In addition to its lead Aubrey Plaza, Nick Offerman (the voice of the narrator in the Machu Picchu documentary) and Jim O’Heir (the mailman) both appeared in the series.

Kudos to Plaza alone for giving one wacky, committed performance that just barely saves this uninspired mess from total failure. Reilly, Anna Kendrick and Molly Shannon – to take part. The biggest surprise in this lifeless comedy is how writer/director Jeff Baena ( Horse Girl) was able to get so many established actors – Plaza, DeHaan, John C. The premise of Life After Beth has been done many times before – and much funnier. Dane DeHaan and Aubrey Plaza in Life After Beth. But he soon realizes she has changed, and not for the better, in this 2014 horror/comedy. That also reminds me of a thing I heard working at a call centre, that the middle-class Glasgow accent is the most soothing accent to be told bad news in.A despondent Zach (Dane DeHaan) is overjoyed when he learns his recently-deceased girlfriend Beth (Aubrey Plaza) has come back from the dead. The soundtrack does get more…grindy as it goes on. I think we took it one step further and actually made it sexual. Smooth jazz would be the only kind of music that zombies would respond to. So, his thinking was that zombies are just base level humans, just urges, so they would like the base level music. Even if you don’t like the music you have a physical response, or it makes you have a physical response. The thing about the movie is…there are so many weird little details that you might think were an accident, or that they came from nowhere, but he’s such a smart person that he has a reason for every single thing in the movie, and the smooth jazz part is because: he read a thing about smooth jazz a long time ago, in some kind of science magazine or something, and it said that smooth jazz actually calms humans down, which is why they play it lobbies of hospitals and waiting rooms, because there’s something about the tone of it that, um, it triggers some chemical in your body that makes you relax. His answer is better, but I’ll tell you what he says. Why does smooth jazz have that effect on Beth? Was that ever explained? What’s the real thing anyway? It’s not a real thing, so why not make it my own? Just do whatever I want to do. I…did not do research…because I didn’t want to copy anyone…as a zombie, and I’d never really- there’s never really been a movie where a zombie has so many human emotions and qualities…but I did think – in my head – that maybe I should watch… zombie movies just to get the physical kind of thing…but then I thought, ‘Any movie about a zombie is just making that shit up anyway’.
Did you do research the role? Watch other zombie films, or something with a monster/non-monster element, or did you just go with the script? Yeah, there was a writer from London came up and said ‘How are you all not constantly writing fantasy novels? Just look out the window’. It’s ridiculously beautiful, I mean, it’s like it’s out of a storybook or something. You kinda get used to it, but you constantly end up in new bits of it – to you – and remember ‘Oh yeah, we’ve got all this’.
