Podcast appearances and mentions of Alex Garland

In this episode of ClassHorrorCast, we revisit Alex Garland's haunting and surreal folk horror MEN (2022) — a film that shocked audiences, split opinions, and delivered one of the most disturbing endings in recent memory.We dive deep into the unsettling atmosphere Garland creates, the layered symbolism woven through the story, and Jessie Buckley's powerhouse performance as Harper, a woman seeking escape from grief only to find herself stalked by something far darker.We'll break down the film's rural English setting, its eerie use of repetition, and Rory Kinnear's unforgettable (and unnerving) multi-role performance.From the visceral body horror to the heavy thematic undercurrents about guilt, gender, and cycles of violence, we explore why MEN is so divisive — and why that shocking final act still has people talking.Whether you loved it, hated it, or are still trying to figure out what you just watched, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.If you enjoyed this - Check out my other content here - https://linktr.ee/FirstClassHorrorBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/class-horror-cast--4295531/support.

Dave owns the film, John has seen it 3 or 4 times but the time lines get blurred (movie reference), and Jeff hasn't gone back since his shimmery experience in the cinema summer 2018.

We present our review of the 28 Days Later Film Series!The 28 Days Later series consists of post-apocalyptic horror films, based on a concept conceived by Alex Garland. The series includes three released films, with two sequels in various stages of development. The franchise depicts the outbreak of the Rage Virus, a contagious disease that induces homicidal rage in those infected. Following the virus's accidental release from a laboratory in the United Kingdom, the resulting epidemic causes widespread societal collapse. The films focus on the impact of the outbreak, and the efforts of survivors to endure both the infected and the consequences of a rapidly disintegrating society.The first film, 28 Days Later, was well received by critics, and was a box office success. It has been called a horror classic and has a cult following. It has also been credited with redefining, as well as influencing, and expanding the popularity of the zombie horror genre. The 2007 sequel, 28 Weeks Later, was a financial success but had an average critical reception, with a 73% from critics and a much lower 66% audience rating, according to review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.The series is set to continue with a trilogy of sequels in various stages of development, all distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing through its Columbia Pictures label. The first sequel, 28 Years Later, was released in 2025, with a follow-up, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, slated for release on 16 January 2026. A third film was announced.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Oh sure, “Men,” they said. “It's called Men,” they said. So naturally, I thought, great! A big ol' movie full of guys! Dudes being dudes, maybe grilling something, maybe building a shed, emotionally repressing themselves — you know, men things. But no. Turns out “Men,” the 2022 psychological folk horror film from Alex Garland, doesn't mean *many* men, it means *one* man... **many times.** And that man is Rory Kinnear. Rory at the pub. Rory as the vicar. Rory as a naked forest sprite with a leaf stuck in his nether region. Honestly, at one point I started to feel like *I* was Rory Kinnear. It's less *Men* and more *Manifold Rorys: A Nightmare Journal.*But hey — it's all part of the unsettling brilliance of Garland's creepfest, and Clay and Amanda are back on The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast to dive into the deep, uncanny woods of it all. From its eerie rural English setting to the emotional trauma anchoring the horror, they dig into the meaning and menace behind the multiplicity of men, the strange forces at play, and whether or not you should ever trust a man who shows up in the middle of the night and just stares through your mail slot. (Spoiler: you should not.)It's a tale of grief, guilt, body horror, and mythological rebirth — but not, unfortunately, of a barbershop quartet of fellas named Steve, Greg, Carl, and Doug trying to fix a cursed weed whacker. So, if you're tuning in for a sausage fest, maybe look elsewhere. But if you want psychological dread, a deeply committed performance from Jessie Buckley, and enough Rory to fill an entire season of *Doctor Who,* this one's for you.Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go file a false advertising complaint.And don't forget to head over to patreon.com/thepenskyfile to follow Clay and Amanda down the muddy path of remakes and reboots too!

Continuing our journey through excellent genre movies of the Marvel era, this week we're watching Dave's pick - Dredd (2012). Directed by Peter Travis, written by Alex Garland and starring Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby and Lena Heady, this no-nonsense sci-fi romp is all action, one-liners and impossible chins - a brutal if uncomplicated look at what the world might be like if everything became a massive city with all the bad guys living in fortified tower blocks. Don't worry about whether that's a bit problematic and just enjoy the ride. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tonight I'm joined again by professor and musician Doug Bielmeier for another Late Night Series Review!

Ben and Rob lock and load for Warfare (2025), the haunting, hyper-realistic war film co-directed by Alex Garland and former Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza. Known for cerebral sci-fi like Ex Machina and Annihilation, Alex Garland shifts gears into combat territory—while quietly stepping back to share authorship in a way that feels as radical as the film itself.Who is Ray Mendoza, and why did Alex Garland hand him the reins? Is it even possible to make a truly anti-war film in an industry that so often glorifies violence? And how does the bone-rattling sound design help Alex Garland disappear like a ghost from his own movie?The lads dig into the ethics of representation, the thin line between immersion and complicity, and—most importantly—what Warfare might really be trying to say beneath all the smoke, sweat, and shell casings.CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more!PLUS!

The Rage virus saga storms back as Danny Boyle and Alex Garland reunite for 28 Years Later (2025), a post‑apocalyptic, coming‑of‑age horror set nearly three decades after the original outbreak. Todd Kramer and Robert Nelson dive into a secluded island community where young Spike (Alfie Williams) and his scavenger father (Aaron Taylor‑Johnson) face a mission into the infected mainland to save his ailing mother (Jodie Comer). Todd savors the surreal folk‑horror tones and iPhone‑shot visuals; Robert wonders if the emotional undercurrent and cult satire elevate the franchise—or undermine its raw power. Will 28 Years Later resonate as a bold reinvention, or does it fumble its legacy? The hosts unpack the tension, performances, and thematic depth—teasing you with enough questions to keep wondering: does the rage still mean something?

On this A24 Vibe Discussion, the A24 Rocks crew discusses a Danny Boyle film for the first time. None other than the recent critically-acclaimed zombie thriller "28 Years Later." Written by Alex Garland (writer of A24 films such as Ex Machina, Men, and Civil War), 28 Years Later is the third film in the 28 Days Later universe. These film reviewers ask if it stays truthful to the first film, and if it was worth making. Is it even better than 28 Days Later? What kind of themes does this infection movie touch on given what the human race has dealt with since 2020? Also, why did they give some zombies a third leg?

This week, we watch the third entry in the film franchise that is 23 years old and introduced fast zombies to the world. This film has been in development since shortly after the second entry in 2007, and it might be the first movie where the edit was influenced by choices made by the trailer team. 28 Years Later (2025), directed by Danny Boyle.

Ben and Rob head to the frontlines with Alex Garland's Civil War (2024), the film that he intended to be his last in the directors chair. Starring Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, and Nick Offerman, Civil War isn't your typical dystopian epic. Instead, Alex Garland delivers a chilling, ground-level road movie where journalists race through a divided America to document its collapse. But why did Alex Garland decide Civil War would be his final film? And why is journalism such a personal subject for this movie?The lads also dive into the film's technical side, unpacking how Alex Garland uses chromatic aberration to distort reality and amplify tension without the audience even realising. Is it a visual gimmick, or a metaphor for truth being refracted and fragmented?Finally, they ask the big question: what does Civil War actually mean? Is Garland predicting the fall of democracy, mourning it, or just trying to warn us while he still can?One thing's certain: with Civil War, Alex Garland didn't just make one of A24's most successful films, he made a film that may still predict the future.

This week on *The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast*, Clay and Amanda venture into the shimmer—no, not a drag revue (though that would also be excellent)—but the terrifying alien zone at the center of Alex Garland's 2018 sci-fi horror epic, *Annihilation*. They unpack the film's eerie, mind-bending blend of science fiction and psychological terror, its themes of identity and self-destruction, and how grief mutates not just the body, but the mind. With a cast led by Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson, and Oscar Isaac (sort of), and unforgettable sequences involving crystal trees, creepy doubles, and *that bear*, *Annihilation* isn't just a movie—it's an existential gut-punch wrapped in plant DNA. Clay and Amanda are here to guide you through it like a pair of academic ghost hunters armed with field notes and strong opinions.Meanwhile, I'm just trying to keep it together. I don't *do* plants. Never have, never will. They're sneaky. Too quiet. One minute they're peacefully photosynthesizing, and the next they're sprouting human teeth and absorbing your memories. I watched *Annihilation* on a dare, and now every time I pass a hedge I flinch. The ivy on my neighbor's fence? Suspicious. The succulent on my desk? I swear it moved. So yeah, it's safe to say this movie wasn't exactly a comfort watch. If you're like me—someone who's suspicious of anything green and doesn't have a spine—you might want to listen to this one with the lights on and a can of weed killer within arm's reach. But hey, at least Clay and Amanda are brave enough to face the shimmer so I don't have to. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to check if my fern is whispering my name again.And don't forget to head over to patreon.com/thepenskyfile to follow Clay and Amanda down the muddy path of remakes and reboots too!

Josh is joined by Horror Correspondents Daniel Lima and Gage Eggleston for a double feature. First, they discuss 28 Years Later (Beginning-35:29) including how Danny Boyle and Alex Garland rendered the world visually after returning to the franchise after more than two decades, the depiction of a community living under quarantine while the rest of the world moved on from the awful virus that turns people into zombie-like beings, the quality of the action set pieces, the performances and much more! Then, they talk about M3GAN 2.0 (35:30-End) including it the tonal shift the movie went for worked, if they bought the character arc its sets M3GAN the character on, its twists involving the villains and whether they were convincing, how it comments on where we are in the real world with respect to AI and much more! Produced and Edited by Daniel Lima.

Chaos, Frame by Frame: Alex Garland's Civil War We're on top of it. The podcast continues to look into the possible disintegration of this country. We've discussed dystopias, comical and deadly serious looks at atomic annhilation, immigration abuse, fascism, paranoia, and now the full-on dissolution of the country. Last year Alex Garland directed Civil War a well-acted, interesting look at the fracturing of the United States. It's a problematic film that - probably - bit off far more than it could possibly chew. There's a great deal to admire in this film, including an exceptional Kirsten Dunst, however the film itself falls short of capturing a realistic and compelling scenario that would inhabit this story.

On this week's show, Julia, Dana, and Steve return to the Rage Virus-infected world first created by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland two decades ago. They talk about 28 Years Later and what the zombie movie sequel has to say about now. A lot it turns out: COVID, Brexit, human mortality, and more. Next, they grapple with the media phenomenon that is Alex Cooper—the spunky and sexually frank host of the blockbuster podcast Call Her Daddy— by discussing the recent documentary about her rise, Call Her Alex.

The new apocalyptic horror film 28 Years Later takes place in the same world as 28 Days Later, where a deadly virus transformed the citizens of the U.K. into rabid blood-spewing creatures. The new film brings back the original's director and screenwriter, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland. It's set on a small island where a group of survivors (including Jodie Comer and Aaron Taylor-Johnson) eke out a modest existence. A desperate expedition reveals new allies and new horrors – because the infected have evolved.Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopculture Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
