Episode 288: F1: The Movie and 28 Years Later

🎙 Episode 288: F1: The Movie and 28 Years Later Brad Pitt in a race suit. Zombies with giant weeners. Welcome to summer at the movies. This week, Bob and Matt go full throttle into two new theatrical releases: F1: The Movie (dir. Joseph Kosinski) and 28 Years Later (dir. Danny Boyle). It’s speed, sweat, product placement, and apocalyptic confusion—buckle up. 🟥 In the first half, the guys break down the popcorn spectacle of F1, from Brad Pitt's CGI de-aging and swagger to the real-world logistics of filming between races. Is it Maverick in a race car? Or Talladega Nights with Euro gravitas? They debate the stakes (or lack thereof), gush over the cinematography, and question if this character is more Cliff Booth or Ricky Bobby. ⛔ At 26:25, they shift gears into 28 Years Later, where Danny Boyle brings back fast zombies, bone temples, and possibly the weirdest end sequence of 2025. Is this a Brexit metaphor, or just a gross-out fever dream? 🕒 Chapters: 00:00 – F1: The Movie – Maverick Meets Ricky Bobby 26:25 – 28 Years Later – Zombies, Brexit, and Bone Temples
