Sometimes
a zombie apocalypse is like basic training or freshman dorm assignments. People
get thrown together and have to make the best of it. Of course, Jo and Kat know
each other, but they are not so good at working with each other in an amicable
manner. They do not know bickering best pals Sunny and Amar from Adam, but
their fates become intertwined when zombies start terrorizing Birmingham in the
horror sitcom, Zomboat!, which is now streaming on Hulu.
Kat is the gamer with an encyclopedic knowledge of zombie movies, so she thinks she is well prepared for zombiegeddon. Jo is the girly, social media obsessed one, who is pretending to be over her ex, even though she is cyber-stalking and smart phone-tracking him. The thing about him is he owns a houseboat. Kat is convinced they can just sail it through the canals to London. Jo is not so convinced, but she doesn’t have a better idea. Neither do Sunny and Amar, who were hiding below deck.
At this point, zombie spoofs are nearly as abundant and cliched as straight-up zombie horror movies, so any newcomers must overcome a great deal of skepticism. Frankly, Zomboat probably sounds a lot like Cockneys vs. Zombies without the EastEnder accents, which it sort of is, but that film was a lot of film, so we could do far worse.
