Scotto and Uncle John discuss a science fiction comedy that was originally intended to be a thriller. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 2001, it's Evolution. Was the scene in South Park a deliberate reference? Should David Duchovnyhave taken the role in Epiode II? Why does Dan Aykroyd keep playing southerners? What is the Night Court reference that we use in every episode?

Next week ... Chasing Amy
Scotto and Uncle John make a last minute substitution and conclude their latest trilogy with a film that has been referred to as "the Citizen Kane of bad movies". This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 2003, it's The Room. Is it intentionally bad? What exactly was the nature of Johnny and Denny's relationship? What was up with the tuxes?
Scotto and Uncle John continue their latest trilogy with a movie that is so notoriously bad that even it's star/co-writer/co-producer urged audiences not to see it. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1987, it's Leonard Part 6. Does it live up to it's reputation? Were Medusa and her dancers a deliberate reference to Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome? Why was The Cosby Show so popular?
Scotto and Uncle John begin their latest trilogy of notoriously bad movies with an Elizabeth Berkley vehicle that made movie history by being the first NC-17 film to be released in mainstream theaters. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1995, it's Showgirls. Why was the movie made? How has Elizabeth Berkley managed to maintain a career? When will we finally learn our lesson?
Scotto and Uncle John discuss their 2012 Oscar picks and conclude their impromptu Matthew Vaughn trilogy with the movie that may have landed Daniel Craig the role of James Bond. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 2004, it's Layer Cake. Is Meryl Streep a shoe-in for Best Actress? Is Layer Cake the movie that Guy Ritchie has been trying to make? Can they put off Showgirls for yet another week?
