Commentary: Trek Stars 159: Scraping at the Door

Pegg, Part 3: Hot Fuzz.   Running Time: 39 minutes 56 seconds   In 2007, Simon Pegg re-teamed with Edgar Wright to create the second film in the Cornetto Trilogy, Hot Fuzz. Much like its predecessor, Shaun of the Dead, is to Zombie movies, Hot Fuzz is an homage to Cop movies, in all their forms.    In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, Mike and John look at Pegg's second screenplay, which he co-wrote with Wright. We discuss how the film compares to Shaun of the Dead, how it utilizes sub genres, and how it was promoted with Hot Fuzztivals. We also debate the merits of Nicolas Cage movies.   Chapters Hot Fuzz (00:00:45) Sub Genres (00:19:03) Wrap-up (00:30:44)   Hosts Mike Schindler and John Mills   Production Mike Schindler (Editor and Producer) C Bryan Jones (Executive Producer) Charlynn Schmiedt (Executive Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Norman C.
