Death by 8000 tiny cuts. This week David and Melissa review dueling Fyre Festival documentaries on Netflix and Hulu, about the ill fated 2017 event. They go over the cause and effects of unchecked capitalism and social media, and how that created this particular monster. They talk about FuckJerry and the responsibility (and irresponsibility) of each party that associated with different aspects of Fyre Festival. Melissa discusses firsthand experience of being part of music festival planning and how anyone in the know would have realized this was a scam and undoable from the outside. Legal Disclaimer: The contents and opinions of this episode cannot be used against David and Melissa in their inevitable Meat Machines On Caffeine fan festival in the future.
Meat Machines on Caffeine - Episode One - Zombie Off - David and Melissa review the zombie genre and what makes it so American, and why foreign filmmakers have been doing it better. They then review Zach Snyder's Army of The Dead and Dawn of The Dead, (spoiler alert - they like one and hate one), and review a movie he definitely did not rip off, in Train to Busan. They may devour some flesh but we promise this episode is only a little messy...
