At the heart of a lot of John Hughes’ most popular movies from the 1980s, there was, broadly speaking, tension between an uptight geek and a jock or more extroverted guy. Jacob Zachar (Greek) and Jayson Blair (The New Normal) occupy those roles in Alex Craig Mann‘s directorial debut, Detention of the Dead. Oh… except the movie also features zombies, in addition to a handful of other at-odds high school archetypes. I recently had a chance to speak to the actors in person, about their experience making the movie, Blair’s most awkward audition experience (hint: it involves a most unfortunate impression of Spider-Man), and more. The conversation is excerpted over at ShockYa, so click here for the read.
