    Join us on this gripping episode of Zombie Book Club as we unpack the powerful film "Blood Quantum" by Mi'kmaq filmmaker Jeff Barnaby. Hosts Dan and Leah, acknowledging their station on the lands of the Abenaki people and the Wabanaki Confederacy, delve into the film's premise: while the dead rise outside the Red Crow reserve, the Indigenous inhabitants are mysteriously immune. This episode isn't just a movie review—it's a journey through history, culture, and the crucial social commentary embedded in Barnaby's work, all while recognizing our hosts' commitment to authenticity and respect.

    Step back in time with us as we contrast our childhood education about Native American history with the harsh realities we've come to learn.

We introduce key characters like Trayler, Joseph, Joss, Lysol, and Charlie, and unravel their intricate relationships amidst a zombie apocalypse. This episode isn't just informative; it's a heartfelt invitation for listeners to join our ongoing learning journey and contribute with their knowledge and recommendations.

    From the concept of blood quantum and its oppressive eugenic roots to the profound emotional depth of "Blood Quantum," we dissect the themes that make this film a must-watch. We explore the significance of authentic representation in media, the intergenerational trauma faced by Indigenous peoples, and the transformative impact of indigenous storytelling. Tune in to hear about the film's compelling creative elements, including its influential social commentary, and why it's especially relevant in today's context. Don't miss out on this riveting discussion that underscores the need for more genuine Indigenous voices in storytelling, making it essential for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences alike.

    Join us as we dive into the Amazon Prime series "Fallout". We delve into the ethical dilemmas, societal changes, and rich lore of the "Fallout" universe and navigate the experimental vaults, retro-futuristic corporations, and the striking parallels between "Fallout's" world and our own.

    In this episode, we journey through the Brotherhood of Steel's technocentric quests, explore gray morality, and ponder the future of beauty standards if ghoulification became common. We also examine intricate societies within the series, including the Brotherhood's fascination with mundane technology and the potential for cyborg-based groups in future seasons.

    Laugh along as we recount entertaining scenes, such as a Brotherhood member's naive misunderstanding about male arousal, and delve into deeper themes of military indoctrination, corporate morality, and privilege. We critique potential plot inconsistencies and retcons, reflecting on our own experiences and societal narratives.
