This week, Dave, Neil, and Joanna finish their Trial Royale for the best zombie movie ever! They start by revealing the winners from the best slow-zombie movies poll before giving out their “Georgie Romeros: Awards for the Living Dead” from the eight films in the Trial Royale bracket (1:35). Next, they read some listener emails highlighting a handful of zombie flicks that just missed the bracket, as well as their own toughest cuts (54:20). Finally, they briefly discuss the final four remaining zombie films (67:55).

Now it’s up to you to decide! What is the best zombie movie ever? You can vote for the winner at TheRinger.com, on The Ringer’s Twitter feed, and in the Spotify app, where you’ll find Trial by Content. The winner will be announced on the next episode!
