THE CORNETTO TRILOGY COMES TO A CLOSE!! The World's End Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Visit https://www.liquidiv.com & use Promo Code: REJECTS to get 20% off your first order. With Tom Cruise starring opposite Simon Pegg in Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Greg & Aaron CONTINUE their Conetto Trilogy Marathon with The World’s End Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Greg Alba & Aaron Alexander as they return to director Edgar Wright’s madcap sci-fi pub crawl The World’s End (2013). Five childhood friends—self-described legend Gary King (Simon Pegg, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz), steadfast Andy Knightley (Nick Frost, Shaun of the Dead), meticulous Oliver Chamberlain (Martin Freeman, The Hobbit, Sherlock), quick-witted Peter Page (Paddy Considine, Dead Man’s Shoes), and ever-nervous Steven Prince (Eddie Marsan, Ray Donovan, Happy-Go-Lucky)—reunite in their hometown of Newton Haven to finish “The Golden Mile” pub crawl they failed to complete two decades earlier. What starts as nostalgic pints through the town’s legendary watering holes—The First Post, The Famous Cock, The Trusty Servant—soon turns surreal when Gary realizes every local is a shapeshifting alien “Blank” intent on assimilation. Highlights include the kinetic “Hole in the Wall” bar brawl, the raucous “Planet Music” face-off in the town hall, and Gary’s desperate, final stand atop The World’s End pub—blasting Metallica and descending into glorious chaos. Along the way, Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, Pride & Prejudice) appears as Gary’s ex Sam Chamberlain, and Bill Nighy (Pirates of the Caribbean, Love Actually) pops up as the eccentric curator Basil, each adding sharp wit to the end-of-the-world stakes. Don’t miss our deep dive into the film’s blend of friendship drama, genre-bending action, and Edgar Wright’s signature visual flair—plus our take on why The World’s End remains one of the most quoted, memed, and highly-searched cult comedies of the 2010s!
