The Wire

Listeners may be aware that the Cannes International Film Festival this week was wowed by a zombie movie that cost 45 english pounds to produce. The zombie genre seems endearingly popular, not just in movies but popular culture. A quick search on the internet tells us that over just this weekend there are zombie parades being held in Hollywood and Seattle while in Dakota they are having a zombie prom! Meanwhile, at the University of Queensland, Brisbane a new political party has joined the race for the student union on a zombie protectionist platform. They’re called the Z-Day alliance and The Wire risked life and limb to find out more.
