TPToA Podcast 411 – The Last 28 Years of Us (The Last of Us S2 & 28 Years Later)
The Last 28 Years of Us
The last 28 years (or there abouts) of zombie films have really changed the face of the genre. With the introduction of fast zombies, and then the addition of different zombie types; like Rage monsters, infected, fungus monsters, behemoths, clickers, alphas, etc... we have come a long way from the barely threatening shambling shufflers of yesteryear. We're not even confined to the big screen any more, with Zombies being perfect fodder for prestige TV, as well as cinema screens. Two watershed moments are our topic for discussion in this show; the continuation of the genre re-defining 28 Days later series and the second season of the Televisual video game adaptation tour-de-force series The Last of Us.
In this episode both Dion and Jill are your designated survivors, while Quinny and Peta both try to outrun hordes of zombies in very different parts of the world.
Synopsis
It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped from a biological weapons laboratory. Still living in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amid the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. When one of them decides to venture into the dark heart of the mainland, he soon discovers a mutation that has spread to not only the infected, but other survivors as well.
