The text is a detailed summary of a Disney Channel Original Movie called "Zombies" and the speaker's analysis of the film. The movie is described as a strange allegory for racism in America, featuring a community of zombies living side by side with humans.
The characters are divided into two groups: zombies and humans. The zombies, who are depicted as regular people with pale skin and green hair, are walled off from the rest of the town and have to live in the slums. They are also issued government clothes and no longer have the urge to murder people, thanks to a device called the z-band.
The humans, on the other hand, are portrayed as the oppressive group, with the town divided into "human" and "zombie" sides. The humans hate anything different and are afraid of the zombies. The zombies are allowed to attend human high school, but they have to take classes in the basement and are not allowed up into the actual school.
The movie also features a song that introduces the concept of zombies having their own language and radical zombies like Zed's friend Eliza who advocates for zombies to rise up. However, the speaker finds the song and the scene of the zombies singing and dancing to be insensitive and tasteless, comparing them to images of oppressed groups in the American South desegregating for the first time.
The movie also explores the theme of integration, as the zombies are gradually allowed more privileges as they continue to win at football. However, the speaker criticizes the movie for its portrayal of zombies as slow and scary, citing the fact that cars exist in this world and they could just run over the zombies.
The speaker concludes by stating that the movie is a bad metaphor for racism and a poor zombie movie, criticizing its character development, plot inconsistencies, and musical choices.
