Prepare for an undead adventure as we dive into the chaotic world of Italian zombie cinema in this week's episode of the Found on Shelf podcast. Join hosts Patrick and Dustin as they navigate the bizarre and convoluted history of the "Zombie" film series, specifically focusing on the infamous "Zombi 3" and "Zombie 4: After Death." These films, known for their unconventional production methods and tangled lineage, offer a unique viewing experience that blurs the lines between horror, absurdity, and unintentional comedy.

"Zombi 3," a film shrouded in mystery regarding its true director, combines the creative visions of Lucio Fulci, Bruno Mattei, and Claudio Fragasso, resulting in a cinematic Frankenstein's monster of sorts. The episode unravels the film's chaotic production, highlighting its inconsistent zombie lore, questionable soundtrack, and the curious decision to feature talking and fast-moving zombies. Meanwhile, "Zombie 4: After Death" takes a different approach, incorporating voodoo curses and demonic elements, further complicating the series' already tangled narrative web.
