Episode Description

Alex Garland, what you've created is one of the most insanely awesome things the Coolest Geek Alive has most recently seen! At no point in your tense, fast-paced, rooted zombie drama were you even close to anything that could be considered boring. Every listener of this podcast will be better for having watched your film. We award you all of the points, and may God bless your soul eternally. (Plus, BONUS Coolest Classics for “28 DAYS Later” w/ Cillian Murphy & "28 WEEKS Later" w/ Jeremy Renner! “Sometimes there’s a trilogy… I won’t say a masterpiece, ‘cause what’s a masterpiece? But sometimes there’s a trilogy. And I’m talkin’ about “28 Later” here. Sometimes there’s a trilogy that, well, it’s the trilogy for its time and place (over 28 years apparently) It fits right in there. And that’s the “28 Later” trilogy, for incredible director Danny Boyle & writer/creator Alex Garland! And even if the films are already beloved by millions – and “28 Days/Weeks Later” is indeed. But sometimes there’s a trilogy… sometimes, there’s a trilogy. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But – aw, hell. I’ve done introduced it enough.”)
