28 Days Later (2002)
Stash that Terry's Chocolate Orange and cover your damn eyes because we're discussing Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later just in time for its 23-years-later sequel!
Join us as we laud the film that popularized fast-moving zombies (yes, yes, we know they're "the infected") and kickstarted the sub-genre's resurgence in the aughts.
Plus: discussions of the film's aesthetic, Alex Garland's self-proclaimed "derivative script," male full frontal nudity, apocalyptic red flags, and *that* freeze frame.
