End Credits #398 - July 2, 2025 (28 Years Later)
from Guelph Politicast · host Adam A. Donaldson
This week on End Credits, we're going back to the end of the world. It's been a long time since we tackled a zombie movie, whether the heightened or regular horror variety, but today we're going top shelf with the latest entry in Danny Boyle's series, 28 Years Later. Fitting since the topic this week has to due with the F-word, "franchises." This Wednesday, July 2, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: 21st Century Franchise (Not a) Draft. We will continue our countdown to the 400th episode this week by talking about the movie trend that has affected movie making in the 21st century the most: Franchises. This week we will look at some of the various franchises that proved so popular (and lucrative) in the last 25 years, from action hits to series based on young adult books, animated flicks, and, naturally, superheroes! REVIEW: 28 Years Later (2025). In 2002, Danny Boyle brought back the zombie subgenre with a story about a man who wakes up from a coma and walks out into the apocalypse. That was 28 Days Later, but now it's 28 Years Later. In this long-awaited sequel, Boyle returns along with screenwriter Alex Garland to explore the world of Great Britain 30 years after the end of their world and the outbreak of the Rage Virus. It's the first of a planned trilogy, so does 28 Years leave us wanting more, or have we finally had enough with the undead? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
