The one where we review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and Marty Supreme

This week, we’re surviving the apocalypse and dominating the table tennis court! Grab your paddle and your hazard suit because we’ve got a massive double-feature review for you.The Rage Virus is back, and it’s bleaker than ever! We review Nia DaCosta’s haunting and brutal sequel, The Bone Temple. Picking up right after the events of Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later (2025), this chapter follows Ralph Fiennes as a doctor tending to an ossuary of the lost, while Jack O’Connell gives a terrifying performance as a Teletubbies-obsessed cult leader. Is it the best entry in the franchise since the original? We’re breaking down that Duran Duran-fueled soundtrack and that explosive ending!Fun Flix Fact: While Danny Boyle shot sections of the previous film using iPhone 15 Pro cameras for a gritty look, Nia DaCosta shifted to the high-end Arri Alexa 35 for The Bone Temple, giving this sequel a much more cinematic and deliberate visual style.From the Safdie school of high-anxiety cinema comes Marty Supreme, starring Timothée Chalamet. We discuss Chalamet’s transformative turn as Marty Mauser, a narcissistic 1950s ping pong prodigy. It’s a dizzying, fast-paced dive into obsession, "orange balls," and 1950s New York.Fun Flix Fact: Timothée Chalamet didn’t just show up to play—he spent months training with professional table tennis players to ensure his "hustler" form looked legitimate on screen! Also, listen closely during the tournament scenes; that’s Robert Pattinson providing the uncredited voice of the British umpire!To tie into the virus-ravaged world of The Bone Temple, we’re stepping back 10 years to look at Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. We discuss how Alice’s final stand against the Umbrella Corporation compares to the grounded survivalism of the 28 Days/Years universe.Fun Flix Fact: The "Red Queen" AI in this film was played by Ever Gabo Anderson, who is the real-life daughter of lead actress Milla Jovovich and director Paul W.S. Anderson.
