Hey Roanoke, I have a profile essay I have to do for my English class next Thursday. I was wondering if you'd be interested in doing an interview for it?
So proud of Roanoke back in 2018 when he was a nervous young youtuber voice cracking trembling with fear, you've come a long way buddy. Make more dead space vids.
The book places more emphasis on the “infection” being an allegory for *very* deep depression. Once you see it in that framework it makes more sense that R’s journey is one of psychological recovery more than falling in love (though it’s definitely part of it) He is quite literally learning to live again and he does it with the love and support of a network of friends. It’s honestly a great read and R’s inner monologues are beautifully written. I wish they hadn’t tried to make it a YA for the movie.
@Logan Goulet "Young Adult" refers to media (usually books) aimed at teens. Think Hunger Games or Twilight. Warm Bodies and its sequels lean more speculative fiction. The themes are darker, the characters older, and the ending isn't quite as perfect and happy, but in a way that compliments the story and makes it feel more grounded (or as grounded as a story about zombies can be) I liked the movie, but I definitely recommend the books.
That puts the bonies into perspective. They are rock bottom depression. Where you give up on life and your body eats itself because you stop eating as much.
I vibe with this theory and think it applies perfectly to the movie, but the book explains zombiesm as a supernatural undeath by despair situation, the apocalypse was caused by a large percent of the human race hitting emotional rock bottom and coming under the influence of some dark force released by enough humans giving up, bonies are zombies that gave up on even the smallest fragments of their humanity.
Yeah, the book is a bit more interesting. They took a few liberties, since Julie's dad doesn't live in the end. He dies becoming a Boney before disintegrating outright, there was something else that happened at the end, too: Julie and R's eyes change to gold.
This is actually a super unique way of a virus working. Instead of fighting the immune system, it just destroys the highway (the heart) that the immune system uses to get to the battlefield. The idea that CPR could partially cure a zombie is hilarious to me.
If you find the idea of these types of zombies interesting read Breathers: a zombies lament. This movie is basically a bastardized and poorly written version of that book. Highly recommend the book. It's very funny.
This was a great episode. I loved this cheesy movie, and I recognized the Romeo and Juliet thing, but it actually goes deeper than that like how R's friend is named M (for Mercutio, Romeo's best friend), Juliet's friend is Nora (who is into biology, and something of Nurse, who was Juliet's friend and confidant), Juliet's father has the fairly Italian name of Grigio. And Juliet's edible ex was Perry (instead of Paris, whom Romeo also kills). And of course the balcony scene. Then again, I'm a huge Shakespeare fan, so I noticed it right away.
"Girl?" "Gone" " Hm....Bitches." I died laughing at that scene. So good. Honestly this movie is an underappreciated gem. Got way to bad reviews. It's one of my absolute favorites! Love your content, please NEVER stop! WITH THE POWER OF LO-
@@OverdramaticAngelprobably because they compare it to the book. But movies are rarely ever true to the books. I thought the movie was a fun watch. It was not pure horror it was also comedy. People forget that. Even I was annoyed when I heard the plot of the movie because I was sick of every monster type being turned into a love story but I was surprised by it.
Mechanical engineers feel this all the time when discussing anything other than mechanical engineering. "Of course I've mastered quantum cosmology, I have a BA in Mechanical/Civic Engineering"
I love that you did a breakdown of this movie. The bonies are definitely at the top of the hierarchy. If I remember correctly, in the book they were smart enough to organize "classrooms" for child zombies. Child zombies didn't have an instinct to hunt humans and so they would be taught. Humans would be brought to the airport and the adult zombies would form a ring around human and child zombies so that the kids could learn to hunt. It's been a long time since I read the book. If you enjoyed the movie, I recommend it as it might fill in some plot points and lore.
Re: Julie being rather blasé about Perry’s death. She should probably be more upset, but also it’s explained that Perry had lost all hope and had shut down emotionally. It’s also why he took unnecessary chances. He no longer cared about life. She lost Perry long before he died.
That would suck if you were the type of zombie that half decomposes, like your jaws half hanging of or smth and then the virus gets fought off, then your just a human with a jaw hanging off lol
I just feel for the person who had to take out a parent or a loved one because they turned only to find out, after years of mourning and acceptance, that they themselves could've turned their loved one back.
This movie is based on a book trilogy. In the sequels most people hate or distrust the cured zombies because their existence implicates the people they lost to the plague could have been saved instead of killed.
Saw this one in theaters, absolutely loved it. Cheesy, ridiculous, and a ton of fun. I'm glad you got to examine the way these zombies work, because they are indeed way different from everyone else's.
It’s a good thing her dad didn’t succeed in killing him. Considering she fell in love with the guy who killed the previous boyfriend it would have gotten awkward...
Lol I’ve tried like maybe 5 or 6 times to actually watch this movie.. and I can’t do it!. It’s just so.. lame?. I get it, it’s for teen girls who liked Twilight.. or people with bad taste. And John Malkovich is a bigger beacon for bleh movies than Bruce Willis lol.
This movie has a warm place in my heart. Was goin through a rough time when it came out and I watched it alone in a theater and I always remembered it.
It's strange to think like 20 years ago you would have had to pay $30,000 and lose 4-8 years of your life to get this kind of information. Meanwhile Roanoke is just educating the public out of the kindness and enthusiasm of his heart. Strange to think about. Thanks for your work Roanoke.
Imagine thinking a single UA-cam video could cover the breath of knowledge and appliance of that knowledge compared to a four-year university which is probably where the guy you're listening to got his knowledge.
This guy literally spent that money and did that time to learn this information and far more…watching his videos is fun but it’s nowhere near worth a degree
I'm almost positive they mention in the movie that the regular zombies are food for the Bonies, hence why the zombies have them locked in the dark areas of the airport.
No, they aren't, but when the zombies started to heal themselves and their hearts started pumping, the bonies sense it and try to eat them, because it's stated that they mindlessly eat anything with a heartbeat
I'd love to see a breakdown of the movie Inifini 2015, has Chris Hemsworth in it. Some sort of biological critter that takes over bodies, then can also duplicate biological entities. Also has a natural state of clear, sentient slime.
"They don't believe in the power of love, because they're big nerds who live in the basement of the airport and talk about how nobody likes nice skeletons anymore... and they also finish last." 🤣🤣🤣 Love you for this one, Roanoke
9:21 "Dead Inside? Absolutely." would have been PERFECT advertising material. I've always loved this movie despite its flaws, and I'm really glad to see you break it down!
In the book, her dad became infected and almost immediately went full boney, I'm assuming to signify that he'd already given up any hope for the future... Or he's getting the jump on a brand new buffett line
I hope you'll cover Shin Godzilla from *Shin Godzilla* soon! Fascinating to see the direction that Toho took with their titular character and what strange biological mechanisms it uses as an irradiated mutant.
have u seen the video with sketches for ideas they may take this zilla? The idea is godzilla is trying to be the apex thru evolution. There were some sketches playin with the idea that zillla evolves wings. I think in the end of the movie we see the tail seperating and iirc theory is its suppose to split into many tiny zillas playing off the fact that despite zilla being one big monster, it still was brought down by the intelligence and numbers of many smaller beings. There was also an interesting sketch where at some point in ita evoline, it was a human shaped entity.
I think there are concepts here that are very fascinating. For starters, the zombies still think. That alone is interesting, but the fact they gain memories from the brains they eat is also fascinating. Imagine a zombie virus variation that actually allowed them to become more intelligent with every brain they eat, allowing for planning and societies, among other things. Additionally, I remember seeing a trailer for this movie and thinking R's heart started upon his first sight of Julie. That made me think, until this very video, that having a shock to the heart would've allowed for his returning to a human state, which I would've found the most fascinating concept. In other words, this movie would've been better if the zombies just needed a strong stimulation/shock to start the process of returning to life, and R's shock just happened to be love at first sight.
Never thought you would do this one You are full of surprises sir I've watched your videos all day to take my mind away from things as my nan passed away yesterday morning My favourite video is your cloverfield one Keep up the good work Roanoke we appreciate you bro
@@RoanokeGaming not only takesx my mind away but you go into detail it's also educating and I wish I did this in college but did animal care that was back in the day tho I'm 31 now I know it's never to late but I find what you did and your knowledge seems way more fun 😊 Back
This movie puts in mind a zombie novel I once read called 'The Words of Their Roaring'. The zombie infection in that book works something like this. An infected initially has a siezure, dies, revives, and starts eating people. And they stay that way for a long, long, looooong, time. But if an infected is around long enough, the infection stabilizes within them, and their brain begins to slowly fully reactivate. The novel is about how this happens years after infection, and once the process completes a zombie is once again fully human in intelligence and thought, but the survivors who have lived in terror of the zombies for years ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS and pop zombies on reflex. So the first few zombies to complete this process are struggling to try and communicate to the uninfected that things are changing, and there soon won't be a reason to fear their kind anymore. That soon, the danger will pass and the world can rebuild, human and zombie together. It's a really cool novel, I really suggest it.
I saw a recap for a show where the dead have come back to life and the main character is a boy who you later find out had committed suicide; i think they're all zombies, most are sapient but a few are affected negatively by it and turn violent
Congratulations, you catching onto it being Zombie! Romeo and Juliet put you ahead of 90% of people who watched the movie without reading the book (btw, a lot of your questions are answered in the book - they didn't leave with the car because they had zombie kids with them originally).
Oh my god, the depth in which you went to figure all this out and craft into a convincingly plausible explanation is mindblowing. For the longest time I had trouble reconciling zombies with basic biological processes, and you just found enough scientific wiggle room to justify them. You deserve a fucking medal.
One of my favorite movies. A major physical effect of humanity losing touch with each other turning them into unfeeling monsters that cant communicate, saved by empathy and a love of art inspiring oneself. And good to dee an apocalypse movie with a happy ending (including salvation for some of the undead!)
In addition to everything you said I always assumed that the virus itself also had a response to certain neurochemicals that could actually break down the viral DNA in large enough quantities. And since all emotions including love are generated by neurochemicals I was always under the impression that because of our listening to music in addition to the extended amount of time the virus has been present in the body he had enough dopamine in his system to break down enough of the virus to allow the process to begin. So after enough time of the body building up antibodies even though it wasn't able to transport them and the correct stimuli from the outside providing the dopamine kick the process that you described could begin. But of course that was just my theory in addition to what you said because I thought it would be interesting that there could be a virus that actually has a weakness to the neurochemicals from positive emotion which wouldn't have hindered it during immediate infection because people would be feeling things like fear and despair upon becoming infected as well as explaining why they refer to the late stage infected as being individuals who gave up hope
So would that suggest that those with mental illnesses like depression would be more susceptible to becoming boneys faster as many with that illness lack proper dopamine production?
The reason why I liked this movie so much is that it's campy and weird on purpose, and it makes it hilarious. There are a lot of interesting aspects to it, as you've technically gone into in this video. It's similar to the "it's so bad it's good" phenomena, but not quite in the same way. In any case, your exporation of how this infection could have worked is an 11/10. I'm poop at science, and even I understood it. Interesting as hell, too. ♥
I know it was a cheesy movie but it was still fun and sweet. I laughed a few times at parts that weren't supposed to be funny, actually some parts were cringe but not in an entirely bad way. Liked your zombie infection breakdown, as someone who loves zombies and how to survive and how infection would go.
While in Biology Processes and Interactions class, knowing all of the key terms, understanding core concepts, etc., these videos are even more fascinating, as I can follow along with the logic and make my own theories without coming to a misunderstanding that is later clarified by you. Truly incredible how deep this stuff goes.
This movie was honestly adorable as fuck. A product of it's time, but one of the actually enjoyable ones. Every time it gets brought up I haven't found a person that doesn't unironically like this movie. Thanks for covering it, never thought you would. XD
As a euro automotive technician, your comments on fuel going stale and BMW'S in general are spot on.I love picking things apart & you take it to a pro level. Cars and zombies? I'm riveted.
Yes! I remember when I watched the movie I had a sort of morbid curiosity with these. How that life cycle went, etc And of course you cover it! Thank you!
i just watched this movie like 3 days ago and i honestly thought it was fun but man the amount of times i had to pause it and just question what is going on was wild like this raised so many questions out of me
Not gonna lie, I really like this movie. I like to think that the new neural connections being made cause the heart to start beating again due to needing oxygen (the brain).
I love this movie. It took 3 times watching to realize it was Romeo and Juliette... Also, in the book, the boneies act a little differently, but that just enforces the fact that they maintained hierarchy. They also married zombies together I think.
12:49 I ended up buying this movie and after watching it over ten times I realized the whole R and Julie thing while watching this scene and my brain just exploded. When I call my then Fiance about it and was just "WOW, I just realized this!" she was just "Yeah, duh, you didn't get that the first time we watched it?" I felt really deflated after that... but I relieved the high through you just now! Thanks Roanoke! I wasn't the only one who didn't realize right away!
I’m like actually really happy to see this video and comment section, because I really enjoyed the movie when it first came out when I was a little kid, and I thought the concept was cool simply because it was a new, fresh idea on the zombie apocalypse! And I remember it made me sad when my dad was like…”nah I don’t like it I think it was stupid” and just generally seeing the poor reception of it. It’s silly but it warms my hopeless romantic heart thematically and makes my writer heart excited seeing a new take on zombies!
This intro pretty much sums up my thoughts on this movie Not a fan of romance or such but the zombies, particularly the bonies were fantastic, I loved the way the bonies were just these single minded abominations
Roanoke. In the most platonic way possible. I fucking love you. Ive read all the books save for the 4th book (because its a whole hassle to get a hold of). Youve made my week with this video.
Dude I just found your channel like 2 weeks ago and now look forward to every movie breakdown you make haha I love your science mix with humor approach. Please keep up the great work! I would love to see you break down the machine from Oblivion with Tom Cruise and your thoughts on it's origins.
From left 4 dead to killer clowns from space, man this channel does some amazing things trying to explain things we all sat and wondered if you watched or played what he is talking about. Keep of the great work man it’s super interesting
I unironically watch this movie at least 3 times a year. Guilty pleasure movie is not even close to how much this movie means to me 😂 great breakdown as always.
Honestly, I was one of those people that initially trashed this as “Twilight is taking over my Zombies now” until I randomly watched it. It’s a fun take on zombies in my opinion and your breakdown of the virus itself makes me enjoy the movie more.
I swear I watched this movies with my girlfriend last week and I was wondering if you would talk about this zombie flick in any of your video. And boom there it is. So cool
I think this movie is pretty funny having at parts and has some interesting ideas. The whole romance zombie thing is whatever but I like when the zombies are trying to talk to eachother and just kind of trying to exsist as whatever they have become.
Really enjoy your vids my man. Thanks for the entertainment and education. I’m actually surprised how much I’ve retained from your vids vs years of college
Another really good zombie movie that also has some questions about morality, is “The Cured” it’s an Irish film that’s pretty unknown from my knowledge. It’s got a really interesting presentation of the zombie virus that would be cool to hear you explain.
I remember going to see this in theaters a long, long time ago. Completely forgot this existed, but I remember having a good time with friends and having a few laughs at some scenes. Excellent breakdown as always!
I truly enjoy all your videos, Dr.Roanoke. I look forward to seeing more of your infection videos. Also, can you do the Scourge of the Beast from Bloodborne?
15:23... "The situation has changed..." which, I like to think there's a lone soldier fighting for his life, and he hears "The situation has changed" without getting any clarification on it... Hoooooly shit dude this made me spit my cereal out on my monitor. SUCH a damn funny thought. Well done.
This movie is such a product of its time. You just know it was made peak zombies every where, Twilight, Hunger Games, and whatever other dystopia ya novel was popular at the time.
im gonna be honest im extremely dumb and only know what h2o means in science and some stuff here and there but every single time roanoke explains stuff even in a more scientific way i end up understanding it almost perfectly i feel ever so slightly more intelligent than before whenever i watch these vids keep it up man im really enjoying this
6:50 : Exactly! 😆 To me, this was pretty much a low key parody of 'Twilight', but using a 'non-sexy' monster (instead of the usual Vampires and Shirtless Werewolves 😏) As to the 'Infection': I just considered it purely Magical in origin, since its cure was for someone to become Human again through "Love" (or Empathy at least). We are all so used to zombie infestations being 'Infections', we forget that the original origin was magic based.
Another great video bro. Keep ‘em coming. On a side note on the killer clown from outer space videos when you said something about along the lines of a bunch of clowns otherwise known as you and your boys had me dying of laughter!
ooh bro, finally got a full time jobbo so i don't have the time to watch (or pay attention to) your uploads. love it tho, literally everything you upload goes up on my list of things to watch - even the ones i've already seen before - i love the scifi flicks. keep it up, tyvm, peace!
Has Roanoke done xenomorphs and neomorphs? Seems like the franchise that needs a video the most. Edit: ok yeah. HOW HAS HE NOT COVERED XENOS???? Also great video. I honestly really liked warm bodies. Thought it was a really good addition to the zombie genre. Could have used a second movie to explain some more about the world.
One thought about the bonies. We are told that they turn because they give up hope. What if its the other way around? Based on your observations, they would likely turn anyway and its just a matter of time. What if the giving up hope is a neurological symptom of the progression? They don't turn because they give up hope, they give up hope because whatever part of the brain that comes from is being affected by the progression.
A second warm bodies movie would be awesome as like a totally different genre, like a detective movie with the zombie-humans and humans working together or smth
If you haven't seen The Returned, another zombie movie that treats zombies as infected that can be cured as long as they keep taking the treatment. It's an interesting take on zombies.
This movie was an interesting twist of zombie film. I found it cute that it is R(omeo) Julie(tte) and M(ercucio) and love saved the day. Fun take on the genre.
I *never* ever thought Roanoke would make a review and analysis about this particular movie ! Nice! Also I have some recommendations the hamsburg syndrome the puppet masters skyline the thaw the crazies fire in the sky mission to mars captive state red sky as well as day of triffids slither dark skies 2001s the lost world which was not a jp movie red planet the lifeforce
@@RoanokeGaming indeed I had a list! though some of them like the lost world and the hamsburg syndrome are literally so unknown that they are thought off as legends
@@UGNAvalon If I try to differentiate them the comment would likely got yeeted I have seen it happen to several commentators that tried to differentiate their paragraphs and than their comments got yeeted by the bots on many other comment sections
BRO THATS WHATTHAT WAS. When i was younger i went downstairs to say GN to my family and i saw the portion of this movie where the skeles are breaking the glass dome, and when i asked my parents about it, they said that there were two types of zombies in the movie, the good ones, and the skeley-boys.

Awww
I remember this movie. It was silly and weird but fun. I thought the idea of bonies was interesting too.
I agree
I'd say there was some innovation over the fact rhat most zombie movies have an immediate loss pf humanity instead of gradual.
Read the novel, it was just as zanny but made more logical sense.
They're pretty much the proto volatiles from dying light.
@Just Iron nah they're the weird things from dead space 3 which is so weird to me that the both have something in them that looks incredibly similar
Re: Julie being rather blasé about Perry’s death. She should probably be more upset, but also it’s explained that Perry had lost all hope and had shut down emotionally. It’s also why he took unnecessary chances. He no longer cared about life. She lost Perry long before he died.
He had also cheated on her some time prior. Their relationship had never fully recovered from that.

Imagine thinking a single UA-cam video could cover the breath of knowledge and appliance of that knowledge compared to a four-year university which is probably where the guy you're listening to got his knowledge.
This guy literally spent that money and did that time to learn this information and far more…watching his videos is fun but it’s nowhere near worth a degree
Zoomer detected
I'm almost positive they mention in the movie that the regular zombies are food for the Bonies, hence why the zombies have them locked in the dark areas of the airport.
Why are zombies eating eachother is interesting
No, they aren't, but when the zombies started to heal themselves and their hearts started pumping, the bonies sense it and try to eat them, because it's stated that they mindlessly eat anything with a heartbeat
I'd love to see a breakdown of the movie Inifini 2015, has Chris Hemsworth in it. Some sort of biological critter that takes over bodies, then can also duplicate biological entities. Also has a natural state of clear, sentient slime.
I can write it down!
Check out the aliens from the 1994 movie called The Puppet masters. Gets confused with the one about actual murder puppets all the time xD
Doesn't it have both Donakd AND Keifer Sutherland in it?
I think it’s luke hemsworth in the movie infini
@@mexipanda3386 you are correct, and (spoilers) he dies in the first half hour
"They don't believe in the power of love, because they're big nerds who live in the basement of the airport and talk about how nobody likes nice skeletons anymore... and they also finish last." 🤣🤣🤣 Love you for this one, Roanoke
9:21 "Dead Inside? Absolutely." would have been PERFECT advertising material. I've always loved this movie despite its flaws, and I'm really glad to see you break it down!
In the book, her dad became infected and almost immediately went full boney, I'm assuming to signify that he'd already given up any hope for the future...
Or he's getting the jump on a brand new buffett line
I hope you'll cover Shin Godzilla from *Shin Godzilla* soon! Fascinating to see the direction that Toho took with their titular character and what strange biological mechanisms it uses as an irradiated mutant.
have u seen the video with sketches for ideas they may take this zilla? The idea is godzilla is trying to be the apex thru evolution. There were some sketches playin with the idea that zillla evolves wings. I think in the end of the movie we see the tail seperating and iirc theory is its suppose to split into many tiny zillas playing off the fact that despite zilla being one big monster, it still was brought down by the intelligence and numbers of many smaller beings. There was also an interesting sketch where at some point in ita evoline, it was a human shaped entity.
Yes please
i still remember being so impressed by how R is depicted by the actor actually sold the zombie turning into human pretty well
Twilight + zombies + Romeo and Juliet = a not so bad movie
The books are pretty good too
yah it really wasnt a bad watch
@@RoanokeGaming have you thought of doing a biology review on the varying species of vampires in Vampyr
@@honinakecheta601 there are books?!, Actually of course there must had been books this is during the teen dystopia novel era of cinema
@@Tarnthewarrior i second this. Pls do it, Roanoke.
I think there are concepts here that are very fascinating.
For starters, the zombies still think. That alone is interesting, but the fact they gain memories from the brains they eat is also fascinating. Imagine a zombie virus variation that actually allowed them to become more intelligent with every brain they eat, allowing for planning and societies, among other things.
Additionally, I remember seeing a trailer for this movie and thinking R's heart started upon his first sight of Julie. That made me think, until this very video, that having a shock to the heart would've allowed for his returning to a human state, which I would've found the most fascinating concept.
In other words, this movie would've been better if the zombies just needed a strong stimulation/shock to start the process of returning to life, and R's shock just happened to be love at first sight.
Never thought you would do this one
You are full of surprises sir
I've watched your videos all day to take my mind away from things as my nan passed away yesterday morning
My favourite video is your cloverfield one
Keep up the good work Roanoke we appreciate you bro
Im sorry to hear that brother, but Im glad the videos help relieve some of the down time
@@RoanokeGaming not only takesx my mind away but you go into detail it's also educating and I wish I did this in college but did animal care that was back in the day tho I'm 31 now
I know it's never to late but I find what you did and your knowledge seems way more fun 😊
Back
I don't know if you'll ever read this but I'll pray for you brother
@@ronniehopper2726 thank you so much brother
@@MrDeadlyMatt no problem
This movie puts in mind a zombie novel I once read called 'The Words of Their Roaring'.
The zombie infection in that book works something like this. An infected initially has a siezure, dies, revives, and starts eating people. And they stay that way for a long, long, looooong, time. But if an infected is around long enough, the infection stabilizes within them, and their brain begins to slowly fully reactivate.
The novel is about how this happens years after infection, and once the process completes a zombie is once again fully human in intelligence and thought, but the survivors who have lived in terror of the zombies for years ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS and pop zombies on reflex. So the first few zombies to complete this process are struggling to try and communicate to the uninfected that things are changing, and there soon won't be a reason to fear their kind anymore. That soon, the danger will pass and the world can rebuild, human and zombie together.
It's a really cool novel, I really suggest it.
I saw a recap for a show where the dead have come back to life and the main character is a boy who you later find out had committed suicide; i think they're all zombies, most are sapient but a few are affected negatively by it and turn violent
@@jbear3478in the flesh!
A great show! (British) comedy, action, deep feels. It's a bit of everything
That was canceled prematurely 😔.
This is the most surprising surprise, that you’ve ever surprised us with. ANOTHER ZOMBIE MOVIE!!!
hope you enjoy bro!
@@RoanokeGaming Oh I very much did, Your analysis is what makes these fun.
Congratulations, you catching onto it being Zombie! Romeo and Juliet put you ahead of 90% of people who watched the movie without reading the book (btw, a lot of your questions are answered in the book - they didn't leave with the car because they had zombie kids with them originally).
Seriously?? People didn't realize it was just.....wow
I didnt realize it. I just thought it was a cute cheesy movie though it makes a lot of sense now
Oh my god, the depth in which you went to figure all this out and craft into a convincingly plausible explanation is mindblowing. For the longest time I had trouble reconciling zombies with basic biological processes, and you just found enough scientific wiggle room to justify them. You deserve a fucking medal.
One of my favorite movies. A major physical effect of humanity losing touch with each other turning them into unfeeling monsters that cant communicate, saved by empathy and a love of art inspiring oneself. And good to dee an apocalypse movie with a happy ending (including salvation for some of the undead!)
In addition to everything you said I always assumed that the virus itself also had a response to certain neurochemicals that could actually break down the viral DNA in large enough quantities. And since all emotions including love are generated by neurochemicals I was always under the impression that because of our listening to music in addition to the extended amount of time the virus has been present in the body he had enough dopamine in his system to break down enough of the virus to allow the process to begin. So after enough time of the body building up antibodies even though it wasn't able to transport them and the correct stimuli from the outside providing the dopamine kick the process that you described could begin. But of course that was just my theory in addition to what you said because I thought it would be interesting that there could be a virus that actually has a weakness to the neurochemicals from positive emotion which wouldn't have hindered it during immediate infection because people would be feeling things like fear and despair upon becoming infected as well as explaining why they refer to the late stage infected as being individuals who gave up hope
that makes so much sense tbh
Oxytocin is colloquially know as the Love Neurotransmitter, and is released during social bonding, like courtship. Perhaps this is the cure hormone
So would that suggest that those with mental illnesses like depression would be more susceptible to becoming boneys faster as many with that illness lack proper dopamine production?
The reason why I liked this movie so much is that it's campy and weird on purpose, and it makes it hilarious. There are a lot of interesting aspects to it, as you've technically gone into in this video. It's similar to the "it's so bad it's good" phenomena, but not quite in the same way.
In any case, your exporation of how this infection could have worked is an 11/10. I'm poop at science, and even I understood it. Interesting as hell, too. ♥
10:14 I love (comedy wise) the concept of Nice Guy like Skeletons
I know it was a cheesy movie but it was still fun and sweet. I laughed a few times at parts that weren't supposed to be funny, actually some parts were cringe but not in an entirely bad way. Liked your zombie infection breakdown, as someone who loves zombies and how to survive and how infection would go.
Saw the title and went "Oh my god!" this was one of my favorite movies as a child, I'm excited to see a deep dive on it! ❤️❤️❤️
Hope you enjoy it bro!
Wait as a child? How... How old.. no wait I don't want to know 😭
@@RL-aWildDucky i was 11 when i first saw this film, i'm 20 now. 😅
@@h13n12 Stop! Why you making us feel old
ME TOO
While in Biology Processes and Interactions class, knowing all of the key terms, understanding core concepts, etc., these videos are even more fascinating, as I can follow along with the logic and make my own theories without coming to a misunderstanding that is later clarified by you. Truly incredible how deep this stuff goes.
Actually loved this movie really great the concept of zombies having feelings or still possessing the ability to understand
A very interesting idea tbh
This movie was honestly adorable as fuck. A product of it's time, but one of the actually enjoyable ones. Every time it gets brought up I haven't found a person that doesn't unironically like this movie. Thanks for covering it, never thought you would. XD
unironically this is one of my favorite zombie movies. its just different and while im not a huge romance person it felt very well done.
As a euro automotive technician, your comments on fuel going stale and BMW'S in general are spot on.I love picking things apart & you take it to a pro level. Cars and zombies? I'm riveted.
Yes! I remember when I watched the movie I had a sort of morbid curiosity with these. How that life cycle went, etc
And of course you cover it! Thank you!
i just watched this movie like 3 days ago and i honestly thought it was fun but man the amount of times i had to pause it and just question what is going on was wild like this raised so many questions out of me
Not gonna lie, I really like this movie. I like to think that the new neural connections being made cause the heart to start beating again due to needing oxygen (the brain).
I love this movie. It took 3 times watching to realize it was Romeo and Juliette... Also, in the book, the boneies act a little differently, but that just enforces the fact that they maintained hierarchy. They also married zombies together I think.
They did marry the the zombies together. And gave them kids.
MY GUY I had the exact same realization with R and Julie and the balcony scene! Likely the same reaction too! Amazing.
I always enjoyed this film for how weird and kinda funny it was. Different spin was okay in my book, glad to see my dead space bro covering it
12:49 I ended up buying this movie and after watching it over ten times I realized the whole R and Julie thing while watching this scene and my brain just exploded. When I call my then Fiance about it and was just "WOW, I just realized this!" she was just "Yeah, duh, you didn't get that the first time we watched it?" I felt really deflated after that... but I relieved the high through you just now! Thanks Roanoke! I wasn't the only one who didn't realize right away!
I like how this explanation takes into account biology but also totally backs the notion that it can be cured by love.
I’m like actually really happy to see this video and comment section, because I really enjoyed the movie when it first came out when I was a little kid, and I thought the concept was cool simply because it was a new, fresh idea on the zombie apocalypse! And I remember it made me sad when my dad was like…”nah I don’t like it I think it was stupid” and just generally seeing the poor reception of it. It’s silly but it warms my hopeless romantic heart thematically and makes my writer heart excited seeing a new take on zombies!
Can you do the aliens from the 2005 war of the worlds? I was always interested in the way they looked and evolved.
Yes!
@@RoanokeGaming Thanks! I can't wait to watch it!
@@RoanokeGaming hey can you do zombieland 1 & 2? The MZD seems like an good idea to learn about as well as how this disease spreaded in only 2 months
I love how this comment is wholesome but the title of that video is “most IDIOTIC alien species” lmao 🤣😂
This intro pretty much sums up my thoughts on this movie
Not a fan of romance or such but the zombies, particularly the bonies were fantastic, I loved the way the bonies were just these single minded abominations
Low key this is one of my favorite movies to put on in the background. It’s just so goofy I adore it. Thank you for covering it.
this entire movie can legit be described by the neuron activation meme in more ways than one
I'm glad you had fun with this one Roanoke, it shows. Really enjoyed it
Been waiting for an explanation of this one for a long time.
Hope you enjoy it bro!
Roanoke. In the most platonic way possible. I fucking love you. Ive read all the books save for the 4th book (because its a whole hassle to get a hold of). Youve made my week with this video.
Dude I just found your channel like 2 weeks ago and now look forward to every movie breakdown you make haha I love your science mix with humor approach. Please keep up the great work! I would love to see you break down the machine from Oblivion with Tom Cruise and your thoughts on it's origins.
From left 4 dead to killer clowns from space, man this channel does some amazing things trying to explain things we all sat and wondered if you watched or played what he is talking about. Keep of the great work man it’s super interesting
Thank you for dropping a video during Ian, now I have something to watch on my phone while my power flickers constantly! Cheers.
Stay safe out there bro!
I LOVE Warm Bodies, and I love your review/ breakdown. Your sudden Romeo and Juliet revelation never fails to be relatable or entertaining.
I unironically watch this movie at least 3 times a year. Guilty pleasure movie is not even close to how much this movie means to me 😂 great breakdown as always.
Honestly, I was one of those people that initially trashed this as “Twilight is taking over my Zombies now” until I randomly watched it. It’s a fun take on zombies in my opinion and your breakdown of the virus itself makes me enjoy the movie more.
I swear I watched this movies with my girlfriend last week and I was wondering if you would talk about this zombie flick in any of your video. And boom there it is. So cool
I was watching the movie with yall behind the couch
@@RoanokeGaming 😅🤣
I think this movie is pretty funny having at parts and has some interesting ideas. The whole romance zombie thing is whatever but I like when the zombies are trying to talk to eachother and just kind of trying to exsist as whatever they have become.
The zombies in this movies act like your average Portland drug addict, they can still think but are more likely to attack you!
Actually youre right
You've been a staple of my covid and post covid life my man, keep it up. This was an awesome vid
Really enjoy your vids my man. Thanks for the entertainment and education. I’m actually surprised how much I’ve retained from your vids vs years of college
Another really good zombie movie that also has some questions about morality, is “The Cured” it’s an Irish film that’s pretty unknown from my knowledge. It’s got a really interesting presentation of the zombie virus that would be cool to hear you explain.
Yesss I enjoyed that one as well. It's very similar to this one in some key concepts.
I love this movie lol. I wonder how other zombie movies would go if their zombies could be cured via ✨The power of love✨
I remember going to see this in theaters a long, long time ago. Completely forgot this existed, but I remember having a good time with friends and having a few laughs at some scenes. Excellent breakdown as always!
I truly enjoy all your videos, Dr.Roanoke. I look forward to seeing more of your infection videos. Also, can you do the Scourge of the Beast from Bloodborne?
15:23... "The situation has changed..." which, I like to think there's a lone soldier fighting for his life, and he hears "The situation has changed" without getting any clarification on it...
Hoooooly shit dude this made me spit my cereal out on my monitor. SUCH a damn funny thought. Well done.
This movie is such a product of its time. You just know it was made peak zombies every where, Twilight, Hunger Games, and whatever other dystopia ya novel was popular at the time.
Bring it all together and put it under an actual pretty cool concept
It's because the novel took off out of no where - Romeo and Juliet with Zombies was apparently a thing every one needed.
you know, there's a Lovecraftian based YA novel? "Dread Cthulhu lies dreaming... of her."
@@davivignola5895
Cthulu Saves The World had romance.
im gonna be honest im extremely dumb and only know what h2o means in science and some stuff here and there but every single time roanoke explains stuff even in a more scientific way i end up understanding it almost perfectly i feel ever so slightly more intelligent than before whenever i watch these vids keep it up man im really enjoying this
6:50 : Exactly! 😆
To me, this was pretty much a low key parody of 'Twilight', but using a 'non-sexy' monster (instead of the usual Vampires and Shirtless Werewolves 😏)
As to the 'Infection': I just considered it purely Magical in origin, since its cure was for someone to become Human again through "Love" (or Empathy at least).
We are all so used to zombie infestations being 'Infections', we forget that the original origin was magic based.
Another great video bro. Keep ‘em coming. On a side note on the killer clown from outer space videos when you said something about along the lines of a bunch of clowns otherwise known as you and your boys had me dying of laughter!
This video just awakened my memory of watching this movie
seems to be alot of that going around XD
ooh bro, finally got a full time jobbo so i don't have the time to watch (or pay attention to) your uploads. love it tho, literally everything you upload goes up on my list of things to watch - even the ones i've already seen before - i love the scifi flicks. keep it up, tyvm, peace!
Warm bodies EXPLORED.......giggity
Thanks for the content! Your work and humor is appreciated!
Awesome video, also I think it'd be really interesting to breakdown the vocal cord parasites from MG.
Has Roanoke done xenomorphs and neomorphs? Seems like the franchise that needs a video the most. Edit: ok yeah. HOW HAS HE NOT COVERED XENOS????
Also great video. I honestly really liked warm bodies. Thought it was a really good addition to the zombie genre. Could have used a second movie to explain some more about the world.
One thought about the bonies. We are told that they turn because they give up hope. What if its the other way around? Based on your observations, they would likely turn anyway and its just a matter of time. What if the giving up hope is a neurological symptom of the progression? They don't turn because they give up hope, they give up hope because whatever part of the brain that comes from is being affected by the progression.
After today and doing a bit of thinking, I've realized I like epidemiology and enter the field for it, thanks Roanoke .
I was honestly hoping you’d do this movie next, and it became reality lol
Honestly...I love this movie. As ridiculous as it is. I love it. I like different takes on over played genres
A second warm bodies movie would be awesome as like a totally different genre, like a detective movie with the zombie-humans and humans working together or smth
I dont know anything about Biology but this man makes me Understand it so easily as if im Downloading it into my Mind
If you haven't seen The Returned, another zombie movie that treats zombies as infected that can be cured as long as they keep taking the treatment. It's an interesting take on zombies.
This movie was an interesting twist of zombie film. I found it cute that it is R(omeo) Julie(tte) and M(ercucio) and love saved the day. Fun take on the genre.
I *never* ever thought Roanoke would make a review and analysis about this particular movie ! Nice!
Also I have some recommendations the hamsburg syndrome the puppet masters skyline the thaw the crazies fire in the sky mission to mars captive state red sky as well as day of triffids slither dark skies 2001s the lost world which was not a jp movie red planet the lifeforce
he already did the thaw.
Pretty sure some of those movies have already been done.
Also, use commas. :P
Those are all different movies aye? lol
@@RoanokeGaming indeed I had a list! though some of them like the lost world and the hamsburg syndrome are literally so unknown that they are thought off as legends

Always thought the main dude looked just like the lead singer of my chem
BRO THATS WHATTHAT WAS. When i was younger i went downstairs to say GN to my family and i saw the portion of this movie where the skeles are breaking the glass dome, and when i asked my parents about it, they said that there were two types of zombies in the movie, the good ones, and the skeley-boys. Bro this just restored a long dead memory.
Hey I don’t know if you covered this one before but you should cover the alien parasites or whatever they are from The Fifth Wave
11:55 “bitches, man” is the best quote of the movie
Hey roanoke can you look at the aliens from the xcom games and how they were altered with human genes?
Potentially!
@@RoanokeGaming yes please! If you've never played XCOM, please do! It is such a good game!
