He was specifically asked about World War Z, and in general he thinks that zombie stuff isn't good unless there's an element of humor and fun snuck in there. His mindset in particular is EC comics oriented (he loved them as a kid), where there are bad puns and crazy funny things happening every so often. He didn't like World War Z because he thinks it had too much of a "straight face" to it.
