28 Years Later - A Deep Dive into the Sequel

Danny Boyle and Alex Garland are back. After 18 years apart, the duo behind 28 Days Later reunite for 28 Years Later - a bold, brutal sequel that pushes their post-apocalyptic vision into new territory.

In our latest Patreon-exclusive episode, we dive deep into this long-awaited follow-up, unpacking everything from its world-building to its bonkers ending.

Here's a taste of what we discussed:

🦠 A Changed World

Nearly three decades on, the infection hasn't gone away- it’s mutated. We explore how the film expands the universe and what that says about the world today.

👤 Old Faces, New Survivors

The film introduces a new generation of characters while weaving in legacy connections. The performances are raw and memorable, and we talk about who stood out - and who surprised us.

📽 Boyle’s Still Got It

From intense handheld shots to quiet, eerie moments of stillness, Danny Boyle brings his signature energy and edge. We chat about how his style has evolved, and how it amplifies both the action and the emotion.

🎵 Sound & Fury

The score slaps. (We said it.) We dig into how music and silence are used to crank up the tension and emotional stakes - especially in the film’s harrowing final act.

💥 Hope? Or Horror?

At the heart of the film is a question: can humanity ever learn? The film’s ending offers no easy answers. We break it all down—and yes, we’ve got opinions.
