’28 Years Later’: Death, Zombies, and One of the Year’s Best Movies

Sean and Amanda are joined by Chris Ryan and react to a myriad of different movie news headlines, including the Academy’s decision to give Tom Cruise an honorary Oscar, Glen Powell’s casting in an upcoming Ron Howard firefighter film, and the first trailer for Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere—starring Jeremy Allen White (3:54). Then, they unpack Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s highly anticipated zombie horror sequel, 28 Years Later. They celebrate its exhilarating filmmaking and the interesting decision to shoot on an iPhone, explore why Boyle and Garland compliment each other’s work so well, and consider where this ranks amongst Boyle’s filmography (22:22).
