When negative feedback shakes your confidence, it can be difficult to get back to feeling like yourself at work. In this episode, Anne and Frances help a struggling listener who has spent years toning herself down in the workplace after being told that she was too assertive — now, she feels that her modest approach is holding her back. Together, they use Anne and Frances’s “trust triangle” framework to explore how empathy, authenticity, and logic can help you rebuild confidence and trust with your colleagues, and share helpful confidence hacks for getting comfy with discomfort.

Not a lot is written about this 2004 movie for a reason. The cast and crew appear nowhere online in headshot form for a reason.
Conceptually it is an ok premise. The hadron collider has an unexpected dump of radiation. A team led by the chief scientist is heading down into it and 4 twenty something junior scientists volunteer to monitor it for the weekend. The radiation causes the research team to turn into zombies, and the volunteers need to escape the tunnels of the institute whilst malevolent forces from outside hamper their escape.
What do we get? 4 awful British actors walking tunnels slowly. They are jumped from nowhere by a zombie, fight it off. Run around the corner, then start to walks really slowly again. Repeat and rinse.
There is one decent scene/shot.
And the highlight was when one of the characters asking "did you get through to anyone?" and the subtitles stating "3 2 1".
Could have been done well but wasn't. Had a Cornetto in the freezer as a nod to Shaun of the Dead and some very loose 28 Days Later music at some point. But, all in all, this was a very poor effort deserving of it's 2/10 score

Send us a text TRANSIT 17 Before I even start I know this movie is going to be bag of horse dicks. It is going to be so bad my apartment will need fumigating. After a virus infected France, Belgium and the Netherlands a team of resistance soldiers trying to safe a young girl who seems to be their last hope for a cure. 3/10 on IMDB A terrible movie, absolutely mindbogglingly bad. The plot is muddled at best, although I shouldn't say that since to be honest, there is really no plotl. It is just a mess of different locations where the protagonists travel through and meet new characters you will not care about nor ever see again. With the lack of a plot you will not care about any of the characters, except maybe to root for their deaths and even when characters die it is still so unsatisfying. Also the camera shots are so dull and grey, that's it's like somebody put a polarizing film over it. And the acting is so wooden that actual planks with faces painted on them would have done a better job and you would have cared more about since a plank getting shit is a waste of a good potential coffee table. As a final now, I'm pretty sure that the writers of this piece of crap completely do not understand what an open ending means. Here's a hint to them, it's not just cutting it off and fading to black. How was this movie made? That is the first question. The zombies are incidental. And the elite resistance alpha squad led by the very unconvincing director/writer/star Tex get wiped out or captured easily. Their status as the best squad in the resistance is ludicrous, but not as ludicrous as the muscle bound freak of a villain, known as the commander, who walks around in a tactical vest so pumped up on steroids he can barely move. What a bag of shit. If I could liken this movie to anything it would be the vanity project of an untalented Dutchman. Made no sense. No one was any good. Nothing was redeemable about this. I want the time back I wasted on it. I have two words to saw to Tex, (in awful Dutch/Texan accent) FUCK OFF! 1.5/10…
Send us a text Now I do have the TUBI list of movies to work through… the detritus of the channel… Transit 17 and Age of the Dead and 5 years after the fall and the like… utter horse dung and I do have DVDs coming Better of Zed starring Graham Sibley from Zombie Honeymoon Messiah of Evil, that we are going to be watching then reviewing with Andy Beglin next month And what ChatGPT listed as the worst zombie movie ever made Zombie Nightmare with Adam West from 1987 But whilst I am waiting for them to arrive in the post I have one more DVD kicking about, and it has been put off for quite a while. Months even. And it is Zeder Stefano, a journalist, finds that there is a terrain that can bring people back from the dead. His wife is murdered and he buries her in the same zone in the hope of bringing her back. Or The story is about a young novelist's discovery of the writings of a late scientist who had found a means of reviving the dead. Hm sounds like Pet Cemetery to me 1983 Italian 62% on RT, 4/5 on amazon (meaningless) but a very telling 6.1/10 on IMDB A zombie movie in the loosest sense. It was a sprawling conspiracy that everyone was involved with from their university professor, to their cop friend, to Alessandra's doctor friend, and all to bring loved ones back from the dead. Ending with him bringing his wife back from the dead, only to kill him. So this was pet cemetery it just took 99 minutes to become Pet Cemetery and was then Pet Cemetery for a minute.…
Send us a text I zombie Very I Claudius or I Robot And no not the crappy tv show either this a film which was released by Fangoria Films in 1998; it was written, directed, produced and scored by Andrew Parkinson. It tells the story of a young man who gets infected by being bitten by a zombie and gradually starts turning into one himself. HIS SOUL WAS THE LAST THING TO GO Keith Phipps of The A.V. Club wrote that the film is too dull to appeal even to Fangoria subscribers. [3] Writing in Zombie Movies: The Ultimate Guide , Glenn Kay called the film overly serious and predictable. [4] Peter Dendle , author of The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia , described it as "more competent and compelling than most of its small-scale Yankee predecessors." [5] Marc Price, the director of Colin , said that if he had known about the existence of I, Zombie , he probably wouldn't have made his film… so in another timeline in the multiverse Michael wouldn’t have had to see that monstroslity Commendation Award for Best Independent Feature, Festival of Fantastic Films (1998) [ 5.3/10 in IMDB 45% RT 3.2/5 on letterboxd According to the trailer Uncompromising real vulnerable and chilling A brilliant, provocative sobering horror film Quite gruesome… one of the years best horror films… um, carnival of souls, blade, species 2, children of the corn 5, sometimes they come back 2, I still know what you did last summer, bride of chucky, Halloween h20, prophecy 2, urban legend, the faculty and the psycho remake… so no… In the tradition of cronenbergs fly? That’s the second movie in a row using that comparison… And it was an ideal time for indie music, I had just come out of university and was loving life in the big city From IMDB I give this movie an "A". "A" as in awful. I first thought this film was going to be entertaining because Fangoria made this movie. But I was definitely let down. This was one of the worst movies I've seen. I fell asleep through most of it because it was so boring and it should have been a documentary instead of horror. I had to watch it again to see the stuff I missed and I'm very glad I was asleep during that time because I could been traumatized for life. I warn all horror fans, STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awful. Dull. Repetitive. Boring. Repetitive. Awful. Repetitive. And Dull. And repetitive. Fangoria magazine you should be ashamed. This was college student quality at best. Guildford, where it was filmed, art college. 2.5/10 This is the sort of movie that makes you want to get on with your life.…

Send us a text You know when the New York Times, Variety and Salon.com say something is hilarious that you have had funnier dental work. You also know that when the New York Times, Variety and Salon.com say a very low budget zombie movie is hilarious the critic didn't write the review, that their intern did. And that their intern has shit for brains. So this movie is 2004 and tells the story of newly wedded couple Danny and Denise. First day of honeymoon down at a beach house Danny is clambered onto by a zombie from the sea who spews blood into his mouth. Danny dies and is called as dead at the hospital. But he comes back from the dead and is just discharged the same time, despite being dead for 10 minutes. Nonsense. Punctuated with some of the worst music ever to be created, Danny will chomp his way through his hospital roommate, three cops, two best friends and a travel agent, and all the while being protected by a screaming wife. Is it bad? It is no Zombie with a Chainsaw. Is it good? No. Is it worth watching? Only if you want to see every zombie movie ever made. The acting was ok. The effects were meh. The music sucked donkey dick for nickels. 4/10 and they should thank me for that.…

However, as Stone, our special forces Sinead O'Connor and Ellen Ripley a la Alien 3 skinhead sporting heroine discovers, the medication turns everyone fast moving black blood spewing zeke. With decent practical effect and some good cinematography, a few good tense moments and kills, this is still average at best. The acting is ok. The costumes from some era before this, but we don't know when. The zombie effects and zombie acting is very good. Top notch actually. But ultimately this movie was missing something. I needed more of a determined escape. A better plan. And the island to be carpet bombed at the end a la Rezort. 4/10 Also Patients of a Saint? As in Patience of a Saint but they are like... patients in a hospital wing? Awful.…

Send us a text A change of plan. We had that list of zombie movies on TUBI. Michael was given the reigns and I asked him which one to watch next. He said Transit 17, a French/Belgian/dutch effort. I agreed then saw the trailer and reviews and now he has had his choosing privileges revoked again. That being said TUBI has redeemed itself by offering up this, a rom zom com, and there aren’t many of this… Burying the Ex 2014 Directed by Joe Danto who gave Gremlins and Small Soldiers, both good films, and it stars the late and great Alton Yelchin, Green Room, Star Trek, Terminator Salvation, a lot of good things. A true loss to Hollywood that one. It stars Anton as MAX Ashley Green from the Twiglight movies as Evelyn, the zombie ex Alexandra Deddario from a really good list of movies, San Andreas, Texas chainsaw 3D, we summon the darkness, percy Jackson…as new gf olivia And Oliver Cooper who we loved in As We Know it as Travis, not that he is being typecast as he nerdy best friend in zombie comedies at all The plot Max, a young man, starts dating Evelyn, but she soon dies in an accident. Things take a dark turn when she comes back as a zombie and find out that Max has moved on with Olivia. Is it Warm Bodies? No. But it still one of those sought after entry level zombie movies that you could watch with the new significant other, the wife/gf/partner/kids/homeless man you met at the bus station called Malcolm It feels a little more As We Know It, with movie references and movies watched including I Walked with a Zombie dotted throughout. Speaking of which Oliver Cooper is funny as ever. And despite Evelyn being so obnoxious you wanted her dead before she actually is killed, the cast and the plot is ok. 5/10 which is good for us…
Send us a text WORLD END AT CAMP Z A campground owner learns of a prospective buyer's evil intentions concerning the land. A zombie uprising might help him stop the sale. 3.3/10 in IMDB urgh No overall score in RT as it doesn’t have 50 people who could be bothered to watch it 1/10 The Mess at Worlds End Whoever rated thus dog over 3 is either high or part of the film crew. It's a wandering mess without clear purpose or point. The premise was suppose to be about survivors enduring some zombie apocalypse. What we got fell far short. Horrendously awful acting, I mean some actors seemed to either forget lines or adlib them. The plot and story was none existent. The film is supposed to be about zombies, yet we somehow get some tripe about environmentalist trying to prevent some company strip mining the Camp for precious metals?! Worse still is the first zombies dont show up until 60% of the movie is shown. And then some of the worse makeup sgx ever. Yikes this thing is painful to watch. I couldnt finish it. I spent 3.99 for this dog, moneyand time I cant get back. Do yourself a favor and stay away Thanks michael And it stars Age of the Living Dead's Anne-Carolyne Binette as Vanessa, and a bunch of Canadians as Clay, Julian, Max and Aaron What an awful piece of shit this movie was Don’t get me wrong, it is certainly no Anger of the Dead But the characters were inconsistent vanessa was a badass or pathetic, loving aaron or loving julian, the douches were all douches… It felt like a bad cheap Festival of the Dead so it is going to be less than that for sure The zombie storyline was minimal The effects were poor The acting was bad The music choices were atrocious But I am glad I got it done… as I will never need to see that bag of shit again Canada you should be ashamed It is a 3/10 at best…

Send us a text The film was first released under its original title of Last Rites at the Los Angeles Film Festival on June 30, 2006. It was later released direct to video on May 1, 2007 under the new title of Gangs of the Dead . In both Germany and Italy , the film was released under the title of City of the Dead . In the United Kingdom , the film was released under the title of 48 Weeks Later , in an effort to capitalise on the success of 28 Weeks Later , which had been released in 2007. The film takes place in the city of Los Angeles , California , and follows two intertwined plots. The main plot concerns a meteorite that crashes in Los Angeles. It carries alien spores that spread across the city, transforming humans into flesh-eating zombies . The other story is about two rival gangs, "The Lords of Crenshaw" and "El Diablo", who continue to fight for dominance of Los Angeles even as it falls to the zombie hordes. 3.4/10 on IMDB and 19% on rotten tomatoes 1 star review Nothing special. Nothing to do with 28 days/weeks later. First of all, I am an avid horror film fanatic, I have around 400-500 horror films, I have seen well over a thousand. I am very fond of the zombie films... Unfortunately, 48 weeks later, at absolute best, is a mediocre film, that's being extremely generous.. Nothing unique or original. Meteorite hits homeless people, they turn into zombies. Some people are trapped inside a warehouse thing, lots of arguments, they disagree about what should be done. Most of them die. Bla bla bla. Poor acting, poor storyline, absolutely nothing about this film is exciting, it's boring at best. Also, terrible sound and picture quality, rubbish effects. I don't mind poor effects, or poor picture quality, as long as the film is entertaining, as this was not, it just added to the misery of sitting through this. There are some good zombie films out there, this is not one of them. I wouldn't waste your time. I would not recommend to anyone. OK so back to shit biscuits being dunked in my tea Thoughts? Alarmingly this isn’t the first Hispanic gangster zombie movie I have seen with the Cholo Zombie movies, and it isn’t the first LA movie with the Live Escape/Survival movies… but I think it was done as well as it could be with the amateur cast. I think the gang members were good. They tried to make the gangs sound, act, dress differently and drive different cars. It could have been good, but it wasn't as bad as they make it out to be. The Asian informant and GF was the weakest link here. And the weatherman and his end made no real sense. I think he needed to be seen to be going progressively man. I also think if they had stayed in the dumpster with the bitten brother it would have made for a better more tense story. Imagine 3 of you in a dumpster and one has been bitten. If you class it as Gangs of the Dead it is a 4/10 If you class it as part of the 28 Weeks/Months/Years series it is a 1/10…
Send us a text I know I know I promised Michael I would watch World Ends at Camp Z, but I really don’t want to, so I am sneaking in DEATH SHACK. DEATH SHACK BABY DEATH SHACK DEATH SHACK BABY THAT’S WHERE ITS AT. 2017 from SHUDDER Gets a respectable 5.5/10 on IMDB And 82% on ROTTEN TOMATOES Yup. How do you like them apples? Three teens and a drunken father on a cabin getaway discover their mysterious neighbor is harboring a house full of zombies. While staying at a run-down cabin in the woods, three children must save their parents from the neighbour who intends to feed them to her undead family. The gore is ok. The story is ok but basic. The cinematography is great. However, the characters, every man jack of them, is an asshole. All of them. This is a group of the most unlikable Canadians you can imagine. Roger is such a drunk asshole, noisy, useless, drunk. Lisa the same. Summer is a horrible sarcastic girl. Colin is a bully and a dick. And Jason is pathetic. Really, horrible people. If this family rolled up to the hotel you are staying it, you would move hotels. Utter scumbags. That aside, there is about 5 minutes or proper zombie movie deaths and killing at the end, including a very surprising death, so kudos for that, and that it is only 73 minutes long. Definitely not 82% def not 5.5/10. I will give it 5/10 as people may, and do like it, I just found all the characters sounding the same, and all of them as careless, loud, sarcastic, brash, brutish dicks, being a turn off. 5/10…

Send us a text Looked very 28 Days later in the trailer In a country ravaged by a deadly virus that has triggered a zombie apocalypse, the military is on the hunt for the man rumoured to have the cure Well, I am getting a bit of déjà vu here - much like the movie Zombies!f from 2016 Which was repackaged as Zombie Christmas Apocalypse in 2024 this is actually the 2015 movie Darkest Day And, more déjà vu, on IMDB 3/10 Its your average low budget zombie conspiracy. Acting, filming and direction are all ok but the writing needs help. 1/10 From the outset, terrible focusing of the camera was annoying. Constant blurring of images was (at best) bad cinematography. 2/10 The cover is what actually got my attention to watch this movie. Right at the start I already knew it was a B movie when the camera panning and blurry unfocused technique was used which was very amatuer. As I continued watching I noticed there's not much dialogue and conversations are simple few word sentences. After watching that piece of crap Dead Genesis, this looks to suffer from the same issues in quality. The sound mix is so bad, the sound guy deserves shooting. Loud music. Loud FX. Almost inaudible dialog. What there is of it. CGI helicopters were shit. The whole students living in this house and not having stockpiled supplies and instead drinking and eating crisps and playing loud music months into the apocalypse made no sense. The acting was sub par. But again better than DEAD GENESIS. And the plot was much much better so I think this was, for the UK zombie movie fan, almost recommendable but not quite. A 28 Days and Weeks later rip off, with a few decent elements. The zombies running and makeup was good. The rest was ok. 4.5/10…
Send us a text 3.4/10 in IMDB 20% on rotten tomatoes What did people say? A sadistic, immoral film that is utterly contemptible and repulsive. To say this is sick cinema without any redeeming elements at all is an understatement. The beginning sequence is one of the most morally offensive ever filmed. The consumption of a living child by a zombie, dining on the innocent's stomach while the child blinks his eyes uncomprehendingly, is the definition of torture porn and possibly the sickest sort of child pornography. The exploitation of a child and depiction of the worst child murder imaginable is beyond anything ever portrayed in a so-called legitimate film. Of all the disgusting, repulsive, and sick movies made, this one is about as depraved as possible. 1/10. Not a good start. Terrible 1/10 Wait, there wasn't an earthquake? this is the shakiest film ever made, and to be avoided by anyone who doesn't want to be motion sick in the first 20 min (several times) If the shaking doesn't get you, the terrible acting and effects may actually come close to destroying any love for the entire genre. I've heard that the UN is declaring this movie to be a crime against humanity. 1/10 Ok, what is the best review? Total Romero This is one hell of a zombie movie. It's been along time since any zombie flick that I've seen has managed to capture the spirit of those classic Romero movies. It's got the social commentary angle going for it and that traditional zombie spirit as well. Dead Genesis also manages to have one of the most graphic and gory openings to a zombie film that I've ever seen. Many have the grand epic openings, this is much more personal and disturbing. 10/10 You sir are a jackass! Ok, lets get this bass of horses dicks done A bunch of randoms walking around the woods aimlessly killing zombies that creep up on them is joined by a monotone, clueless reporter (sorry! I am not a reporter), I mean documentary film maker, walk aimlessly around the woods shooting zombies that creep on them. There is no mission. No grand design. No purpose. Just aimlessly walking around the woods, then stopping to talk and be filmed by the reporter (I am not a reporter!), and have zombie creep up on them. No guards. No lookouts. No radios. No map. No direction. Awful cinematography, and a group of individuals where only one of them seems ok. And only 2 can act. Hated it. 2/10…
