Nurture & Support #37 - We are fluent in George Romero
0This week, Kelly talks about George Romero’s zombies and Mel reads a space book.
Mel’s Recommendation:
Fluency
Book: Fluency by Jen Foehner Wells aka @Jenthulhu
A Science Fiction novel that centers around a linguist named Jane Holloway attempting to make first contact with an alien species. Jane and her fellow astronauts have been sent to investigate a silent alien spaceship that has been sitting out past Mars for several decades.
Mel assures Kelly that while there is some romance in this novel, this isn’t a “bodice-ripping-in-space” story.
The author has included a number of fun nerd references. See if you can find them all!
Check out the author’s website here and Fluency on Goodreads.
Kelly’s Recommendation:
Birthliving-dead
Movie/Documentary: Birth of the Living Dead
1968. Peace. Love. And the Undead.
The story of George Romero’s creation of ‘Night of the Living Dead’ and ZOMBIES!
Learn about how he got his start in film making with Mr. Rogers and Calgon.
You might want to watch ‘Night of the Living Dead‘ again first.
Check it out on Netflix!
And a bonus video, just for Mel…
Social Media Recommendations:
Mel:@PopSci: the twitter account of Popular Science magazine. They recently told Mel about a killer amoeba who calls way more people than sharks every year.
Kelly: @CrapTaxidermy: Like it sounds, they memorialize unfortunate examples of very bad attempts at taxidermy.
