What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. At least that’s what we hope if there’s ever a zombie outbreak on the Vegas strip! That’s exactly what Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, starring Dave Bautista’s neck, is all about! We discuss how we wouldn’t survive a zombie apocalypse, a seamlessly edited-in Tig Notaro, and a white tiger with a bad case of ringworm. Sometimes the hand you’re dealt in life… gets bitten. Enjoy!
