Welcome to Open Mic Night of the Living Dead’s first special encore episode, where cohosts John and Rachel showcase a different kind of episode than one of their usual deep dives - one that dives shallowly into the movies they've been catching outside their main releases, explores unexpected genre gems, and gives you an exclusive listen to their latest musical creation.

This week, Rachel and John reflect on the films they watched together in January 2024. Films run the gamut, from the unsettling artistry of "Black Swan," to black comedies like "Get Away," to (quite a few) 80s cult classics (like "Critters," "Terror Train," and "Death Race 2000.")

Plus, as a treat for listeners, stick around for the premiere of the polished demo version of "The Ballad of Jack Deth," Rachel’s original song inspired by the cult classic "Trancers," complete with John’s top-notch production work.

So grab your favorite horror flick snacks, set your expectations low, and enjoy this tour through a few genre curiosities, horror favorites, and music inspired by classic horror cinema.
