"The more voices there are, the more spin there is. The truth becomes that much harder to find. In the end, it's all just noise."

This week on FRANCHI$ED, hosts Jonathan Foster, Ariane Anantaputri & Fil Freitas drop in on a film school horror movie set, only to find the world is suddenly being taken over by the dead. As they try to make it out, one of the annoying film students decides to pull a Blair Witch and film the whole thing.

We're here with the penultimate episode of Season 2, with George A. Romero's DIARY OF THE DEAD (2007). It's the second film in the director's second Dead Trilogy, and this time sees Romero taking the zombie film back to the first night, against a more modern lens. Always ahead of his time, Romero also decided to throw his hat into the found footage game, before Paranormal Activity and Cloverfield would re-popularise the genre, has he wanted to explore emerging media and citizen journalism.

How does this film hold up 15 years removed from the boom of Myspace and YouTube? Is it already dated, or does it remain underrated and prescient? Tune it to find out...

It's time to get Zombified and FRANCHI$ED!
