In tonight's show we take a look at the 1980s not-a-zombie zombie movie, NIGHTMARE CITY, in which we discuss unintentional comedy, modern dance and blood-drinking atomic supermen.

Released in 1980, NIGHTMARE CITY is one of the many ''zombie'' movies released in the wake of George Romero's ''Dawn of the Dead'' and it's unofficial Italian prequel, ''Zombie'' AKA ''Zombi 2'' AKA ''Zombie Flesh Eaters'' but unlike those classics, the ''zombies'' here are fast, angry and intelligent!

So come with us now as we take a closer look at Umberto Lenzi's classic gorefest, where we'll not only discuss the movie itself but some other highlights from his career and learn more about how the movie came into being.
