S02 E07 - Shaun of the Dead (w/ Ross Birks)

from Britcom Goes To The Movies · host Film Stories

Anger, Pain, Fear, Aggression….Watercolours and laughs! As we know from our special on Britain’s Best Sitcom, Spaced is in both Guy and Rob’s top 5, so neither could contain their excitement when it came to talking about Simon Pegg, Jessica Hynes and Edgar Wright’s seminal turn of the century pop-culture-reference-a-thon.   Skip to the end….but there’s more. Joining our very own Tim and Daisy was filmmaker Ross Birks, fresh from stealing a tank and trying to invade Paris, to lend his two penn’orth. We could have done a whole two hours on that, but of course, this is a movie podcast so what better than the film inspired by a short segment in an episode of Spaced, Shaun of the Dead?   The movie that spawned the genre Zom Rom Com was 20 years old at the time of recording and all three of our panelists made no secret of their love, quotability, and rewatchabilty of one of the most influential films of the 00s… despite itself making so many references to all three of the genres it drew from.   After a truly terrible showing in last week’s quiz, who would break the deadlock this week with Ross’ fiendishly difficult questions?   So let’s take the car. Go to Mum's. Kill Phil, grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, listen to Britcom Goes To the Movies, and wait for all of this to blow over.   Simon Pegg and Jessica Stephenson in Six Pairs of Pants https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-ZkItmbFiQ   Edgar Wright directed Asylum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhzHQfSkg0w   Mash & Peas – John Littlerichard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaGF5z4hyzY   Spaced – One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFoU_GG38Tc   Spaced – Clubbing Scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_wVOA_95QU   Spaced – The Matrix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5kLk9gfK_w   Comic Relief Blankety Blank https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUC4un_G5AA   Big Train – Billie Piper fanclub https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_3oU-Z4Vxo   Shaun of the Dead trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIfcaZ4pC-4   Shaun of the Dead record throwing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qHAOY7C1go   Shaun of the Dead – Prink https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cJvDtF1ios   Edgar Wright’s Don’t https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czR4qJbkSuc Learn more about your ad choices.
