'Resident Evil' Reactions 

Ben, Daniel Chin, and Joshua Rivera team up to break down the new Resident Evil movie reboot, cowritten and directed by Zach Cregger. They discuss how the film compares to Cregger&#8217;s previous work and the preexisting Resident Evil film franchise, where it falls on the horror-humor spectrum, Cregger&#8217;s approach to adapting the games, the prerelease fan response, whether the movie is better because it&#8217;s a franchise film, and their favorite set pieces, gags, and Easter eggs. Then, in a clearly indicated closing spoiler section, they briefly share their thoughts on the ending of the movie.
