonda are probably like interchangeable at the bottom there and i think it's better
than some of the live action.
Oh, for me, this is about a lot of live action.
Also, that tracking shot
in episode two in Don Z day
was incredible. I mean, I even
loved the one. Even though episode one,
I wasn't like super over the moon about
I liked it, but I wasn't like in love with it.
But that one shot when, when freaking Miss
Marvel's like running away
and then all that actions happening
behind her and the way they're doing the zoom ins
and the whip pants but still tracking on her
it looks straight up like at a video game
level where you have to run away. And I thought that was
a beautiful they had a lot of great shots in here i also want to give credit to the fact that this is
you know an animated show marvel property that uses the what if concept so well that i didn't know
was going to happen next yeah like a lot of you know marvel live action or animation i'm always like
well that's kind of the you know you expect it in like and this kept me guessing i mean when we
watched what if season three which we we really didn't like i love what if season i put what if season
two is the number four of the animated um but the uh what of season three was really hard for us
And we kept saying, like, each one of these needs to be, like, three to four episodes in order to hit.
And this is a great example of, like, yeah, if you're able to make it three to four episodes and actually do something distinct with it, you can get something really special out of the what if concept instead of convincing your audience that the what if concept is mediocre.
And, you know, I never while watching what if thought, man, I wish I saw this in theaters.
Every five, ten minutes of this, I was like, man, I wish this was like a Dragon Ball Z movie.
where I wait and see it in theaters.
Because I go see like DBZ movies in theaters.
This is something I would love to see on the big screen.
There was so much of What If Season 2 I loved.
I liked What If Season 2, but it was in comparison to what if season one.
And this, I think, had a similar benefit of me being not.
Like you asked me if I was just expectation.
This certainly exceeded enough that I was like, man, I wish I hadn't seen this.
We guys also were restructuring it in your brain to see how it would fit as a movie.
Oh, yeah.
I wouldn't even change anything order.
I would just, like he said, just add a hard to black and the next scene.
I think it's like an hour and 45.
you only need like maybe one or two extra scenes to make a transition i feel like i'd put the the spider-man
wakonda and the shang chi stuff up top and then everything that's post five years would be like
i'll see then they'd give away the suspense of where they are yeah that undercuts the whole like
what happened when we met them before i think you would have to i mean what's cool is that you don't
really need to i mean i was able to pick up on ship like when they're in san francisco and the outbreaks
happen like oh that makes sense because that outbreak same was so good because yeah and the what
if episode they established that Hank Pym goes to see Janet and Janet's ready turns so that's how
the virus came out with the quantum row and started with Janet um so I was like oh this makes
sense to actually go here and to tie in with Sean Chi was like oh that's really smart um but
what was cool is I don't feel like even if I wasn't here to like kind of say little things like
that like it doesn't really matter I think you you could actually just watch start this
but then I don't know episode three is less impactful when they go to that stuff with
Thanos if you haven't seen the what if episode I think yeah 100% that's the one thing it's like
I think you need a kind of redo episode I would incorporate some of the what if episode into this
if I was making it a movie yeah but that what if episode is way weaker than yeah yeah yeah and I thought
it was just going to follow that but be violent um but now it's and I kind of wonder when they allowed
them to be violent you know I was like did they let them like go back and actually like
animate some violence in her because whenever when it went violent the way the gore was done
looked differently drawn they're like wait it's all right now yeah there's like a flourish to it
like it looked really pretty yeah like the one with the from valcary what goes through the giant
and it just explodes i was like why does this look beautiful yeah it was like a jocky hand drawn
yeah that's my point it looked like beautiful anyway yeah i'm i think it's all my thoughts
pain. Let's let Greg
go to urgent care. Let's let Greg
lay down for a while. All right,
well, that is going to do it for our thoughts on
thoughts on Marvel zombies.
I loved it. I would love to know

northern Wisconsin. It's so small that it's easy to miss on a map, just scattered homes, gravel
roads and dense silent forest. It's a place where people choose for the quiet, the isolation
in the distance, a place where life moves at a very slow pace and secrets can stay hidden for a long time.
On the morning of Sunday, the 8th of March 2015, the stillness of Peel was interrupted.
At the Oneida County Emergency Dispatch Centre, the phone began to ring. Before the operator
could answer, the caller hung up. It happened again and then again. Three calls, all from the same
number. Then came a fourth call. And then finally, there was a voice. It was a little girl.
And she grabbed the knife that was on the shelf and she came after me with it. Listen to this episode
