There are very few films - indeed, very few works of art in the 20th century - which can claim to be as influencial as George A. Romero's debut 1968 film, Night of the Living Dead. It's the film that launched careers, invented a new subgenre of horror, and ultimately inspired generations of creators to draw and expand on the film that started it all.

In this episode, we trace the history of this epochal work of art, discuss its merits as a film over 50 years after its initial release, and pass final judgement on one of the most influential films of all time. Does Night of the Living Dead hold up as an original piece of art, regardless of its influence on pop culture and the horror genre, or have the ideas and concepts which it progenerated outgrown their ultimate source?
