Summary

To wrap up "Dead Boy Summer," Aaron and Derek discuss 2016's British post-apocalyptic horror film "The Girl with All the Gifts" directed by Colm McCarthy and written by Mike Carey. They discuss the comparisons with 2013's video game "The Last of Us," the strangely hopeful state of the conclusion, Mike Carey's novel, and the "zombie-ant" fungus itself. They also talk about the differing attitudes towards the children various characters have, the unique characteristics of the fungal infected zombies, and many other aspects of the film. Derek wants a cat. Aaron knows it's just not yours any more.We are on PodBean, Apple Podcasts, Podchaser, Goodpods, Amazon Music, Google, Stitcher, Spotify, and CastBox.
