Geek and Sundry Brings On The "Zombie Spider"

In the 11th episode of Written By A Kid, Geek and Sundry presents "Zombie Spider".

"Aiden tells a very special spooky story of a giant zombie spider and a mohawked boy who's out to avenge the death of his brother. "

And here's the behind the scenes peek into the making of "Zombie Spider"

The Zombie PX

When the inevitable zombie apocalypse hits, the citizens of Palmyra, Pennsylvania will be more than ready, due in no small part to their new local store - the Zombie PX.  From camping gear to survival equipment to knives and "long term food" goods (and some fun zombie stuff too), they've got all you will need to make it on your own when the living dead rise up and walk the earth.  And, needless to say, business is good.

A. Zombie Is Running For President

AMC takes the fight against Dish into the political arena, launching a president campaign for A. Zombie whose platform is based on "equal viewing opportunities for all".

From the campaign's official press release:

The 2012 Presidential race is about to get more lively thanks to something quite dead – the news that A. Zombie, America’s first Zombie Presidential candidate, is entering the race.

A formidable third party contender for the nation’s highest office, A. Zombie is slated to announce his candidacy at a high-energy rally on Monday, August 20th at Westfield Horton Plaza in San Diego. The candidate and his human wife, Patty Morgan-Zombie, will then commence a cross-country bus tour that will take them to six major U.S. cities including Tampa and Charlotte, where they will bring their pro-zombie message to the Republican and Democratic Conventions.

“My husband is someone who has dedicated his life and his afterlife to bringing equal viewing opportunities to all Americans,” said Mrs. Zombie. He’s the right man to lead the fight to bring zombies to everyone in America, and he won’t stop -- even if it kills him, again.”

The A. Zombie for President Campaign is organized by AMC Networks, home to AMC, WE tv, IFC and Sundance Channel. Satellite company DISH dropped these networks earlier this year because of an unrelated lawsuit and is now in the disadvantaged position of being the nation’s only major television provider without these channels and their popular shows.

A one-issue candidate, A. Zombie’s mission is to rally zombie fans around the country who don’t have access to these networks and shows to find an alternative television provider before the highly-anticipated third season premiere on October 14, 2012 of A. Zombie’s favorite show, AMC’s The Walking Dead, the most watched basic cable scripted drama series among DISH subscribers, according to the Nielsen company.

At present, A. Zombie’s campaign juggernaut is slated to motor to: San Diego (August 20); Dallas (August 24); Tampa for the Republican Convention (August 26-27); Atlanta (September 1); Charlotte for the Democratic Convention (September 3 - 4) and New York City (September 5).

Playing Lollipop Chainsaw with James Gunn

In an NSFW feature, the Indoor Kids play Lollipop Chainsaw with James Gunn, one of the game's creators.

"Writer/Director James Gunn sits down with Kumail and Emily to play his bubblegum zombie slashing game LOLLIPOP CHAINSAW and talk all things movies and video games. Caution, this episode gets a little racy."

Bill Nye the Science Guy on Zombies

In an interview published today with Bill Nye the Science Guy, BetaBeat dared to ask the question on everyone's mind - "What do you make of this whole zombie apocalypse?"

“Apparently there are some drugs that can render you pretty useless,” Mr. Nye replied. “I joke all the time about how useless zombies are, though. Maybe they’re the antithesis of what’s cool now. What’s cool is to be quintuple-tasking at any time, moving fast, gettin’ ‘er done, and zombies–along with their slow movement–they seem indifferent to the world around them.”

“You don’t see a lot of zombies on Facebook,” he added.
