Episode 176: Pontypool

In what has to be one of our most unique films covered yet (certainly the one with the most unique name), we welcome back friend of the FoG Blake Collier to discuss your top ten favorite horror films of 2008 and a favorite horror film of his, director Bruce McDonald's PONTYPOOL. The Canadian horror gem turns the zombie outbreak film upside down, not only with the source of the zombie viral outbreak, but also with the way it is transmitted. What emerges is a fascinating and richly compelling examination of the power of words and their meanings, particularly when those words happen to be toxic. This is a conversation -- and a film -- you don't want to miss.
