Why Do We Love Zombies?
Here's an idea: a PBS show that examines the connections between pop culture, technology, and art.
Why Do We Love Zombies?
Season 2013 Episode 17 | 7m 32s
Zombies are EVERYWHERE!! Wait, don't panic- we mean in pop culture, not outside your window. But why is that? Bad guys and monsters seem to go through phases: one decade there's a dozen movies about aliens, ten years later it's vampires. And right now, it's zombies. There must be something that makes us fixate on one antagonist trope. So what are we afraid of now? It might just be technology.
