“He is opening up this world to way more possibilities...” - Andrew on Danny Boyle

On the second installment of our contemporary horror film chat show, Scaredy Cats, we’re talking about last year’s legacy sequel that brought a beloved franchise back from the dead, 28 Years Later!

How incredible of a return is this for Mr. Danny Boyle?! Has Aaron Taylor-Johnson been better in a movie? Did this movie have the best trailer of the last quarter century? When was the last time a horror film had such a fantastically successful dramatic arc? Could anyone but Ralph Fiennes have pulled off Dr. Kelson? And how old is too old to be buying Power Ranger toys? PLUS: Just a note, we taped this show before The Bone Temple came out, so keep that in mind as we spend this episode wondering what might come of that movie! 

And remember, look for the poll for the next Scaredy Cats selection in the coming days so you can vote on the next film we cover on the show! 

28 Years Later stars Alfie Williams, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Chi Lewis-Parry, Jack O’Connell, and Ralph Fiennes as Dr. Kelson; directed by Danny Boyle.

Scaredy Cats is a quarterly (four times per year) video show where we break down a horror flick from the modern age (only films 10 years old or newer) that YOU the Patreon supporter helps curate! Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the poll on Patreon where you can vote to help pick the next film we cover on the show!

We know you have a lot of options for stuff to watch and listen to and we’re so stoked you took some time to work us into the rotation. As always, thanks so much for being the kick-ass, TOP TIER supporter that you are!
