ZombieHobbit

What it was

zombiehobbit.com was a blog and podcast that ran from 2009 to 2015. It was the home of Spiffing Review, a film-review podcast, and later Arms Race: Escalation, a video series — alongside film writing, trailers, and the odd foray into “It’s A Trap!”. Over six years it built up a run of episodes and posts that this archive now preserves in full.

Why it existed

It began as somewhere to publish reviews and podcast episodes on a regular schedule, and grew to carry several running series as the ideas expanded.

What I learned

The archive keeps everything — the early posts as well as the polished later episodes — because the honest record of how a project developed is more useful than a highlight reel.
