About this listen
Greetings, folks! This week on the podcast, I'm joined by George Ivanoff as we take a deep dive into the apocalyptic trilogy that redefined modern horror—28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, and the freshly released 28 Years Later.
We begin by revisiting 28 Days Later, Danny Boyle’s 2002 classic that launched fast-moving infected into the genre and delivered a raw, emotionally charged vision of a crumbling society. The film's meditations on loneliness, moral decay, and the fragility of civilization still resonate, especially in today’s world.
Next, we explore 28 Weeks Later, a sequel that shifts focus from personal survival to institutional failure, showing how military efforts to contain the Rage Virus collapse under pressure, leading to brutal consequences.
Finally, we unpack 28 Years Later, a bold continuation that pushes the franchise into a post-pandemic landscape. Set decades after the original outbreak, the film centers on a new generation, examining tribalism, generational trauma, and hope amid a fractured, quarantined Britain.
