The mom guests in this episode.
Our plot summary is longer than the film's runtime.
Lots of digressions about mustaches, good parenting choices and scary old ladies with big hats.
An apology because I'm bad at querying databases in real time.

In our inaugural episode, Clayton and Laurie choose, watch and then discuss, Night of the Living Dead (1968), from George Romero.
Laurie has mixed feelings.
Clayton tries to explain 1968 a little.
Barbara is a weak character.
Ben is great.
Harry is the worst.
What constitutes a Romero zombie?
