What makes the show iZombie different from other zombie-based stories? If you’re watching the show you probably have a good idea, but for anyone on the outside, the show’s title may confuse them with it seeming to encompass Apple branding. But since Apple and zombies are growing entities in pop culture, the actual synopsis of the show is quite brilliant. A TV show that basically pokes fun at the zombie culture, using its popularity as a plot device as opposed to a means to tell the same ole doomsday story that we’ve heard repeatedly.

We’re continuing with our interview-styled Let’s Plays on this week’s Nerdist Play, as we’re joined by Rahul Kohli–who plays Ravi Chakrabarti on iZombie–to chat about his show’s recent season finale, Star Wars, and growing up with video games. Rahul also does his best Ricki Lake impression and give love advice for anyone who’s ever been heartbroken. You’re not going to want to miss what he has to say about that!
