There’s a peculiar joy in watching grown adults; who you’d trust to explain the. many facets of Goddard and Spielberg; gleefully debate the difference between rage-infected zombies and the kind that just want to nibble your spleen. Such is the infectious spirit of My Bloody Podcast, which in its 171st episode brings together its trifecta of horror scholars and a special guest, Dan Moran of Fear and Loathing in Cinema; a man who knows his Kevin Costner from his western outfits.

The episode is a love letter; drenched in blood and sentimentality; to 28 Years Later, the long-awaited sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, returning like prodigal horror kings, have finally gifted fans the third act in a saga that forever altered the zombie genre (and likely ruined jogging for everyone back in 2002).
