TPToa Podcast 463 – Resident Evil (2026)

Resident Evil (2026) Few franchises have endured as many outbreaks, reboots, mutations, and corporate cover-ups as Resident Evil. What started as Capcom‘s groundbreaking (and genre defining) 1996 survival-horror video game became a multimedia juggernaut, spawning countless sequels, remakes, spin-offs, comics, toys, novels, and a long-running film series (technically two!) that has spent more than two decades proving that Umbrella’s OH&S department is really, REALLY shit. The 2026 reboot takes the franchise back to its horror roots. Directed by Zach Cregger and starring Austin Abrams, Zach Cherry, Kali Reis, and Paul Walter Hauser, the film follows an unfortunate courier whose routine delivery turns into a very bad night in Raccoon City. There are infected creatures, shady science, frantic survival, and plenty of knowing game references. This episode sees Dion and Jill attempting the improbable: convincing Quinny that Resident Evil (2026) deserves a second trip to the cinema (there’s a story there). Along the way they’ll discover if this is the adaptation Resident Evil fans have been waiting for, or just another mutated experiment from Umbrella Corp. (It’s funny that Umbrella seems nowhere near as evil these days… i mean its goals are positively humanitarian in comparison to half the multinationals out there…) So grab your herbs, inventory-manage your expectations, and join the team for another episode. Official Synopsis (IMDb): A hapless courier is tasked with delivering a package to a remote hospital. He soon finds himself caught in the middle of an outbreak and must fight through hordes of mutated creatures to survive. – IMDb. https://youtu.be/Umk1Xt2ZpYA A huge shout-out to the door-dashers and deliveroo drivers who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEST.
