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.

What's up, you culty loons? This week on the podcast, I sit down with Scott Thomas to dissect one of horror’s most infamous remake showdowns—The Wicker Man (1973) vs. The Wicker Man (2006). We explore the allure of the 1973 folk horror classic, examining its themes of religious conflict, sexual repression, blind faith, and cultural relativism.

Then, the conversation shifts to Nicolas Cage’s wild 2006 remake—a film that’s equal parts psychological thriller, fever dream, and meme-worthy chaos. The episode dives deep into how both versions tackle community versus individualism, human sacrifice, and the symbolic power of ritual.

From the haunting folk songs of the original to the unforgettable “Not the bees!” moment, this discussion pulls apart the artistic intentions, thematic contrasts, character dynamics, and cult legacies of two very different films with the same burning finale.

Whether you're a purist or just here for the insanity, this episode offers a thoughtful journey through one of horror’s strangest cinematic rituals.

What's up, freaks? This week on the podcast, I tackle the legacy of Friday the 13th by comparing the 1980 original to its 2009 remake.

We begin with a breakdown of both films—Sean S. Cunningham’s suspenseful whodunit that introduced Pamela Voorhees as one of horror’s earliest female slashers, and Marcus Nispel’s grittier reimagining that transformed Jason into a brutal, territorial hunter. We discuss how the two films differ in structure, tone, violence, character archetypes, and especially in the portrayal of Jason—from a tragic child’s memory to a relentless predator with survivalist instincts.

Despite their differences, both versions share familiar slasher elements: the eerie setting of Camp Crystal Lake, the indulgent teen victims, and the iconic “ki ki ki, ma ma ma” score that still signals incoming doom. We explore recurring themes like grief, vengeance, trauma, and morality, while also unpacking how the franchise has evolved with the times.

Finally, we examine the franchise’s stalled cinematic future, the ongoing legal battle that’s frozen Jason’s return, and the hope offered by A24’s upcoming Crystal Lake prequel series.
