Hope is both a lifeline and a burden in a world teetering on collapse. In this episode, we explore the harsh realities of grief and the fragile but powerful thread of hope that binds us to our humanity. From personal reflections on the 2024 Presidential election and the disillusionment of military service to the resilience found in nature and community, we delve into the emotional landscape of survival. Leah takes a hilariously unconventional approach to handling the weight of it all, promising to get progressively higher throughout the episode, adding levity to an otherwise heavy conversation.
Join us as we tackle everything from sustainable living and mushroom farming to the chaos of political upheaval and absurdly bad movie nights. With humor, existential rants, and a dash of plant medicine, we balance the grim realities of the apocalypse with laughter and connection. Come for the hope, stay for the Ravens.

Join us on this gripping episode of Zombie Book Club as we unpack the powerful film "Blood Quantum" by Mi'kmaq filmmaker Jeff Barnaby. Hosts Dan and Leah, acknowledging their station on the lands of the Abenaki people and the Wabanaki Confederacy, delve into the film's premise: while the dead rise outside the Red Crow reserve, the Indigenous inhabitants are mysteriously immune. This episode isn't just a movie review—it's a journey through history, culture, and the crucial social commentary embedded in Barnaby's work, all while recognizing our hosts' commitment to authenticity and respect.
Step back in time with us as we contrast our childhood education about Native American history with the harsh realities we've come to learn. We share personal stories and discuss the impact of colonialism, the 1981 conflict over fishing rights, and the complex dynamics depicted in the film. We introduce key characters like Trayler, Joseph, Joss, Lysol, and Charlie, and unravel their intricate relationships amidst a zombie apocalypse. This episode isn't just informative; it's a heartfelt invitation for listeners to join our ongoing learning journey and contribute with their knowledge and recommendations.
From the concept of blood quantum and its oppressive eugenic roots to the profound emotional depth of "Blood Quantum," we dissect the themes that make this film a must-watch. We explore the significance of authentic representation in media, the intergenerational trauma faced by Indigenous peoples, and the transformative impact of indigenous storytelling. Tune in to hear about the film's compelling creative elements, including its influential social commentary, and why it's especially relevant in today's context. Don't miss out on this riveting discussion that underscores the need for more genuine Indigenous voices in storytelling, making it essential for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences alike.

Join us as we explore the bleak world of "Black Summer," the Netflix sensation born from the creators of Z Nation. We'll introduce you to the show's key characters—Rose, Spears, Sun, and Anna—whose unpredictable fates and resilience will keep you glued to the screen. Brace yourself for the relentless pace of its fast-moving zombies, which add a gritty edge to the survival narrative and a deeper conversation about how trauma responses—fawning, flight, fight, and freeze—play out in extreme scenarios. Drawing from real-life experiences and therapeutic insights, we analyze the behaviors of "Black Summer" characters and discuss the complexities of trust and vulnerability in life-or-death situations.
Whether you're a horror aficionado, a fan of dark humor, or just love a good survival story, this episode promises to be a banger.
