Inaugural Content On Demand (C.O.D.) aka Codpast Episode

Host/Co-host: Jason Beard & Justin Merritt

The movie reviews are officially on hold because President Scott has ordered the bunker crew to just chat and "act like professionals." This week on Dystopian Drive-In, Jason (broadcasting from a dusty 12x12 rocket storage room) and Justin Merritt (broadcasting from a plush, ED-pill-funded missile silo) ditch the script for their very first unscripted banter session: The Codpast.

Bunker Blues & The Horny Mailbag

While Jason wrestles with intense social anxiety and handles a growing puddle of "mystery seepage" in his bunker, the duo dives into a wildly chaotic batch of post-apocalyptic fan mail. The listeners prove that Armageddon has made the surviving population incredibly horny, resulting in messages ranging from Breaking Bad nostalgia and face-punching inquiries to a listener aggressively accusing Jason of being a cuckold. Jason fiercely shuts down the rumors, begging the caller to buy some chapstick to stop his disgusting, "lickety-smackety" microphone mouth noises.

The Childhood Trauma of the Undead

To wrap up the chat, Justin explains his deep-seated childhood trauma regarding zombie movies, tracing it back to a terrifying scene in Return of the Living Dead where a severed zombie torso wiggles like a tail while moaning that "being dead hurts." Jason attempts to comfort him by praising the high art of The Walking Dead and 28 Days Later, but the mood crashes when they realize El Presidente’s next mandatory movie assignment is a zombie flick they are both actively trying to avoid.
