Get in, gang. We’re going to Raccoon City. Sean is joined by Chris Ryan to discuss Zach Cregger’s thrilling follow-up to his mega-successful Weapons: the video game adaptation Resident Evil, starring Austin Abrams. Before diving in, they react to a handful of movie news headlines, including Noah Baumbach leaving Netflix for Warner Bros. Clockwork, Quentin Tarantino publishing a new Cliff Booth novel, and John Leguizamo joining Miami Vice ’85. Then, they giddily break down Resident Evil and gush over the countless reasons why the movie is absolutely incredible. Finally, they look into what the future holds for movie adaptations of video games, take a look at the history of horror-comedy genre mash-ups, and talk through why those films are so hard to pull off successfully.
