28 Weeks Later — When the Sequel Goes Bigger (and Dumber?) | The Binge Podcast

After redefining the zombie genre with 28 Days Later, Danny Boyle handed the sequel off to a new creative team — and 28 Weeks Later went bigger, louder, and far more brutal. The guys break down how 28 Weeks Later expands the scope of the Rage Virus, escalates the violence, and trades intimacy for spectacle. We talk about the film's unforgettable opening sequence, its controversial character decisions, and whether the sequel understands what made the original so effective — or completely misses the point. They debate, laugh, and argue — all while raising a glass (or more) of their favorite alcoholic beverage and toasting to cinema… and to surviving the franchise.🍸 The Binge Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/TheBingePodcast/ Joshua Ryan's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/MrMovieGuy86/
