Episode 52: The Way Home 2 and Pride Prejudice and Zombies

Send us Fan MailTwo movies that couldn't be more different, but two movies I thoroughly enjoyed. After a dumpster dive into YouTube I chanced upon a bad Chinese zombie movie (The Way Home) that I had to skim, but then I learned of the sequel, well not really a sequel but same genre/writer/director I am guessing. Also not sure where the Home in The Way Home is, as in The Way Home 2 they are already at home, the zombie apocalypse has happened and widowed father of a baby Hu Bohin lives in a rotting tower block. He is smart though, using pulleys, and robots and cameras to provide for him and his baby daughter. Armoured doors, shelving units of water cooler jugs of water, all very smart. Until a woman enters their world.6/10 from meAnd it has been paired with Pride Prejudice and Zombies, starring the sort of cast that would grace any period drama, including the original Pride and Prejudice: Lily James, Sam Riley, Charles Dance, Jack Huston, Matt Smith, Sally Phillips, Suki Waterhouse, Lena Heady, and Ellie Bamber. A wonderful combination of a movie. It has the classic Jane Austin story of the Bennet sisters, Mr Darcy et al, combined with a zombie apocalypse, clever pre-rabid zombies, kung fu kicking petticoat wearing sisters, and lots of handsome jodhpur wearing men, and a lot of comedy. I genuinely laughed out loud half a dozen times. Give it a watch. And a well deserved 7/10
