There is a reason Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead keeps coming up in conversation. Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Barry is a talented mechanic and family man whose life is torn apart on the eve of a zombie apocalypse. His sister, Brooke, is kidnapped by a sinister team of gas-mask wearing soldiers and experimented on by a psychotic doctor. While Brooke plans her escape Barry goes out on the road to find her and teams up with Benny, a fellow survivor – together they must arm themselves and prepare to battle their way through hordes of flesh-eating monsters in a harsh Australian bushland. The chemistry Jay Gallagher and Bianca Bradey bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead came out in 2014. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead is a strong candidate. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Jay Gallagher's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments.
