Two ex-baseball players. One broken-down car. Zero plot armor.

In this episode, Jon, Ryan, and Kearns head deep into the woods (and deeper into the psyche) with The Battery (2012), a lo-fi zombie gem that trades jump scares for existential dread. Shot on a shoestring budget and fueled by sharp writing, raw performances, and a killer soundtrack, The Battery isn’t your average undead outing—it’s a slow-burning road movie about isolation, masculinity, and the weird intimacy of surviving the end of the world with someone you might not even like.

What happens when the apocalypse gets...quiet?

Expect: ⚾ Grimy zombie minimalism 🎸 Indie Americana & creeping dread 🧟‍♂️ The undead as background noise 🧠 Mental health in the ruins of society 🍊 A horror movie that dares to do nothing—until it absolutely doesn’t

Whether you're a longtime defender of DIY horror or a first-time viewer wondering what all the bleak fuss is about, The Battery offers a surprisingly tender, deeply unsettling twist on the zombie mythos—and Xenomania is here to crack it open.
