We delve into Dan's backyard (the next edition of <a href="https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691223513/theories-of-international-politics-and-zombies?srsltid=AfmBOopR4F_Z42wNG19nTWZHBCDvZLNePvRcirIyEtCiHJPAvgz7S9fe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Theories of International Relations and Zombies</a> ain't gonna research itself!) with the least-faithful-to-the-source-material movie of all time. A cursed production that wouldn't stay dead, this movie wound up going viral—it's still the highest-grossing zombie movie of all time. There is just a bit of IR, and the capitalism won't stay dead, either.<hr> Hosted on Acast.

On Space the Nation, we take our love of science fiction (and fantasy and horror) and smash it together with our professional passions: international relations (as brought to the table by Tufts University professor and Washington Post columnist Dan Drezner) and cultural criticism (as brought to the table by political columnist Ana Marie Cox). It's a highly informed but hilarious conversation that starts with an examination of a particular text (everything from Ursula K. LeGuin to the MCU, Star Trek to Colson Whitehead) and veers into current events, mental health practices and imagined conversations between Ted Cruz and the Predator. For people who like white papers and graphic novels, Chapo Trap House and what Political Science Twitter used to be. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
