81. "Overlord" (2018)

Kind-of a Halloween episode tonight, as World War II Movie Night
does 2018's "Overlord." Mega-producter J.J. Abrams brings us this
zombie gorefest that's also an homage to "Nazi'ploitation," a
mostly-'70s genre that saw horror, thrillers, and even pornos
centered around history's most reliable villains. So turn off
your brain and enjoy the fast-paced action as a D-Day unit behind
enemy lines in France has a timely mission before the boats hit
the beaches; complications arise when they stumble upon secret
experiments meant to ensure a 1,000-year Reich!... Asides include
numerous observations about horror and exploitation, the
African-American experience in the War, and WWII movies with
weirdly modern touches.
