Singing for the Holidays with ‘Anna and the Apocalypse’! [Horror Queers Podcast]

Rom Com Zom Musical

After dealing with cryptids in The Mothman Prophecies, giallos in Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key and killer baby mamas in Inside (2007), we’re closing out our film coverage for the year with a holiday classic.

Director John McPhail‘s Anna and the Apocalypse finds a group of disaffected teens struggling with the usual holiday-related concerns (absent family, desire to escape, unrequited love for your best friend) but throws in the complication of a zombie apocalypse.

Oh and it’s a musical!

Come celebrate the holiday as we unpack all of the songs, the choreography and why Mr. Savage sucks.

Episode 261 – Anna and the Apocalypse (2017)

We’re tired of pretending that there’s no such thing as a Rom Com Zom Musical!

The time has finally come to discuss John McPhail’s Anna and the Apocalypse (2017), which has charming Scottish actors, a Canadian choreographer, and three (?!) different versions.

Plus: Joe’s issue with villainous Mr. Savage, our fave songs, the sad Ryan Gosling connection, nearly good queer representation, and why we need more horror movie musicals pleeeeease
