Summary

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture For this week's second podcast review, Josh Parham, Cody Dericks, and Brendan Hodges join me to review and discuss the latest film from Academy Award-winning Director Danny Boyle and Academy Award-nominated Screenwriter Alex Garland, "28 Years Later," starring Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O'Connell, Alfie Williams & Ralph Fiennes. The much-anticipated sequel to Boyle and Garland's 2002 genre-redefining horror film "28 Days Later," the film has been met with much enthusiasm and some spirited discussion regarding tone, themes, and franchise direction as it paves the way for a second film coming in January 2026 from Nia DaCosta and a potential third which would see Boyle return to direct. What did we think of it? Please tune in as we discuss the story, performances, Boyle's iPhone-shot direction, Garland's world-building, the divisive ending, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.
