In “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple”, people have begin to adapt to this savage, murderous, bloody world. Bad news is, so have the bloodthirsty zombies. Since this world is changing, only the most aware, the most intelligent and/or the strongest will survive.

In the previous “28 Years Later” movie, he had to protect a young boy, Spike, and his mother, Isla. Now a new threat emerges. Is this world ready to deal with them? Is it worth finding out in the theater?

Featuring "performances" from Tom Sizemore, Michael Madsen, Cillian Murphy, Harvey Keitel, David Carradine, Crispin Glover, and yes, Roy Scheider, it's time to talk about ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWEIRD.

Welcome, everyone! Our Halloween Series goes down the home stretch with 28 Days Later! It's a zombie classic from 2003, directed by Danny Boyle and starring Cillian Murphy. We'll see how it holds up, and how Halloween appropriate it is. Enjoy!
To kick off Season 23 of Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes fly dangerously close to the sun with Danny Boyle's "Sunshine" (2007) starring Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, and Mark Strong.Both Mike Butler and Mike Field appreciate the film's concept and its stellar performances. It's a visually stunning, often awe-inspiring piece of sci-fi filmmaking. But the deeper they dig into the story, the more the cracks start to show; plot holes, frustrating character decisions, and a third-act shift that feels like it belongs to a completely different movie.Still, "Sunshine" remains a fascinating sci-fi entry worth watching for its ambition alone. It's a film that soars when it leans on its ideas and visuals…and burns up a bit when it drifts too close to chaos.
28 Days Later was chosen by show supporter Dylan — and it's one of the most defining British horror films of the 21st century. Directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, the film was a bold reinvention of the zombie genre, injecting it with raw energy, political undertones, and a sense of realism rarely seen in horror at the time. Shot primarily on digital video using Canon XL1 cameras, Boyle and cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle created a gritty, almost documentary-style aesthetic that captured a hauntingly desolate London. The small budget of around $8 million forced the team to rely on guerrilla-style filmmaking, often closing off sections of central London for only minutes at a time during early mornings to achieve its eerily empty cityscapes.Production began in 2001 and was marked by a collaborative, experimental spirit. Boyle and Garland drew inspiration from a mix of sources — from George A. Romero's Dead series to British social realism and viral outbreak fears of the late 1990s. The cast, led by relative unknowns at the time, brought grounded performances that added emotional weight to the film's chaotic energy. With its pulsing soundtrack, handheld visuals, and visceral tone, 28 Days Later became both a critical and commercial success, revitalizing interest in the zombie genre and influencing a decade of horror and apocalyptic cinema that followed.If you enjoy the show, we have a Patreon, so become a supporter here.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:NordVPNNordPassTrailer Guy Plot SummaryA deadly virus. A deserted city. And a handful of survivors left to face the unthinkable.From director Danny Boyle comes a new vision of terror — raw, relentless, and shockingly real. When the world collapses overnight, one man wakes up to find that civilization is gone… and something unspeakable has taken its place.28 Days Later — from the ashes of humanity, fear runs faster than ever.Fun FactsThe opening hospital scenes with Cillian Murphy were filmed in the empty Day Ward of a real London hospital that was being decommissioned.The haunting shot of abandoned Piccadilly Circus required the crew to block traffic for only 10 minutes at sunrise, with police assistance to keep curious drivers away.Christopher Eccleston joined the film fresh off his acclaimed role in The Second Coming and brought a darker, militaristic edge to his performance.The movie's terrifying “infected” movement was achieved by casting trained dancers and athletes to create unnervingly fast and fluid motion.Composer John Murphy created the now-iconic track In the House – In a Heartbeat, which went on to be used in Kick-Ass and The Last of Us trailers.Danny Boyle avoided traditional zombie makeup — instead, red contact lenses and digital blood splatter were used to keep the infected design grounded and cheap.The Rage Virus was spread through monkey blood in the film, but the opening sequence with real chimpanzees was filmed under strict animal welfare supervision.28 Days Later was the first horror movie to film inside the UK's M1 motorway tunnels, normally off-limits to filmmakers.The movie was banned in several Asian countries for its extreme violence and realistic depiction of viral infection.The success of the film led to a comic book spin-off titled 28 Days Later: The Aftermath, which bridged the story to the 2007 sequel 28 Weeks Later.thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback

This week on Big Trouble in Little Podcast, Andy, Joe Dubs, Zac, and Chaz rise from the shadows to explore the film that redefined the Dark Knight — Batman Begins (2005). The crew breaks down Christopher Nolan's gritty origin story that took Batman from comic book icon to modern myth. From Christian Bale's transformation into Bruce Wayne to Liam Neeson's stoic Ra's al Ghul and Cillian Murphy's chilling Scarecrow, the guys dive deep into the film's themes of fear, justice, and identity. Expect sharp analysis, behind-the-scenes insights, and the usual chaos as the hosts discuss how Batman Begins breathed new life into Gotham and set the stage for a new era of superhero cinema.
For the first time, Skip Intro goes to The Paris Theater in Manhattan to sit down with Rebecca Ferguson who stars as Captain Olivia Walker in A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE. Directed by Oscar-winning Kathryn Bigelow, the film was screened this month at the historic 535-seat theater — NYC's longest-running arthouse cinema. Ferguson shares what it was like to read the powerful script written by Noah Oppenheim and how working with Bigelow was unlike any other experience on set. The Mission Impossible actor also talks about jumping off the roof of the Vienna State Opera with Tom Cruise, Denis Villeneuve's love of veils and jingle jangles in Dune, and teases Netflix's upcoming Peaky Blinders movie with Cillian Murphy. Video episodes available on Still Watching Netflix YouTube Channel. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts.

Before we launch in Zarch, let's wrap off Zombuary with our masterpiece episode, "28 Days Later".

How much of Cillian Murphy's dong do you get to see? What did Brandon's mom initially think of this film? And have you talked to a pharmacist to see if Wegovy is right for you?

[REBROADCAST FROM Sept. 10, 2025] Oscar-winning actor Cillian Murphy discusses his new film, "Steve." Murphy stars as the exhausted head teacher of a last-chance boys reform school in the U.K.
Known for his early roles in Disco Pigs and Peaky Blinders, Cillian Murphy's career reached new heights with his Oscar-winning performance in Oppenheimer, a script he calls one of the greatest things he's ever read. Murphy sits down with Willie Geist to reflect on the cultural phenomenon of Oppenheimer, including his surprise that its complex structure and themes connected with such a massive audience and how Christopher Nolan's bold decision to write the script in the first person shaped his performance. He also opens up about his latest project, Steve, a heartfelt story of a teacher fighting to hold his school together while grappling with his own struggles mirrored by the challenges of one of his students, as well as what fans can expect from the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie.

It's the second part of our Steve Special, as composers Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow join me to discuss their score from the film. We've already heard from writer Max Porter and leading man Cillian Murphy, and that's available to listen to now. Big thanks to the team at the legendary Invada Records for providing us with the score before it was released.
We are double dropping bonus episodes of Soundtracking this week, as first Max Porter and Cillian Murphy and then composers Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury join us to discuss the brilliant new Netflix drama, Steve. Written by Max and based on his novel, Shy, Steve stars Cillian as a teacher at a reform school who struggles to deal with his troubled students while battling his own mental health issues. The music in this film is incredible, not least Geoff and Ben's score. Big thanks to Geoff, Redg and James at Invada Records for sneaking us a copy before it was released.
Nick Schager continues here with a look at the acting styles and similarities of UK actors Cillian Murphy and Daniel Day-Lewis. Also, after the re-release of Jaws into movie theaters for its 50th anniversary, should studios be doing more of this.

Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer, Peaky Blinders) doesn't like to do a lot of interviews — that's what people say. The Oscar-winning Irish actor now stars in the new Netflix movie, “Steve,” which follows a head teacher at a last-chance reform school. It's set in the mid-1990s, over the course of one critical day in the life of a student named Shy. During this year's Toronto International Film Festival, Cillian sat down with Tom Power to talk about the film, doing right by overworked teachers and why he's reluctant to talk about his work.Fill out our listener survey here.

Hey Lifers! You’re with Britt and Keeshia today because Laura has officially had her little Poppy! We’ll be bringing you an episode all about Poppy’s birth soon! Britt has been reunited with Ben and is back to enjoying marital life. Britt has been seesawing on the decision of whether to have kids or not for a while now, and this experience with breast milk has surprisingly not brought her any closer to the decision. Did you/do you feel an intense ‘maternal pull’ or are you still ‘waiting’ for it to ‘kick in’? Do you have ROMO (relief of missing out)? Or is there a part of you that misses some of the chaos that used to be in your life? We speak about Cillian Murphy’s new ROMO phase and how our new joy in life comes from high pressure hoses. There’s a new reality TV show where “true crime meets true love and judgement meets redemption.” We speak about whether we’ve gone too far with reality TV. Would you date someone with a criminal record? Would it depend on what the record was for? We unpack a video posted by Emma Paige; “your toxic traits are the opposite of your love languages.”It seems to check out in our lives! We also speak about a substack written by Lauren Talulah titled What The Cool Girls Are Quietly Doing Right Now . There seems to be a shift in the way people are showing up online especially with LinkedIn, wearing outfits that don’t try to be flattering, romanticising platonic dependence and posting much less. Have you felt a shift in what is “cool” online?

With Chris off on the fairway, taking his first proper holiday in approximately 20 years, its up to Helen O'Hara and James Dyer — the newly appointed Archbishop of Nerdbury — to hold down the fort, ably assisted by Empire news editor and former Pilot TV stalwart Beth Webb. Between the three of them, they do their level best not to refer to Cillian Murphy and Tim Mielants' latest film as Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve, which is for the best as both actor and director join us on this week's show, as does Sean Penn who chats to Alex about One Battle After Another. As well as Steve, we also review A Big Bold Beautiful Journey and The Lost Bus, but all all film chat is summarily derailed by this week's listener question, which opens the floodgates for an outpouring of nostalgia as we worship at the altar of ‘80s children's TV, including a certain pink and white stuffed cat.
Frank, Squeaks, and Thomas cover a packed week: dream casting for Netflix's BioShock movie, first takes on the Avengers Doomsday reveal out of Shanghai and what it signals for Doctor Doom in the MCU, Star Trek Day highlights and what the 60th anniversary year could look like, quick reactions to the 77th Emmys, why Warner Bros. Discovery is suing Midjourney, and fresh DCU talk after new Superman images and a 2027 date. We close with recommendations and a fast tour around the Geek Freaks Network. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Welcome, mid-week vibes, and today's lineup 01:14 Question of the Week: BioShock movie casting picks for Andrew Ryan, Atlas, Jack, and Little Sisters 07:02 Con updates: CrackerCon appearances, SDC Town Hall, LA Comic Con plans 08:22 Avengers Doomsday first look: Doom's armor, magic tech blend, symbols, and power-level stakes 19:42 Star Trek Day roundup: Starfleet Academy, preschool series on YouTube, scripted Khan audio series, LEGO collab, 60th anniversary plans, Trek cruise, and the Skydance chatter 34:37 Emmys 77 reactions: Studio's comedy sweep, Hacks love, Severance kudos, Andor writing win, and Hannah Einbinder's speech 41:27 WB Discovery vs Midjourney: what the lawsuit argues, fair use vs training, and where fan art fits 51:42 Superman Saga update: 2027 date, new images, Lex team-ups, Brainiac theories, and what to avoid with multiverse fatigue 58:34 Quick hits to watch for next week: TikTok U.S. buyout deadline, Disney + Webtoon digital comics platform 58:59 Recommendations: Foundation, Borderlands 4, Dimension 20 and Critical Role hype 01:04:34 Around the Geek Freaks Network and sign-off Key Takeaways BioShock casting drew strong picks like Cillian Murphy for Andrew Ryan and Gerard Butler or James McAvoy for Atlas, with Ewan McGregor floated for an all-voice heavy Atlas. The Doomsday footage suggests a Doom who mixes sorcery and engineering. Runes, sigils, and visuals hint at a villain who can carry multiverse-level stakes. Star Trek is gearing up for a busy 60th year with new shows, a kids series on YouTube to hook the next generation, a scripted Khan audio drama, and a LEGO partnership. Emmys 77 landed well for comedy and recognized top craft like Andor's writing. Studio earned the “actual comedy” praise many fans were looking for. The Midjourney suit could set important lines around training on copyrighted works. The show breaks down the difference between commentary fair use and model training. DCU chatter points to Brainiac as the smart next-step foil that forces a Lex and Superman team-up, while keeping the multiverse in check. Community notes: Geek Freaks will be out at events, and the Network has new episodes across the slate. Quotes “It looks comic accurate. More than I thought it would be.” “They're really good at visual storytelling in the MCU. This is the next facet of that.” “Studio is what The Bear pretended to be for years.” “We're in the early stages of the law. You have to scrape the edges to shape something that makes sense.” “Can we just not do the multiverse? Let's stay in this universe.” Call to Action If you enjoyed this one, follow and subscribe, drop a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, and share the episode with a friend using #GeekFreaksPod.
