7
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:35.759
<v Speaker 3>Take it Away Tonight, twenty eight years later. First off,

8
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 3>the original movie twenty eight days Later came out in

9
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.079
<v Speaker 3>two thousand and two. And I know math is hard,

10
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:42.920
<v Speaker 3>but this is twenty twenty five, so that's twenty three

11
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:47.000
<v Speaker 3>years later. Screw you for that, filmmakers. Oh the movie

12
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.079
<v Speaker 3>is set twenty eight years later. Whatever. Here's some of

13
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 3>the trailer.

14
00:00:53.240 --> 00:01:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Episode many dead, infected, non infected, and like, that's why

15
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:09.040
<v Speaker 2>Alphole is so precious. You know, I feel he's a

16
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:09.480
<v Speaker 2>bit young.

17
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:15.799
<v Speaker 3>He's ready, thinks you never once you walk onto that mainland,

18
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:18.120
<v Speaker 3>there's no rescue forming up.

19
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>And down again. You look at.

20
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:33.239
<v Speaker 3>What's in frons of you. That's cool, and you got

21
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 3>a lot of zombies chasing after people. The tons and

22
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.920
<v Speaker 3>tons of people watch the trailer. It's really good, it's

23
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:40.959
<v Speaker 3>really effective, and it uses I believe in old Redyard

24
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 3>Kipling poem. The movie set twenty eight are Let's get

25
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 3>caught up. Let's Get Everything Straight twenty eight days later

26
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.280
<v Speaker 3>was the first one, and it wasn't technically a zombie

27
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.799
<v Speaker 3>movie because it was about a rage virus that spread

28
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.680
<v Speaker 3>quickly among humans and made them act just like zombies.

29
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.000
<v Speaker 3>You don't have to listen to everything filmmakers tell you

30
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.359
<v Speaker 3>about their stuff. It's a zombie movie if you remember

31
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 3>that movie with Killian Murphy, who was one of the

32
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.000
<v Speaker 3>first ones that depicted zombies running like bats out of hell,

33
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 3>like Zack Snyder's Down of the Dead remake two years later,

34
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 3>and now the Fungus zombies and the Last of Us

35
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 3>on HBO.

36
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.159
<v Speaker 2>Sorry Max. These aren't the.

37
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.439
<v Speaker 3>Old, drunk looking George Romero zombies that shuffle around and

38
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:21.000
<v Speaker 3>move almost as slow as a slee stax from land

39
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.319
<v Speaker 3>to the loss. These guys run really fast. They run

40
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:26.120
<v Speaker 3>like they're being chased by ice agents and a strawberry

41
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 3>field twenty eight weeks later came out in two thousand

42
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:33.639
<v Speaker 3>and seven and scarred the Scottish actor Robert Carlyle, although

43
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.280
<v Speaker 3>it was focused more on his kids in that movie,

44
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 3>watchable not as good as the first one. This new one,

45
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 3>twenty eight years later is from the same team director

46
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.560
<v Speaker 3>Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, the writer of the first one,

47
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:48.599
<v Speaker 3>which is enough of a pedigree to get my ass

48
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 3>into a theater and not wait for it to show

49
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.759
<v Speaker 3>up on TV. Danny Boyle directed Train Spotting, slum Dog, Millionaire, Sunshine,

50
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Speaker 3>lots of others. The real draw for me is Garland,

51
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 3>who gave a civil war last year as a director

52
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.960
<v Speaker 3>and writer ex kind of Annihilation, Men and a great

53
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 3>mini series called Devs Haven't Seen Warfare Yet, which he

54
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.319
<v Speaker 3>also did, but that's on my list. These guys cranked

55
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.400
<v Speaker 3>out something worthwhile here. Lots of tension, filled with imagery

56
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:16.120
<v Speaker 3>that's beautiful and disturbing at the same time, and also

57
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.520
<v Speaker 3>not just more of the same old, same old after

58
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 3>decades of zombie trash, and still kind of has a

59
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 3>punk rock feel to the action. It's jarring, the cutting's frenetic.

60
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 3>It'll wake you right up if say you see it

61
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:29.680
<v Speaker 3>after work, very late at night in a nearly empty

62
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:33.159
<v Speaker 3>theater during the week. Here's the setup. All this time,

63
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.080
<v Speaker 3>after the rage virus and the berserk zombies, there's a

64
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.840
<v Speaker 3>community of survivors who live on an island that's only

65
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.039
<v Speaker 3>connected to the zombie infested mainland. By a causeway. And

66
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:44.800
<v Speaker 3>if you don't know what a causeway is, it's a

67
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.000
<v Speaker 3>little road or a trail that you can use when

68
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.800
<v Speaker 3>the tide's low and it's underwater. When the tides up.

69
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:54.919
<v Speaker 3>Causeways are scary. They're a great gimmick. Now, let's pause

70
00:03:54.960 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 3>for a new feature cause Mark's definitive list of the

71
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:07.240
<v Speaker 3>all time greatest causeway horror films The Woman in Black,

72
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.280
<v Speaker 3>the twenty twelve version, and the nineteen eighty nine version.

73
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.159
<v Speaker 3>If you're a fan of causeways, these are movies for you.

74
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.840
<v Speaker 3>If you've got a causeway, when it's high tide, you

75
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.800
<v Speaker 3>either can't get to someplace or you can't escape someplace.

76
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Got that.

77
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 3>Why hasn't Blumhouse made a movie called Causeway yet? Honestly,

78
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.720
<v Speaker 3>they've done more with less. And that was Mark's definitive

79
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:35.879
<v Speaker 3>list of the all time greatest causeway horror movies. Cause Okay, No,

80
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.959
<v Speaker 3>back to what we were talking about. Aaron Taylor Johnson,

81
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.680
<v Speaker 3>who was not banished to the island because of Craven

82
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:43.920
<v Speaker 3>the Hunter, is the dead of a little boy along

83
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.360
<v Speaker 3>with Jody Comer, who is very sick with something we'll

84
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.680
<v Speaker 3>find out later in the movie what it is. As

85
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 3>a kind of rite of initiation. ATJ takes this boy

86
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.879
<v Speaker 3>crossed the causeway to the mainland, which is under strict quarantine,

87
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.759
<v Speaker 3>to hunt some zombies. This is not a recommended father

88
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:01.360
<v Speaker 3>son activity. Play catch get the porn sharing app or

89
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.000
<v Speaker 3>shaming app that Mike Johnson and his son share, not

90
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:08.120
<v Speaker 3>zombie outings though. That's even worse than that mumblety peg game.

91
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:10.199
<v Speaker 2>Like that.

92
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 3>You remember your grandparents played with knives because they didn't

93
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 3>have toys during the Great Depression. I'm sorry, son, we

94
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.720
<v Speaker 3>couldn't afford a PS five for your birthday, so instead

95
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna get chased around by berserk carnivorous zombies while

96
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.560
<v Speaker 3>we're armed only with bows and arrows. Sound like fun.

97
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.399
<v Speaker 3>That's not all the movie, And yes, ATJ playing a

98
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:33.000
<v Speaker 3>crappy father does play a role in the story. Hey son, next,

99
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:34.959
<v Speaker 3>I thought we'd go swimming in the ocean at an

100
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.600
<v Speaker 3>La Beach. Don't worry about all this sewage. You want

101
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.480
<v Speaker 3>to build up a strong immune system. You see rape

102
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 3>finds in the trailer, and he plays a very strange

103
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.800
<v Speaker 3>survivor on the mainland, and he's only really in a

104
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 3>portion of the movie. It's not a cameo, but sort

105
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.279
<v Speaker 3>of like in twenty eight Weeks, the kids really the focus,

106
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:52.160
<v Speaker 3>and believe it or not, that doesn't ruin the movie.

107
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 3>We also get new alpha zombies in this which are bigger, smarter,

108
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.560
<v Speaker 3>harder to kill, and fairly well endowed. Lots of the

109
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.920
<v Speaker 3>zombies are naked, so yes, you will be treated to

110
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.920
<v Speaker 3>some zombie dong in the film, and or the movie

111
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:10.120
<v Speaker 3>almost tips into un like that, the movie almost that's

112
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.199
<v Speaker 3>got to be a first tips into comedy with what

113
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.560
<v Speaker 3>this alpha male can do to people that it catches. Now,

114
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.800
<v Speaker 3>without spoiling anything, all I'm going to tell you it's

115
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:22.800
<v Speaker 3>like the most hilariously brutal move from one of the

116
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:24.480
<v Speaker 3>Mortal Kombat video games.

117
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:26.199
<v Speaker 2>Now you got to see it in the theater.

118
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.560
<v Speaker 3>This is a really British movie and you can find

119
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.759
<v Speaker 3>some echoes of Brexit in how the UK's quarantined, while

120
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.600
<v Speaker 3>Europe seems to have dealt with the zombie problem and

121
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:36.720
<v Speaker 3>starting with Knight of the Living Dead in nineteen sixty eight,

122
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.839
<v Speaker 3>most of the good zombie movies were vehicles for social commentary,

123
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.199
<v Speaker 3>some better than others. Now here's some BS. A couple

124
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.360
<v Speaker 3>of weeks ago, I got a Google alert referencing a

125
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:47.800
<v Speaker 3>review I did of twenty eight weeks Later back in

126
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.160
<v Speaker 3>two thousand and seven, because now it's a hit again

127
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:53.360
<v Speaker 3>on streaming. It's an article from Slash Film which reads

128
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:55.160
<v Speaker 3>like it was written by an AI a lot of

129
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.079
<v Speaker 3>clickbait blather to say twenty eight weeks Later is doing

130
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.600
<v Speaker 3>well on Hulu, and it quotes critics from the New

131
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:05.079
<v Speaker 3>York Times and Chicago Tribune wetting themselves over how great

132
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:08.240
<v Speaker 3>they thought twenty eight weeks Later was. But then quote

133
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.680
<v Speaker 3>Mark Ronner of the Seattle Times wasn't in agreement. However,

134
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.439
<v Speaker 3>the writer evidently found the movie's social commentary to be

135
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:16.800
<v Speaker 3>as subtle as well at George Romarrow movie.

136
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Now here's the thing, I was right at this point.

137
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.120
<v Speaker 3>Nobody regards twenty eight Weeks Later as anywhere close to

138
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.079
<v Speaker 3>the original. The original filmmakers had nothing to do with

139
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.680
<v Speaker 3>that middle movie. I didn't go along with the pack

140
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:30.759
<v Speaker 3>at the time. And what this Slash film writer or

141
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.439
<v Speaker 3>AI meant to say was what clear insight Mark had then,

142
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.040
<v Speaker 3>when the bigger fish were acting like toddlers with a

143
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:40.519
<v Speaker 3>shiny object that said twenty eight years Later is a

144
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.079
<v Speaker 3>much better movie. Over and above all, the zombie Dong,

145
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.240
<v Speaker 3>You Get to See So Far, Sinners and Bring Her

146
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.720
<v Speaker 3>Back are the best horror films this year. This one

147
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:52.199
<v Speaker 3>belongs on that list, along with that Jim Jordan Ohio

148
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.000
<v Speaker 3>State wrestling documentary. It could be the first of a

149
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.199
<v Speaker 3>new trilogy if it does well. Sign me the hell

150
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.120
<v Speaker 3>up for this. Some trivia.

151
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:02.439
<v Speaker 2>This movie was on an iPhone or iPhones plural.

152
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.360
<v Speaker 3>Granted there are iPhones of all sorts of extra gear

153
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:08.399
<v Speaker 3>that you and I probably couldn't afford, but still phones,

154
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:10.560
<v Speaker 3>and it looks really good. I hate the way most

155
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.800
<v Speaker 3>digital movies look. I finally caught David Cronenberg's The Shrouds,

156
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.079
<v Speaker 3>and the digital photography, to me made it feel not

157
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:19.439
<v Speaker 3>like a real Cronenberg movie at all, just looked terrible

158
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:22.160
<v Speaker 3>and look at all this time later, most people can

159
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.560
<v Speaker 3>pronounce Killian Murphy's name. Twenty eight years later, Carlisle went

160
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.600
<v Speaker 3>on to be a Bond villain. Idris Elba became a

161
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.399
<v Speaker 3>huge star. He was in the Middle One. Imagen poots

162
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.159
<v Speaker 3>from the Middle One still has the best name in

163
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.480
<v Speaker 3>show business. That kind of sounds like farting but is

164
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:40.679
<v Speaker 3>completely unrelated. Jeremy Renner went on to nearly get disemboweled,

165
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:44.039
<v Speaker 3>not by zombies but by his own snowplow. Life comes

166
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:53.360
<v Speaker 3>at you fast like a snowplow. Mo. Tim Conway Junior

167
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:55.519
<v Speaker 3>is going to have half an issue with you, just

168
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:58.159
<v Speaker 3>half an issue, how so because you left out the

169
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.879
<v Speaker 3>d You know, I thought about that while it was

170
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:06.159
<v Speaker 3>ding this, the mobingos point of that activit, and I thought,

171
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:07.120
<v Speaker 3>just let it go, bark.

172
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:08.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't need to pick a fight with anybody I

173
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:11.559
<v Speaker 2>worked with. Yeah, no, no ding dongs, just just half

174
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:11.759
<v Speaker 2>of it.

175
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:16.320
