[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_02]: But Danielle, tell us about Shawn of the dead.

[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Shawn is a 29th something, loser.

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_04]: With a dull, easy existence.

[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_04]: When he's not working at the electronic store, he lives with his slavingly best friend Ed in a small flat on the outskirts of London.

[00:02:44] [SPEAKER_04]: The only unpredictable element in his life is his girlfriend Liz, who wishes desperately for Shawn to grow up and be a man.

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_04]: When the town is inexplicably overrun with zombies, Shawn must rise to the occasion and protect both Liz, his mother and all of their friends.

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_04]: The movie stars Simon Pegg, K. Ashfields, Lucy Davis, Nick Frost, Dylan Moran, Bill Nye and Penelope Wilton.

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_04]: The movie was directed by Edgar Wright and written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright.

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_04]: You can currently watch it on peacock, but before we start, let's get into our ratings rewind.

[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_02]: You know the drill. Before we get into the movie, we'll reveal the rating of our Y2K versions of ourselves we give, and at the end, we'll see if our current solves agree with our initial rating.

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Our skill consists of, would buy it would buy it again?

[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_02]: The best would plan repeat.

[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_02]: 5 day rental.

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Would watch again.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_04]: 2 day rental.

[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay, but nothing right home about.

[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_04]: And same day rental.

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Rowan the bin.

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_04]: It's rubbish.

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_04]: I, my British accent sucks.

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Marley, what is your Y2K rating of Shawn of the Dunn?

[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Shawn of the dead was kind of a weird movie for me like in the early 2000s.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I remember really liking it, but during this time it was British humor, it didn't really hit for me.

[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_01]: It took later in life for me to like see Edgar Wright's like brilliant filmmaking, and like I think this is probably the best script from the Cornetto trilogy.

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_01]: But I think I would go 5 day rental.

[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Like I appreciated this movie at the time, but I didn't understand it's brilliance.

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Jackie?

[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like I've seen this.

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_02]: But I didn't remember anything that wasn't like a pop culture reference and like memes or on TikTok instead.

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'll go 2 day rental for Y2K Tricky.

[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_04]: I own this movie.

[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_04]: We know I'm not a horror girl, but I, I really like this movie.

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_02]: So like British humor.

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_04]: I do very much.

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_04]: So it was a wood buy for me.

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Nice.

[00:05:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_04]: All right.

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's get into the box office.

[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Why don't you hit us with the facts, Danielle?

[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_04]: This movie had a 6 million dollar budget, and it made 38.7 million dollars worldwide.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, it did pretty good.

[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_04]: A lot of, a lot of pounds.

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_04]: A lot of chitters.

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_04]: So the movie was inspired by art, which is an episode of Femin Peg in Edgar Wright's sitcom.

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_04]: So they did a sitcom called Space.

[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_04]: And it was written by Peg and Jessica Hines and directed by Wright.

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_04]: That episode involved Peg's character hallucinating a zombie invasion after playing the video game,

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Resident Evil 2 while under the influence of and Fedamines.

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_04]: So interesting.

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_04]: So both Peg and Wright had like a mutual appreciation for George A. Romero's dead trilogy of zombie films.

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_04]: So they decided to write their own film and then in like late 1999, they conceived and pitched the film.

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Two film four who took it on until their production budget was cut back.

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Despite this, Wright was still invested in the production and refused to take other television directing jobs until Sean of the dead was made,

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_04]: which left him in quite a bit of debt for a while.

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_04]: And then according to Wright, other companies passed on it because they weren't sure what the tone was and said it wasn't all that scary and not that funny.

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_04]: They didn't get it.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_04]: So after 18 months working title films, picked the project up, which Wright felt was ironic as the film mocks the classic British rom-coms that working title produces.

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_04]: The film was then announced at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival.

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_04]: And then like magic, we got it in theaters and they did really well.

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_04]: So both the American critics, Roger Eber and Robert K. Elder said that the film brought something more to the zombies genre.

[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Eber wrote that he was by now more or less exhausted by the cinematic possibilities of killing zombies.

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_04]: And so he was glad for what Sean and the dead brought to the table outside of this, writing that instead of focusing on the undead and trying to get the last there.

[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_04]: It treats the living characters as sitcom regulars whose conflicts and arguments keep getting interrupted by annoying flashie-tours.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_04]: I thought though. It's pretty good.

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_01]: It was pretty accurate.

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:07:49] Mm-hmm.

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Before we get into the casting crew, let's hear a message from our podpiles.

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Can I get a good A?

[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't skip.

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Let me interrupt the podcast that you currently listen to with some blatant self-relation.

[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_00]: What do you get when you mix two Aussie mates, a splash of booze, or more than a splash?

[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_00]: And some microphones?

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_00]: He gets cheers big ears.

[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Hose it by myself, the chat, and my mate Matt, and sometimes, but more often than not now, my misses Bobby.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a podcast of adult beverages and not so adult conversation.

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_00]: It's not serious, far from it.

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, except for that one episode, but that was just that one.

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_00]: We're available wherever you get your podcast fix.

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Cheers, big ears.

[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Alright, Jackie.

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Cast and crew.

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_02]: So the film's cast features several British comedians, comedy actors, and sitcom stars,

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_02]: who are most prominently from space, black books in the office and co-stars, other actors from the same shows.

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I was very excited that like 90% of this cast has been on Doctor Who.

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm like literally looking at all of them figuring out which episodes.

[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Like Nick Frost, Bill, the woman who played his mom.

[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like...

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know, but I know sure.

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_04]: He's better than you.

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_04]: I love Nick's episode though.

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's something I need to get caught up on.

[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Doctor Who.

[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Love it.

[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_04]: What else?

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, he has.

[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh yes, okay.

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_02]: He played the editor in the 2005 episode The Longing.

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Hmm.

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And he also narrated the first series of The Making of Documentary series, Doctor Who confidential.

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Look at that.

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_04]: What I think you might find interesting, Marley, is that the filmmakers originally approach Helen Marren to play Sean's mother, Barbara,

[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_04]: which she turned down with the note that she would rather play other funnier characters, which come Helen.

[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Now, we know Helen has a very interesting taste because clearly she loves being part of the family.

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_04]: In the fast, the furious series.

[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I think she just likes driving fast cars, but that's just me.

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_04]: And then we found out when we're doing our dodgeball episode that that's like one of her favorite movies.

[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_04]: So maybe she just likes really slapstick American comedy.

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_01]: She knows she's also a national treasure to book her secret.

[00:10:34] [SPEAKER_01]: So maybe she's like, treasure hunting as well.

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_04]: So wait, we all know because I'd be looking for my girl every time where she is.

[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Where's my rush more?

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_02]: So, Frostbite Pague when he was working as a waiter and was brought aboard space despite a lack of acting experience.

[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_02]: And Frost explained that Sean and Ed had a dynamic similar to that of Simon and himself in real life as they had been living together for years.

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_04]: I like how Frost has become like, so much better with his acting skills like he wasn't bad in this but it's just like night and day,

[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_04]: and compares into some of his other roles.

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_04]: So it's like there's a show that I used to watch that was on AMC that he randomly was in.

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_04]: I was like, why is he in this but I'm really happy about it.

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_04]: God, what was it called?

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, what's interesting to about Nick Frost and Simon Pague is especially like in the last movie of the Coronado trilogy.

[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Sean of the Dead is the first part of the Coronado trilogy.

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's in the world's end, which is the third movie.

[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's when Nick Frost kind of turned a corner of it.

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, hey, I can do other things besides the sloppy best friend.

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_01]: This sloppy best friend, yeah.

[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_04]: The unreliable best friend, I guess.

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, he's played so many diverse different roles.

[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_04]: He's great as like a good guy, as a bad guy, as a morally ambiguous character.

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Even his character in Hot Fuzz, I don't think it's like, it's necessarily like a sloppy character.

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a sloppy best friend character.

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_01]: It's more a little bit like amateur.

[00:12:26] [SPEAKER_01]: He hasn't seen so much because he's lived in the small towns.

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_01]: So each character de plays that this trilogy he's evolved.

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, all of the news raiders and television presenters are real people portraying themselves.

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_04]: I love when they do that because then it's like, as you're watching it, you're like, oh, that's my new person.

[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Add some familiarity to it.

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I feel like everyone watched it during the pandemic.

[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Like when the pandemic started, because it like when you think back of the pandemic,

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_04]: I think our brains so want us to like have stability.

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_04]: So it's like you can't even really think about how fucking wild it was, that it was a scenario like rewatching this movie.

[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Totally different perspective because like this should as real now like it's not a fantasy.

[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_04]: We went through a fucking pandemic.

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_04]: We're still in it and still trying to like pretend it's not happening, I guess.

[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_04]: So it was it was wild to watch this movie and have that context that we didn't have when I watched it the first few times, you know, yeah,

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_01]: really any zombie content. It's really hard to consume down after what we've been through for like the last four years.

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_04]: All right, let's get into the movie.

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so Sean of the dead starts out where we're introduced to Sean play by some impreg.

[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_02]: He's at the local pub, the Winchester with his girlfriend Liz played by Kate Ashfield.

[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_02]: And there haven't like they're having this serious conversation and she's like it's not that I don't like Ed.

[00:14:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And Ed's like standing right there and he's just like whatever.

[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And then Sean kind of has a similar reaction about Liz's two friends, is it Diane and that shit hole.

[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_03]: David, right?

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_03]: He's such a shit.

[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_01]: David or Harry Potter as Edgar Wright calls him in.

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_01]: David, commentator.

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_02]: So Liz is just lamenting about like they do the same shit every day.

[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_02]: They go to the pub hang out with their friends.

[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Their relationship has just become mundane in style and she wants Sean to want better for himself and kind of wants their own space away from their flat needs.

[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And Sean's like, what have been with Ed forever.

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_02]: And so he's not getting it and so Liz is like, peace.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_04]: I love how in the beginning as a viewer you're questioning like what the hell Liz sees.

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Sean and then the progression throughout the movie, you kind of see those qualities come out.

[00:15:27] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's not just Liz like a lot of people in his life are really trying to push him to grow up.

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_04]: He has a real flat mate that actually pays rent and is supposed to live there.

[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Name Chrisman.

[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I guess, Chrisman.

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_04]: And he's like you need to grow up your bestie here isn't helping.

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_04]: He's holding you back when you down and then he has this like very tumultuous relationship with his stepdad who he just has a feeling like his stepdad is always disappointed in him.

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_04]: And he's constantly saying all like that's not my dad and you know, so that's not going on.

[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_04]: His mom is kind of living with like rainbow color glasses situation but she wants to see him married and and doing better for himself.

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_04]: So like Liz is not the only one. Like everyone's pretty much like Sean grow the fuck up and even at work he has the kids that he has to.

[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_04]: You are kind of looking at him like bitch, how can you tell us what to do but when you are old as fuck and you're not like you're going to work here forever.

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Like what's going on, you know.

[00:16:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I think about it. I love most about like this opening scene is like I mentioned like at the first part, Edgar I is just a master set up and pay off like this, this opening conversation between like these friends.

[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_01]: It's really it's really Edgar and son and pay because you also co-wrote it as well.

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_01]: That it's just them setting up everything just really, really without unnecessary exposition and I don't know, I just think it's really great writing.

[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_04]: And I love that like through the course of Sean's day because you see him get up, you meet his bestie who's a fucking mess.

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_04]: The house is a mess like you're already seeing the situation you see Ed, but like throughout the course of him throughout his day of him leaving to go to work going to the store all that stuff every single person that you meet or see even in the background.

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_04]: They end up showing up again later when the zombie apocalypse happens so that's kind of cool like little Easter eggs to see the people as he ran into them in the beginning in this scene.

[00:17:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And you start to see weird things happen like he notices a lady falls down at a bus stop and like people are trying to help her and so we start to see the first rumblings of a zombie apocalypse happening.

[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I do really like when he's at his when he's at the electronics store he does say ashes and they're the weather and I'm like, oh, like from evil dead so along with the dead trilogy that they pull a lot from there's other sprinkling and playing homage to other zombie movies as well.

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, they were inspired by night of the living dead, Donna the dead, raising Arizona back to the future brain dead and the birds your favorite movie Jackie.

[00:18:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Woo. Thank you.

[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Also, it's what's interesting is when they came up with the film.

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_04]: It was right while he was writing in a cab with peg after they filmed a zombie that zombie episode and then he said another influence was from rights like that came from how he missed the 2001 foot in mouth epidemic.

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_04]: By simply not having paid any attention to the news for a fortnight and turned his television on one day to see cattle being burned, which left him confused.

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_04]: I was doing this right said it's totally plausible that the world could be ending and these two guys could be the last to know as they also skip over the news on television in the film.

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Which I very much relate to because my family knows that I don't watch traditional news at all. I'm not really paying attention. So Sheila is always the person that has to tell me there's a hurricane coming or something big happens like I don't I never know she was the person who told me about 9.11. I was getting ready to go to class. She called me and she's like.

[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Turn on the news. I was like, I'm going to be late and she's like bitch. Turn on the TV.

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_04]: I would have like I could have probably gone. I mean once I went to a conversation they would have said something but like I know fucking idea.

[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_01]: That's what I'm talking about.

[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just going to flip through or flip through the channel. It's like it's I just love like how every single channel that you flip to it's like kind of clueling, clueling at the audience and and shone in like oh shit is really going down.

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_04]: That was information we need. I like that this movie never tells us what the cause of this like epidemic is.

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. Also kind of plays into you know how to this start and I mean I think what's zombie movies because we are informed we've seen others zombie movies.

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_04]: We don't even need to know how it starts. You just tell us this zombie situation happening really yeah plausible makes sense.

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Are they going to start? Right. People are infected and they want to eat my brain so I'm running away.

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_04]: We just need to know the rules. How do you kill them? How like you Jackie said how fast are they how smart are they because there's levels to this.

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_04]: And can you follow me?

[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Can you follow me?

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly. I love how someone asks some impague one time and I'm totally paraphrasing and probably watching it. Why they chose slow zombies over fast zombies and he's like just because you turn into his on me doesn't mean you drink an energy drink right.

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_04]: He's like no there's slow for reason right there literally brain didn't I'm just surprised like some zombie movies they can smell people and that's how they get you because they want you're and they usually want your brains but these zombies were really like gut and bitches literally.

[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_03]: They just wanted body parts yeah.

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_01]: And just let's just be glad that these zombies couldn't smell anyone because I know just calling back to Danielle's like you guys characters Bay.

[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_01]: They don't.

[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_01]: And he said you could thank God this movie didn't have smell division because.

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_04]: And doesn't bathe and Sean fucking didn't bathe they went on a bender after Liz breaks up with him and he's still I was like okay did he shower did he change his cloak but I saw that the area where the pen had leaked and I was like bitch didn't shower and then there's another.

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_04]: And then when you see him go to the bathroom at one point to I don't know what the fuck he went up what he was doing up there I think oh he went to the bathroom.

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_04]: The he washes his hands and I said I know he didn't use soap.

[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_04]: I know it.

[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_04]: I just see water and that's it the water doesn't even look soapy in the slightest.

[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Well in Nick Frost allegedly kept his general shave throughout the production to create a genuine need to scratch that the character demanded.

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_04]: That's I mean that's dedication to the craft.

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I did I don't think he needed to do all that but all right and that the like in the opening scene where it's Ed and Sean and they're both sitting on the couch.

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's I think it's one that other flat mate comes in.

[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah and Ed scratching his balls he's actually that's Nick Frost actually scratching his balls.

[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah according to Edgar right according to Edgar right.

[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Well that the acting love it.

[00:24:55] Yep.

[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah so like Daniel said Liz is sick of Sean's shit he's supposed to book a nice dinner for them just the two of them to go out.

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_02]: And he can't even be bothered to do that to put busy playing video games.

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_04]: I just feel like he's distracted like he's he's almost like he daydreams or something or I don't want to say 80 people like he cannot focus.

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_04]: It's like this is much to do a lot yeah.

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Well no like I I don't want to say I completely related to Sean at this point but I've like especially in college like I had a best friend that would like.

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_01]: We played video games we smoked weed like like all day every day and we you would just forget like the responsibilities they would have like throughout like throughout the day and then luckily I was just like no what I can't do this anymore.

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah you got to move on but you can't the thing that I know we'll get into it but the thing that I love so much about like this movie is that is that just because

[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_01]: you're moving on it doesn't necessarily mean that you completely have to abandon like those friendships and well I'm sure we'll get into it but it's that's what I love most about this bit so.

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Definitely so Sean is very distraught and so he goes to the Winchester their local watering hole with Ed to drown their sorrows and so they get hammered and they like there's in the scene they're just talking shit about the people.

[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_02]: And the bar and like I don't know if they're just making stuff up about them like back story like didn't your likes to do or if this is actually.

[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Who do you people are yeah but they're like talking really lovely and pointing.

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_02]: But I know you're talking about them.

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_02]: They're too wasted to care yeah so they stumble home pass out Sean wakes up hungover and is it Sean or Ed that needs a coronado.

[00:27:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Is it it's Sean?

[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_01]: It's Sean because that's when oh it that they have a conversation right like well Sean goes from the shop so.

[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah Sean goes every morning apparently.

[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_04]: But instead like I was confused because when they got hammered they were.

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_04]: They were playing music and their flatmate was like what the fuck it's like three in the morning and it's Sunday they're like it's the weekend but he was like and Sunday and I have to go to work in a few hours so I'm.

[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm guessing it's Sunday night.

[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_01]: No it's it's Sunday night.

[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_01]: It's Sunday night and he has to go to work in a few hours and they're like this is another thing that Edgar and Simon Pegg just like peppered into the script.

[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_01]: He says that everyone cold out from from work because they're sick so I have to cover for them.

[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like that's like especially on a rewatch I was like wow this is brilliant like just every little thing that he's peppering.

[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Just clinging in the audience like and I think even like his flatmate he has like a bandage on his hand and then that's when Ed actually says like oh what happened your hand and like oh I got mugged.

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_02]: And then you know I got bit by a crackhead.

[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Like I love that every single character because like a zombie situation is so out of their realm that they wouldn't even think they're not thinking anything.

[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_04]: So like like you said Sean is seeing all this weird shit happens happened and doesn't say what the fuck's going on he's just like wow lot of weird shit happening you know.

[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_01]: When you sit Jackie when you're describing them like stumbling home one of my favorite parts like the thing where I busted up laughing.

[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Is like when they're stumbling home and they see like the zombie in the background and they're like singing that song like doing that dude do do do do do do do do do.

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_01]: This this zombie just starts.

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's like another thing that Ed you write does super well he likes to sink stuff like sink like audio stuff with like everything that's going on which we'll get into.

[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes, yes, really.

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah.

[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Sorry I had to mention that you're good so this is when he decides he needs a tornado which is actually inspired by.

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I think you're right because he wants to eat a coroner to get over hangover so he thought it would be funny if they did the same thing after a night of drinking and then this burden.

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_02]: The with is referred to as the unofficial three flavors coroneratrylogy which I was telling Amber she's guessed it on the pod before that we were doing this movement she's like oh how many of the coroneratrylogy you're in your time frame and I'm like the what now.

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Only one.

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_02]: The only get one I did not get the reference so but the red wrapper which is strawberry flavor makes an appearance in this movie because red represents the blood and zombies and then hot fuzz it was blue and vanilla representing the police and then world then is green and peppermint representing sci-fi and extraterrestrial elements.

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a method to his mess.

[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_04]: So we only get this one because it's in 2004 hot fuzz comes out in 2007 so it's out of our range and then world then is 2013 so.

[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_02]: When Sean gets back just like there's a girl in the garden like.

[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_02]: We see that every day.

[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_02]: So they go out on to to see what what the deal is there's still really not registering that she's a zombie.

[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_02]: She starts attacking them and he just Sean pushes her and she falls into like an umbrella stand.

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_02]: And there's like push it we just killed someone but then she gets up with like this giant hole in her stomach and that's when it finally clicks like.

[00:31:20] [SPEAKER_04]: She's like shit's fucked and as as a viewer throughout this movie.

[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Like it's not a full horror movie but the tension as an audience member is there because you're like.

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_04]: They don't get real weapons they start throwing fucking records.

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_01]: To to in defense of Sean and Ed like if this were in a zombie apocalypse.

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Like and you didn't have any weapons near you would you just grab anything that like you would grab a cricket bat or like grab records and yeah.

[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_04]: The cricket back in the shovel made sense yes and they had it so it's like why did you not get that instead of these.

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Records will in before the records they just full laundry basket with random mash it like a toaster like some.

[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Bolds like I was like what are we doing guess right.

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know which just because like I always have a mental plan for any and everything so I'm like I know what I'll do when it's on me apocalypse.

[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah like fire yeah acts knives.

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean shovel because you can it with enough force you can pop someone's head off.

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah like what are we really doing or just setting.

[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Setting traps like home alone like I'd be digging holes in that motherfucker back yard.

[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_04]: With leaves over it and boom got a bitch ditches.

[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I would be doing the most because you ain't gonna get me you and we find out that the zombies figure out that people are inside based on like sound of like.

[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Right so like why are we not just going upstairs in the bar then they can't hear you.

[00:33:30] [SPEAKER_04]: And you're going or going to one place and just turning up the music having it locked up and leave it so just attracting them so that you have a distraction like.

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_04]: I kind of understand because.

[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Look as much as we like to say we would do this in that you there is this kind of thing that happens when you are in a real situation and you're just like.

[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_04]: It's like it's so unreal that you don't know what's going to happen but again they make really dumb decisions because one is a comedy but two this is how you get the heightened anxiety as a viewer.

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_04]: With this whole situation like that's what makes it feel almost for us because you're scared for their safety because they're fucking stupid.

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_01]: They're they're fucking stupid and also I love how the zombie initially gets into like their shonanets house just walking through an open door.

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's what makes says you love the door open.

[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Just repeating like he just kept repeating himself and the fact that they almost died because his zombie walked in almost.

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Eight their brains.

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm just confused why their friend doesn't come downstairs because he's in I guess maybe he died in the shower and like that's when it finally turned because.

[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_04]: I would have just imagined that he would have come down by then but we find out later because after they fight try to fight off these other two there in the house.

[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_04]: They that's when shon goes upstairs to pretend to wash his hands after using the bathroom and then he sees his friend.

[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_04]: As a zombie and they could stop me and he's like I got here so this is when they make a plan because his mom calls him and it's like, hey your dad's not.

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Feeling well and this is of course shon's like the song I did and she's like he's like you, I get out of there but his mom is like nah right or die that's my husband.

[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_04]: In what do you talk about and he knows his mom apparently she doesn't want to move either because she don't know what the fuck's going on.

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_04]: So shon's like okay I got to make a plan so he tells Ed we're going to take the car we're going to go to my mom's house get my mom.

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Kill my step dad and then we have to go get Liz and Ed such a dick he's like why do we need to get Liz she broke up with you.

[00:36:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Man we're not we're in a horrible situation like.

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_04]: We have to go safe Liz and quit it.

[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I do like that shon actually says like even though she did break up with him it's just like he still cares about her like it's it's it's not like oh she broke my heart type of things and movies.

[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want anything to deal deal with there.

[00:36:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Well also he's in denial he's like we're getting back together he doesn't believe her.

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_04]: He even has an on a whiteboard get Liz back so he's like not even accepting that they're broken up I think that's like.

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_04]: There hasn't even been enough time for it to be real for him.

[00:36:51] [SPEAKER_01]: He still has a chance.

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, still has a chance there's still a chance.

[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah I love when he gets to mom's house mom's just like we're waiting for the doctor it's fine he's just a little under the weather and then she asks him if he's hungry he's like no she's like okay I'll make sandwiches like she just.

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_04]: She got her mom routine down she has she's like I'm too stressed and he looks at a stepdad and realizes that is stepdad it's still pretty coherent but his his his arm is like in a sling so we as the audience are questioning if like he just had some sort of fall or something or if he really has been bitten by a zombie.

[00:37:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and he tries to convince his mom he's like how much you love this man because I think we need to leave him.

[00:37:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Because again he's trying not to tell her because he thinks she's going to panic or whatever she plays this actor's plays.

[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Like a loof and.

[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't even.

[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_04]: And now it'll be well then she plays this role to a tea yes that she's completely disassociated she lives in another magical world and.

[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_04]: She's but she also screams at Sean because he says he says that is he says that fill up his stepdad has touched him and his mom's like what is like okay I'm lying.

[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Mom and and Philip have been married for 17 years. This is not a new man in Sean's life.

[00:38:26] [SPEAKER_02]: His man has been around for most of your life.

[00:38:30] [SPEAKER_04]: He was like 12.

[00:38:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but Sean's dad died so I think he just.

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Has a lot of animosity plus him and his stepdad just kind of like bump heads and they're very different and his dad his stepdad is very like hard on him.

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_04]: He has a lot of expectations he's trying to push on.

[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_04]: So I think that's one of the other reasons like Sean just feels like Philip doesn't really love him so it's almost like he's rejecting him because he feels rejected and somewhere you know.

[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think his dad is also like or stepdad is also very disappointed him as well because like Sean is like like he's like a slob living with like with this kind of like toxic best friend.

[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_01]: He's working retail selling TVs and like computers and he's got to be in debt. Like some I don't think there's no way he's making rent like every single month and still working that weird retail job where I guess he's a manager.

[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_01]: But but it's also not very good at this job.

[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Not in the slightest. I think his Philip just has expectations he believes Sean could could do better but I do love that it has the sub plot going on because he's really excited to drive.

[00:39:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Chrisman's car but once they get to Barbara and Philip's house his Sean parents he realizes that Philip has a it was a Jaguar.

[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, a green Jaguar because that's all I know.

[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Green and now in Ed's head he's like oh.

[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_04]: We got to drive that and Sean is like priorities but also tells him Philip is never going to let you drive that car.

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_04]: They get outside ready to go and Ed has crashed the fucking car that his resolution that he wants to drive his car so he's going to fuck up the other car, which dumb because they could have taken two cars that would have been helpful on this journey.

[00:40:44] [SPEAKER_04]: And so they get in the Jaguar and then Ed is playing crazy loud rock music this very much annoyed Philip and he's like shut this down like shut it down.

[00:40:56] [SPEAKER_01]: He's also not like Philip is not feeling very well either so he's not doing good.

[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_02]: And so this is what it lives right so they're on their way to Liz's and or no they get they get Liz in company so it's Liz Diane and David.

[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Which they have to fight because David is being a dick does not want to go Diane seems more willing and just like truck both Diane and Liz kind of trust Sean because he came to get them or whatever and.

[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_04]: David is fighting this tooth and now he's like we're totally safe here but you could already see the zombies have started to like move in towards the apartments so yeah.

[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And so they're driving to the Winchester because Sean's like we can get in there we can barricade ourselves like there's food there's.

[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And then Philip starts apologizing to.

[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_02]: To Sean and like take care of your mother and I'm really sorry that we didn't have a better relationship and then Phil's dead and then he reanimates as a zombie and so everyone has to.

[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Scramble out of the car and they essentially lock Philip in his jag.

[00:42:21] [SPEAKER_04]: So he's like, yeah, I mean I don't know why they didn't just like.

[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Open the door to let Philip out and then all come in through the other side.

[00:42:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, to like get in the car but I guess that would take away the other plot lines, but I do love that one Philip is apologizing he finally explained himself so Sean kind of gets a better understanding he says that you know I just thought.

[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_04]: With your dad being gone that you needed someone to look up to you needed someone to push you and I thought I could be that person but I didn't mean to make you feel like you aren't loved like I love you and so like.

[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_04]: I think one of the greatest things about this movie is that it has true relationships and emotions so that like.

[00:43:18] [SPEAKER_04]: The zombie part is kind of like a best thing.

[00:43:21] [SPEAKER_04]: It's like a sub plot and you're really just feeling the connections and the loss that.

[00:43:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Sean is feeling because you know now he's lost his stepdad and almost realizing that this man wasn't as bad as he thought it was.

[00:43:38] [SPEAKER_04]: In the midst of all this and he has no time to grieve his mom is like got no time to grieve so much so that like.

[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_04]: At this point she gets bit but we don't know because she doesn't want him to worry Sean to worry so she kind of hides it.

[00:43:57] [SPEAKER_04]: It's just it hit me so much more this time around watching this movie.

[00:44:03] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think we all know or even have like moms I know my mom is similar that where she hides stuff like about her just because she doesn't want me to worry.

[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's what parents really like they want the best for their children it may not seem like it from like certain like reactions that they that they give us but when all comes down to it parents want the best for.

[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_01]: For the people that they raised for years and years so yeah that's a great point Daniel.

[00:44:38] [SPEAKER_04]: They have to go on foot now they're going through backyards and stuff like that and this is another scene that just really irks my fucking nerves because it's like everyone is just so fucking spacey you know.

[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_04]: First of all you're kind of like falling Sean but you don't flank you don't have like a man flanking to make sure that Barbara is okay fucking idiot Ed is before walking before her and then idiot Barbara starts like looking around and she's like hey I know these people or whatever bitch if you don't keep going.

[00:45:15] [SPEAKER_04]: And so she sees someone she knows he's a fucking zombie they all climb over this fence because the next fence is to get to the bar and Sean's like wait are we all here how do you not know your maps about there.

[00:45:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Ed why did you not notice Barbara's gone and then you hear Barbara scream.

[00:45:38] [SPEAKER_04]: And so like Sean jumps over he jumps on the trampoline just to go to find his you know go back to find his mom.

[00:45:47] [SPEAKER_04]: And then like they're all waiting for him of course this is another time David is like saying why are you believing in trying like he just.

[00:45:56] [SPEAKER_04]: I should have fucking loved him yeah Dave.

[00:45:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I would've been going to go to Dave off the island very quickly.

[00:46:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah and then when they do get Barbara there's another zombie that that same zombie comes through and fucking Ed and David are just standing there.

[00:46:15] [SPEAKER_04]: They don't even try so it's it.

[00:46:19] [SPEAKER_04]: It's what you call it Diane and Liz that find a weapon to help him fight this thing because he's other two are fucking useless like Ed is on his phone who are you talking to.

[00:46:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Who is that winner he was like hey noodle what's up.

[00:46:38] [SPEAKER_04]: I he did that I think when they got to the bar yeah but he was like just texting even in the earlier when they've in count.

[00:46:45] [SPEAKER_04]: The first zombie he goes and gets a camera to take a picture.

[00:46:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Why the the best when he gets a camera to take a picture when he's rewinding the film probably the best gag.

[00:47:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And then John is just like grabs the camera and throws it away.

[00:47:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Like no one bothered.

[00:47:08] [SPEAKER_04]: So frustrating but once Sean fights the zombie and he gets on top of this slide to see like what's the.

[00:47:15] [SPEAKER_04]: The situation at the bar he realizes zombies everywhere like their fuck yeah and it's also in this scene where they're like creeping through and they meet like.

[00:47:28] [SPEAKER_02]: The the weirdo group that is like them but slightly different as they pass through and Martin Freeman is part of that group randomly I know you.

[00:47:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I forgot.

[00:47:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:47:46] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah the Sean comes up with a plan he's like everyone practice being a zombie we're just going to pretend like words on beast too to get through this giant crowd and get to the the Winchester.

[00:48:00] [SPEAKER_02]: So everyone puts on their best zombie impression and they it works which I'm like yeah why are we not using that strategy for the rest of the movie.

[00:48:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:48:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Sean on his mom gives the best good.

[00:48:15] [SPEAKER_01]: In the movie when like they're I love like the scene like setting up how they're like oh see there like see how the zombies look like I want you to channel like his energy I want like I want you to channel like his aura is that's what the kids are saying these days aura.

[00:48:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:48:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Like she gave the right aura and then the camera pans over like whip pans we didn't mention that that's kind of Edgar writes signature but whip pans over to Sean's mom and she's just like dead like dead in the face.

[00:48:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And they're like oh wow it's really good and then she like shake it like is I also like another hand like maybe she was bit too and she's just kind of like.

[00:49:01] [SPEAKER_02]: She's just so overwhelmed she's just lost her husband like she is just disassociated like she is no longer on the planet Earth but it works well when you have to pretend to be a zombie.

[00:49:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:49:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you remember I just kind of lost that line at the top of my head but it's so it's so funny it's like something like she's not like on this world there's something like that.

[00:49:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:49:25] [SPEAKER_02]: So they make it to the wind tester they're trying to get in trying to figure out how to get in and someone's just breaking window and Sean's like no because then the followers in like we can't do that right.

[00:49:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Fucking David can't wait and he's just so mad he thinks he thinks this is a game he thinks Sean is trying to be the hero and it's like bitch we are literally.

[00:49:51] [SPEAKER_04]: I think he died.

[00:49:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I think he died.

[00:49:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:49:56] [SPEAKER_02]: So he empties a trash can and breaks the window all the zombies are now focused on them because of the noise and so Sean's like okay I'm going to distract all of them and I'm going to run around the back.

[00:50:10] [SPEAKER_02]: When I when I do that you guys climb in through the window so that's the plan they get into the Winchester.

[00:50:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Zombie 101 you immediately start boarding up those windows with whatever you can fucking find.

[00:50:26] [SPEAKER_04]: I think they didn't want to.

[00:50:28] [SPEAKER_04]: They didn't want to board it up because they didn't I don't know why they didn't like I think that they didn't board it up because they wanted Sean they needed away for Sean to get in but they could have just opened the front door.

[00:50:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Or like when Sean then there's also no sense of urgency to try and right.

[00:50:51] [SPEAKER_01]: There's no sense of urgency like which Sean gets back.

[00:50:55] [SPEAKER_01]: One if I was them and my friend created a distraction to come back and then he just randomly like pops up.

[00:51:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just like did you get bit like you just randomly like show them like the no one's like looking for like any like like white marks or anything like that and I'm just like that's the first thing I would be asking like my friend I know he.

[00:51:17] [SPEAKER_01]: He saved us in that moment but I'm just like I'm all of your inspections for everyone.

[00:51:25] [SPEAKER_02]: There is no more modesty when it comes to a zombie apocalypse got to show me everything to make sure you're not good to turn.

[00:51:35] [SPEAKER_02]: So Sean they're trying to turn the lights on but in doing that they like notified the zombies that they're in there and so now they're trying to find a way in.

[00:51:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And then somehow the jukebox turns on it turns on because fucking Ed plugs that shouldn't well first Ed plugs in.

[00:51:59] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if it's the Julie Fox or slot machine and make all this noise because when Sean goes to the back he sees all those zombies that followed him in so they're fucking screwed.

[00:52:10] [SPEAKER_04]: And I just feel like even before that happened they were just sitting eating snacks and drinking.

[00:52:17] [SPEAKER_04]: That this is when they should have came up with a plan like where we go next like they're just sitting and waiting for I don't know who instead of trying to figure out like how do we kill some of these zombies.

[00:52:26] [SPEAKER_04]: If we need to move to another place where we go like nothing they're just sitting there waiting to die.

[00:52:33] [SPEAKER_01]: They're just waiting it out because I feel like that's probably what the dumbest plan.

[00:52:39] [SPEAKER_01]: That they ever come up with it's like there's no waiting it out like you got to figure out your next step so.

[00:52:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And like Sean has thought of everything that's far away.

[00:52:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Can't you all help like.

[00:52:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if they how to fucking love them.

[00:52:56] [SPEAKER_04]: There's there ain't no way that this is the group that I'm stuck with and they're like fighting about the stupidest shit like the sense of urgency just is not happening.

[00:53:08] [SPEAKER_04]: They are really just going through all the stuff that they have not talked about as a group like the things they hate about each other whatever.

[00:53:17] [SPEAKER_04]: That's what's bubbling up.

[00:53:19] [SPEAKER_04]: We don't have time for this.

[00:53:24] [SPEAKER_04]: I just wanted to rotate it.

[00:53:25] [SPEAKER_01]: That's why I told you that if it's on the apocalypse happens, I'm abandoning everyone.

[00:53:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm abandoning my family.

[00:53:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, sorry, dumb.

[00:53:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm abandoning my family.

[00:53:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Just friends.

[00:53:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't care.

[00:53:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Like we wouldn't have to have Wi-Fi.

[00:53:43] [SPEAKER_01]: We're not going to have us any cell signal.

[00:53:46] [SPEAKER_01]: So it's like.

[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Mine's what's this.

[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm taking a pill and I'm that's it.

[00:53:52] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not trying to start.

[00:53:55] [SPEAKER_04]: I already told my mom this, there is no scenario that I'm trying to survive nothing.

[00:54:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay, the moment things get too hard, I'm out of this bitch.

[00:54:06] [SPEAKER_04]: I feel like God will understand.

[00:54:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:54:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I am out of sheer stubbornness and wanting to win.

[00:54:17] [SPEAKER_04]: I am fighting for my life.

[00:54:21] [SPEAKER_04]: There's no game that I want to win.

[00:54:23] [SPEAKER_04]: There's no Wi-Fi.

[00:54:25] [SPEAKER_04]: I'll never be able to have a chocolate wave cake from the Red Officer again.

[00:54:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, the Costco cake is way gone.

[00:54:33] [SPEAKER_04]: So like that's really over.

[00:54:36] [SPEAKER_04]: You know, you think there's nothing to live for.

[00:54:39] [SPEAKER_04]: There's no that it yes.

[00:54:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Like I'm not trying to struggle.

[00:54:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Like I'm not trying to go back to old days.

[00:54:49] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not trying to farm.

[00:54:51] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not trying to live simple life.

[00:54:53] [SPEAKER_04]: I need the internet.

[00:54:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I need fast food.

[00:54:56] [SPEAKER_04]: I need to travel.

[00:54:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I tried to to weave you a.

[00:55:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I think what.

[00:55:03] [SPEAKER_01]: What I would do is I would still try and podcast.

[00:55:08] [SPEAKER_01]: The rail over podcast through fam radio.

[00:55:12] [SPEAKER_01]: You know how like in post apocalyptic movies or TV shows,

[00:55:16] [SPEAKER_01]: there's always like that one person like on the radio, but giving out information.

[00:55:21] [SPEAKER_01]: But I wouldn't be giving out information.

[00:55:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I'll just be going.

[00:55:25] [SPEAKER_04]: You would literally every day be doing the scene to scene of every fast in the fear is.

[00:55:33] [SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, it's still beyond the letter box top two.

[00:55:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I see like that's the other thing.

[00:55:39] [SPEAKER_04]: No more movies.

[00:55:40] [SPEAKER_04]: No more movie popcorn.

[00:55:42] [SPEAKER_04]: I know this sounds real surface.

[00:55:44] [SPEAKER_04]: I know the sounds insane.

[00:55:46] [SPEAKER_04]: But I'm literally on our podcast saying that I'm going to get myself because there's.

[00:55:51] [SPEAKER_04]: But like come on guys.

[00:55:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Come on.

[00:55:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, there are those of us who like to camp in there.

[00:55:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Those of us who don't.

[00:56:01] [SPEAKER_02]: So if I'm fine with profit.

[00:56:04] [SPEAKER_04]: If I had kids, if I had kids, then of course, then I have to live.

[00:56:11] [SPEAKER_04]: I've got to make sure my kids are okay.

[00:56:14] [SPEAKER_04]: I got no kids and got no husband.

[00:56:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Now I know my mom will miss me.

[00:56:23] [SPEAKER_04]: But she already knows what's up.

[00:56:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, at least she knows.

[00:56:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I've already never get to.

[00:56:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm really.

[00:56:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Our IP and I tried to try to sway her and she was.

[00:56:37] [SPEAKER_02]: He didn't ask that there's no popcorn movie popcorn.

[00:56:41] [SPEAKER_04]: What she tells me is remember that movie the missed.

[00:56:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, no, she's like all those people died and then a few minutes later they were saved.

[00:56:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, over.

[00:56:55] [SPEAKER_04]: So don't do that so early.

[00:56:57] [SPEAKER_04]: She's like, give it time.

[00:56:59] [SPEAKER_04]: I was like, I love that you the movie reference.

[00:57:06] [SPEAKER_01]: You could cut this out if you want to.

[00:57:08] [SPEAKER_01]: But going back to zombie line, you mentioned earlier.

[00:57:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Or but I imagine like you Danielle just being like Woody Harrelson's character Tennessee.

[00:57:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Like how he's looking for a Twinkie.

[00:57:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

[00:57:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Danielle, you're looking for movie theater.

[00:57:25] [SPEAKER_04]: I feel like the popcorn thing might not be as hard to do because like,

[00:57:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Look at over like right campfire.

[00:57:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but is that popcorn salt is not going to be available.

[00:57:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Now if I know if I had time, I can order all of it on Amazon and have a stockpile or

[00:57:43] [SPEAKER_04]: I'd break into the movie theater because he was really going to be breaking into that and then I'll get my soul.

[00:57:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I'm sure they have like giant ass bags of it all last you while.

[00:57:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but all this giant bags were traumatic for me when I was a movie theater.

[00:57:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Plus like with all my like my health stuff there I have I need constant maintenance like that's there.

[00:58:06] [SPEAKER_04]: I wouldn't know what to do.

[00:58:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's a pill for me.

[00:58:12] [SPEAKER_02]: So the the Duke box starts playing queen.

[00:58:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to go time by queen.

[00:58:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And they at the same time, the bartender comes out as a zombie.

[00:58:26] [SPEAKER_02]: It does.

[00:58:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Or old man.

[00:58:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Three of them take pull cues and like I went to broken one in half so I had something that like shank

[00:58:36] [SPEAKER_02]: him with but instead they're just like gently beating him with his.

[00:58:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Who the beat of queen.

[00:58:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And I loved like the line because when the two bucks comes on in the queen song like is playing like really loudly.

[00:58:52] [SPEAKER_01]: They're like, oh, we can't have this because the zombies are going to like know we're here and they're going to like get even more excited.

[00:59:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And the line that Sean has is like he says kill the queen.

[00:59:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean the two box.

[00:59:06] [SPEAKER_02]: And David takes forever actually he never even unplugs the Duke box.

[00:59:12] [SPEAKER_04]: He just like, oh no what did you because he's pressing all the goddamn buttons and the lights flickering outside.

[00:59:19] [SPEAKER_04]: He doesn't even take time to try to see which one is which it's just like a mess and then he gives up because he sucks.

[00:59:26] [SPEAKER_04]: I also like why isn't someone just stabbing them stabbing this guy in the head.

[00:59:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and then Diane says, oh you know, be a good idea to start throwing darts even though I suck at it.

[00:59:38] [SPEAKER_04]: And she hits Sean fucking right in the head.

[00:59:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, my god.

[00:59:45] [SPEAKER_02]: These people are the worst.

[00:59:48] [SPEAKER_02]: The worst.

[00:59:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I like that dark would have gone through his skull.

[00:59:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Like there is no way Sean is living after a dart to the head.

[00:59:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Also, I just feel like my nana would be better in this situation than all these people.

[01:00:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Just saying that's true.

[01:00:16] [SPEAKER_02]: They finally throw John the bartender into the Duke box.

[01:00:20] [SPEAKER_02]: The music stops playing and Liz goes to check on Barbara.

[01:00:25] [SPEAKER_02]: And she does that classical lady thing where you just stick clean.

[01:00:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And she's like, oh I didn't want to say anything.

[01:00:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I thought Sean would worry so she's just like, I didn't that's why I didn't tell anyone.

[01:00:51] [SPEAKER_02]: But she like very obviously dying.

[01:00:53] [SPEAKER_02]: And this is the only part that I agree with David on because he's like, we got a shooter.

[01:01:00] [SPEAKER_02]: She's dead.

[01:01:00] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, he's right, but he's right.

[01:01:03] [SPEAKER_04]: He's right, but the way he did it and just like almost like he's happy about like you have not tried to help at all at all.

[01:01:14] [SPEAKER_02]: You have not tried to Sean's.

[01:01:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Right.

[01:01:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Like it just feels a grieges and malicious at this point.

[01:01:24] [SPEAKER_01]: So, and then just so David should at least just try and put himself in shopping shoes because I tried to do this myself.

[01:01:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Like if I ever had like a loved one, like a family member, like I know that they were going to turn.

[01:01:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm just like, I'm not I hate to say it.

[01:01:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I could do it.

[01:01:46] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like I know it would be my life like on the line, but it's like like that's just more.

[01:01:52] [SPEAKER_04]: I wouldn't ask Ed to do it.

[01:01:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I couldn't see it.

[01:01:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Like it's one of the reasons why I wouldn't I didn't go see my dad before we had him cremated because like I just didn't want that version of him to be the last thing I saw.

[01:02:05] [SPEAKER_04]: So like to shoot her so like I would have had maybe Ed, well burn her.

[01:02:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Like yeah, you know, pour some alcohol on her and burn her and just like not look at it.

[01:02:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but just the fact that David was so adamant that they needed to shoot her and he just was like an asshole about it.

[01:02:28] [SPEAKER_04]: And then at the last minute he tells Sean to do it.

[01:02:32] [SPEAKER_04]: And like you know that you guys are already hate each other. So why don't you just do it because you know that you could take that burden off of him.

[01:02:41] [SPEAKER_04]: So he's not having to remember that for the rest of his life, you know.

[01:02:46] [SPEAKER_04]: It was just really sad and Simon Peg did an amazing job showing that emotion and like the crying.

[01:02:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I just was like, I was crying so much during the scene. It was so hard to watch.

[01:03:02] [SPEAKER_01]: So quick question that I had when watching the scene like I know it's like there's always seems like this and like zombie movies where it's like,

[01:03:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I loved one is about to turn and like oh, do we kill them?

[01:03:15] [SPEAKER_01]: What's stopping them was just like leaving like pushing her out the door?

[01:03:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, just like throwing her back outside. Yeah, the other zombies.

[01:03:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, make make love with all those zombies.

[01:03:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, let her go find her husband, you know.

[01:03:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but I don't know. I understand that you got to have drama in this situation, but it's just like, I don't know. That could be a solution.

[01:03:41] [SPEAKER_04]: And then after this David continues to be even more of an ask and this is like shut in between like when Sean actually shoots his mom because he ends up having to.

[01:03:53] [SPEAKER_04]: He like gets a he could get the bottle and like smashes it and there's literally putting you to David's neck and so is Ed.

[01:04:05] [SPEAKER_04]: And then Diane's like, well, you know this is not fair. So it's like, oh yeah, so he gives her a bottle so that she could put it towards Sean because

[01:04:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Even though in this scene, she admits that she knows that the only reason David ever got close to hers because he has continuously been in love with Liz

[01:04:22] [SPEAKER_04]: And she's like, I've made my piece with it or whatever, but David just when he's called out about it and I think what pushes him over the edges not even his wife saying or girlfriend or even know what her role is with him.

[01:04:37] [SPEAKER_04]: It's one Liz really starts screaming at him. He then opens the fucking window or the doors to like he's like I'm getting out of here. Like nothing this man does make sense and so watching them rip him limb from limb was the most satisfying thing in this book will be

[01:04:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And Diane just eventually just have David's legs. Yeah, but then Diane loses her shit and opens the door and runs out and starts beating the zombies with David's leg.

[01:05:12] [SPEAKER_02]: So then Diane's dead too. I'm like everyone's losing their fucking money.

[01:05:17] [SPEAKER_04]: And then they can't stop the zombies and it's trying to make model of what is it, model of the cocktails. Yeah, and he but he gets bitten and so Sean is like so distraught.

[01:05:33] [SPEAKER_04]: But I do love there is one scene before all this stuff happens when they're at the bar and David is like, oh, why don't you say something to your husband or whatever. And then he's like, what do you talk about that he's not my husband and then Ed comes up with a beer. He's like it's a little warm. He's like thanks babe or so.

[01:05:56] [SPEAKER_04]: But like now Ed is getting fucked up by the zombies and Sean is in disrey Liz like, bitch, what are we going to do? Yeah, they finally snaps out of it and they jump over the bar.

[01:06:10] [SPEAKER_04]: He's just calling for Ed calling for Ed even though logically he knows that Ed is been bitten, you know like and they like the bar on fire.

[01:06:21] [SPEAKER_04]: And Ed is like, look, we can go downstairs in the cellar or whatever and they go downstairs which again you're putting yourself in another situation you should have left Ed down up upstairs because he's been and he's going to die but they don't.

[01:06:38] [SPEAKER_01]: And so they have likes of hard conversations in the basement. Well, okay, so they go down to the basement and we have established that there's a basement in the in the Winchester.

[01:06:52] [SPEAKER_01]: The issue that I have here, I know we established that they're not very smart like at all. I didn't go down to the basement initially if they knew that there is a basement.

[01:07:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if they were. The zombies wouldn't have known that they went down there because they wouldn't have seen them go down there right.

[01:07:11] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not sure. So then they only have like what to bullets left and so this is when Ed is like, look, I don't mind getting eaten.

[01:07:25] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know sweet in a weird way. So Liz and Sean are like we can just you know, one of us shoot the other and then shoot ourselves in the head and they're just trying to figure out like they know this is the end.

[01:07:38] [SPEAKER_04]: And that's when they find the lift to get them upstairs so they leave Ed behind and they go upstairs and they're just surrounded by fucking zombies at this point.

[01:07:52] [SPEAKER_04]: And you think it's pretty much the end for them.

[01:07:55] [SPEAKER_01]: But the military shows up to go back to a little bit to Ed and Sean's like reaction.

[01:08:03] [SPEAKER_01]: One of the best fart jokes in a movie because it was a setup like earlier like when they're sitting on the couch and Ed basically like, hey I'm sorry. Sorry about what and he's just like, oh.

[01:08:19] [SPEAKER_01]: That's also that's paid off like in that the conversation that are having like in the basement when Ed is like pouring everything out to Sean and saying like, hey I don't want to hold you back.

[01:08:32] [SPEAKER_01]: They'll be with Liz I know I'm kind of like, he doesn't say these a terrible person but he just knows that Sean could be so much better.

[01:08:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to say that the Edgar Wright watch goodwill hunting but there's a lot of similar similarities to goodwill hunting between Matt Damon and then an afflix character where it's like,

[01:08:54] [SPEAKER_01]: He like these are this is the best friend that just wants like the best for their friend.

[01:08:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And I love how the way it just ends versus like ends with like just Ed farting and just like, I'm not crying it's a spell.

[01:09:10] [SPEAKER_01]: It's so good and also just like when a Sean and Liz get on the lift that's kind of like a metaphor of Sean and Liz getting lift up to like higher and better places.

[01:09:23] [SPEAKER_01]: And Sean's just there or Ed just wherever he's at so yeah.

[01:09:27] [SPEAKER_02]: And then we see after the military rescues them we see a couple of news packages and one is about Enrique Ramirez who had to kill his holes on the five families like this.

[01:09:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And then he's like, oh my god but then there's like that shit probably would happen if there was a zombie apocalypse like yeah.

[01:09:52] [SPEAKER_04]: And they have like games with the zombies they make the zombies workers and these all feel like shit that people would do capitalism.

[01:10:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, yeah. So it's six months later we see yeah the the remaining zombies are kind of domesticated.

[01:10:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And Liz and Sean are now living together and she's kind of like adapted somewhat to his way of life like just kind of what are we going to do to say.

[01:10:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, exactly I do like that she's fine with the routine because in the beginning she was saying that she wanted to live life she wanted to travel she wanted something.

[01:10:38] [SPEAKER_04]: But after that crazy traumatic shit she's like I'm fine. I don't need to do shit.

[01:10:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And she goes to go make like tear something that's right and then Sean's like I'm going to go out to the garden for a bit she's like okay have fun and he goes to the shed and they just have zombie edge shackled in the shed.

[01:11:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And the place station two with the game they always play and so he still gets to have his best friend.

[01:11:07] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't think it's in you. You may be because it's literally what Sean would do like Sean wasn't doing shit.

[01:11:12] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, Sean Ed was in doing shit before so this is normal. It just tries to bite Sean that's all.

[01:11:19] [SPEAKER_01]: And then this is yet another payoff where Ed like the Edgar right set up like in the first part where their flat mate said like you don't do shit Ed.

[01:11:29] [SPEAKER_01]: You might as well just live in the shed and like we belong and then the movie Ed's in the shed as as a zombie.

[01:11:37] [SPEAKER_01]: He's just kind of like, I was living life as a zombie and the big of a movie so I love it. And I just love that you can't kill Ed like even though he's like even though he is kind of a slob like he's still lovable and Sean loves him like a lot.

[01:11:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad that they didn't kill him. So yeah, this is this is how they in Iraq now.

[01:12:00] [SPEAKER_04]: So they get around you know him being bit.

[01:12:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And that is Sean of the dead.

[01:12:09] [SPEAKER_04]: All right, you guys just grab some fun facts we missed.

[01:12:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I like that when Sean and the group are running out of was this flat. They are all carrying weapons but only Sean actually hits a new zombies because the cricket bat that he has was a padded fake.

[01:12:26] [SPEAKER_02]: All of the other items were real and would have hurt the extras.

[01:12:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's not really a fun fact but it's just something interesting that I found especially like in this rewatch and knowing that it's the 20th anniversary.

[01:12:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Ed your right like I think it was on a letter box video where he was like answering questions.

[01:12:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And he said that like when this movie originally came out he loved that this movie like played in American cinemas and he got to see or the UK presented like on the things screen.

[01:12:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Because growing up he never actually experienced anything like that and to see a big movie like Sean of the dead and where people are laughing and having a good time presented like this way.

[01:13:08] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just a form of representation that he really appreciated and he's got that he can make this movie and I've always really liked filmmakers like Edgar Wright or even filmmakers like him that Sean on that

[01:13:21] [SPEAKER_01]: They true to their roots and like like shumbon on like makes movies basically and south filly. Like pretty much all of his movies are shot there.

[01:13:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And I like filmmakers that stay away from like the Hollywood system and just and kind of do their own thing and that's what Edgar Wright's been doing for like the last 20 years pretty much.

[01:13:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I also found it interesting and like it's not something that I caught on the first watch.

[01:13:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And it wasn't all like towards the end of the second watch but I'm like England doesn't have firearms readily available to citizens.

[01:13:57] [SPEAKER_02]: That's why they had to find alternative weapons which makes for a very different zombie movie than what we're used.

[01:14:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Right because in America.

[01:14:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Power up, pop, pop, pop.

[01:14:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Second amendment.

[01:14:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Because you wonder why Ed keeps talking about this shotgun at the bar.

[01:14:20] [SPEAKER_04]: You know like why is there so much emphasis because this has to be the reason why they're able to have a gun because it's not readily available.

[01:14:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it has to be some gun that Shumba's name and think is really loaded because again you're not supposed to have them.

[01:14:37] [SPEAKER_04]: The actors met three weeks before filming began for their read throughs and they made minor changes to the script.

[01:14:45] [SPEAKER_04]: So according to Peg the script has a set structure with certain lines and actions being repeated throughout the film making improvisation improv harder.

[01:14:57] [SPEAKER_04]: So there's only two scenes that were improvised which include when Ed begins to describe the people at the pub like we were talking about.

[01:15:06] [SPEAKER_04]: And when Sean offers the group some peanuts pegs said that the screenplay played well into being an actor in the film because he could write to his own strengths and create his own wish fulfillment.

[01:15:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Which is cool.

[01:15:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And because of the timing and similarity of the names distributors were forced to hold this movie back until two weeks after Donna of the dead was released in the UK.

[01:15:33] [SPEAKER_04]: That's hilarious. I forgot they broke him out in 2004 double feature Donna the dead, Sean of the dead.

[01:15:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, let's go double tag.

[01:15:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I haven't seen Donna the dead.

[01:15:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.

[01:15:46] [SPEAKER_02]: It's one of my favorites from it's probably my favorite zombie movie and definitely from our time period one of my favorite horror movies.

[01:15:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I'll definitely have to check it out for spooky man.

[01:16:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Sarah Paulian is just she's fantastic.

[01:16:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Many of the zombie extras are fans of space which also starred Simon Pegg Nick Frost and was directed by Edgar Wright and they were recruited through the space out fan website.

[01:16:21] [SPEAKER_04]: That's a little bit.

[01:16:24] [SPEAKER_04]: All right, Marlene why don't you tell everybody where they can find you on social?

[01:17:39] [SPEAKER_04]: It's still pretty good.

[01:17:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I would agree like if someone has the sign definitely sitting down and watching it maybe during October.

[01:17:50] [SPEAKER_02]: It's worth a rewatch definitely.

[01:17:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think that especially like on this rewatch like we've already kind of like I think Jackie you stated like already like there's so many little bits and pieces that you could miss on a first watch.
