Oberzombie Lucas Barwenczik (CUTS, Gelesen. Der Literaturpodcast) und Killerhund Fynn Benkert (Gelesen. Der Literaturpodcast, Schauplatz) sind zurück, um gemeinsam mit mir die Sahnestücke in Paul W.S. Andersons Resident Evil-Reihe zu genießen. Insbesondere Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) und Resident Evil: Retribution (2012) zeigen perfekt inszeniertes Digitalkino in drei Dimensionen. Dass dabei Story und Figurenzeichnung gefühlt minütlich neu ausgewürfelt werden, stört uns kaum. Ein bisschen streng müssen wir mit dem Dreamteam Paul und Milla nur mit Blick auf Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016) sein, der auf der Zielgeraden die ein oder andere falsche Ausfahrt nimmt. Ein schweißtreibendes Vergnügen. Phew!
On this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, we break down Sega's next video game-to-movie swing: a new House of the Dead film. We cover why Sega is calling it a priority after the success of the Sonic movies, the early details around Isabela Merced starring and executive producing, and what it could mean that Paul W.S. Anderson is directing. The big hook is the “real-time” approach, and we talk through why that could actually fit the frantic, arcade-style energy of the original 1997 game, plus what it might signal for a new wave of zombie movies.00:00 – Sega's new House of the Dead movie push and why it's a “priority”00:08 – Isabela Merced attached as lead and executive producer00:14 – Paul W.S. Anderson directing and what that suggests for tone00:14 – The “real-time” pitch and why it could work for this franchise00:27 – The game's arcade legacy, the chaos factor, and the pressure-cooker vibe00:42 – The old House of the Dead movie flopped, plus the bigger zombie-movie moment00:51 – Wrap-up and weekend sendoffSega is treating House of the Dead as a major film priority, likely fueled by how well game adaptations have been performing lately.Isabela Merced being both the lead and an executive producer is a meaningful signal that she's closely involved in shaping the project.Paul W.S. Anderson is a very specific kind of fit for this material, which can be exciting or worrying depending on your tolerance for his style.The “events in real time” concept is the most interesting creative angle so far, especially for a story built around constant pressure and momentum.The original game's identity is more “panic and pace” than deep lore, so a two-hour, continuous survival scenario could be the smartest way to translate it.Between this and fresh Resident Evil momentum, we might be heading into another era where zombie stories get a big studio push again.“The pitch is that this movie is going to be immersive. They're going to show the events in real time.”“If you are watching a movie that is, say, two hours and it's actually a two hour slice of a zombie invasion, maybe that anxiety will play a part in it.”“It didn't make a House of the Dead movie back in the day. It was a flop.”If you enjoyed the episode, subscribe to Geek Freaks Headlines, leave a rating and review, and share the show with a friend who loves game and movie news.

This week, we're surviving the apocalypse and dominating the table tennis court! Grab your paddle and your hazard suit because we've got a massive double-feature review for you.The Rage Virus is back, and it's bleaker than ever! We review Nia DaCosta's haunting and brutal sequel, The Bone Temple. Picking up right after the events of Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later (2025), this chapter follows Ralph Fiennes as a doctor tending to an ossuary of the lost, while Jack O'Connell gives a terrifying performance as a Teletubbies-obsessed cult leader. Is it the best entry in the franchise since the original? We're breaking down that Duran Duran-fueled soundtrack and that explosive ending!Fun Flix Fact: While Danny Boyle shot sections of the previous film using iPhone 15 Pro cameras for a gritty look, Nia DaCosta shifted to the high-end Arri Alexa 35 for The Bone Temple, giving this sequel a much more cinematic and deliberate visual style.From the Safdie school of high-anxiety cinema comes Marty Supreme, starring Timothée Chalamet. We discuss Chalamet's transformative turn as Marty Mauser, a narcissistic 1950s ping pong prodigy. It's a dizzying, fast-paced dive into obsession, "orange balls," and 1950s New York.Fun Flix Fact: Timothée Chalamet didn't just show up to play—he spent months training with professional table tennis players to ensure his "hustler" form looked legitimate on screen! Also, listen closely during the tournament scenes; that's Robert Pattinson providing the uncredited voice of the British umpire!To tie into the virus-ravaged world of The Bone Temple, we're stepping back 10 years to look at Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. We discuss how Alice's final stand against the Umbrella Corporation compares to the grounded survivalism of the 28 Days/Years universe.Fun Flix Fact: The "Red Queen" AI in this film was played by Ever Gabo Anderson, who is the real-life daughter of lead actress Milla Jovovich and director Paul W.S. Anderson. Talk about a family business!And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming.

Your favorite sleep-deprived monsters return this week to dive headfirst into Mortal Kombat (1995), directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, and its chaotic little gremlin cousin Mortal Kombat:Annihilation (1997), directed by John R. Leonetti. What begins as nostalgic love for flying bicycle kicks, techno bangers, and flawless '90s vibes quickly mutates into a full-scale emotional fatality.We lovingly scream about how the first Mortal Kombat is still a beautiful, dumb, perfect arcade fever dream where every punch sounds like someone slapping a rotisserie chicken and every slow-motion kick feels like cinema history. Paul W.S. Anderson gave us glowing eyes, practical sets, unforgettable character entrances, and a soundtrack that could legally be classified as a controlled substance. This movie didn't just raise us — it babysat us while our parents were in Blockbuster arguing about late fees.Then… we willingly walk into the Outworld disaster zone that is Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, a sequel that bravely asks the question: “What if we replaced half the cast, forgot how physics works, and spent the entire budget on Party City cosplay and unfinished CGI dragons?” We spiral into madness over:•Johnny Cage getting deleted faster than a bad tweet•Raiden turning into a dust cloud instead of, you know, lightning (sir???)•Random characters popping in like cursed Pokémon cards•Animalities happening whenever they feel emotionally ready•A centaur that may or may not be two American Gladiators sewn together in a garageAt some point the episode completely derails into debates about centaur anatomy, bad sequel trauma, why Scorpion keeps shooting demon snakes instead of a perfectly good spike-on-a-rope, and how this movie taught us — as children — that sometimes art hurts you on purpose.Through laughter, yelling, nostalgic joy, and light emotional damage, we celebrate what makes the Mortal Kombatmovie franchise endlessly rewatchable: insane fight choreography, iconic characters, wildly questionable creative choices, and the kind of beautiful stupidity only '90s genre cinema could deliver.CREEP-O-RAMA is: Store: CREEP-O-RAMAYouTube: @creep-o-ramaJosh: @joshblevesqueArtwork: @bargainbinblasphemyTheme: @imfigureAudio: @stranjlove

Our special "Trick 'r(esident) Tre(vil)" month concludes, with the 2021 cinematic reboot of the Resident Evil series. We've lost Milla Jovovich and Paul W.S. Anderson (except for an in-name-only producer credit), but hey, we've got a crap-ton of 1998 references to make up for it! That's because Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City promised to be a more faithful adaptation of the original video game source material, condensing the first two games into one movie. And yet, even with this allegedly more accurate representation of the beloved video game series, Welcome to Raccoon City clearly did not spawn the same sort of long-running, financially successful franchise that Paul W.S. Anderson's less faithful adaptation did. But...why? We pull out our Palm Pilots and investigate. Our Twitter Our Facebook Our Instagram Our YouTube Trev's Letterboxd Chris' Letterboxd

For a special Halloween edition of our "Success to Series" spin-off show, we're taking a break from our usual failures and instead beginning our "Trick 'r(esident) Tre(vil)" theme month, with a loving look at a series we unironically adore - Paul W.S. Anderson's six-film Resident Evil saga (2002-2016), starring Milla Jovovich. We explain why we genuinely enjoy this oft critically-panned series, once again pontificate on the star-power of Jovovich, and try to figure out why we're okay with the huge liberties Anderson took when adapting the video game source material. Ultimately, we take a look at each individual entry in the franchise, sharing our favorite moments and characters, and discuss why the series can possibly be viewed as a deeply personal auteur vision. Yes, that's right, we're still talking about Paul W.S. Anderson movies. So get ready to kick some zombie dogs - and kick aside any concerns about continuity or narrative logic, while you're at it - and join us for an in-depth look at Resident Evil.

Wirework lover and wife guy Paul W.S. Anderson tries his hand at an adventure classic with 2011's The Three Musketeers! How is he going to find a way to add Matrix fights, laser traps and exploding airships into this one? Starring Ray Stevenson, Luke Evans, Orlando Bloom, Mads Mikkelsen, Chrisoph Waltz, and, you guessed it, Milla Jovovich. After a successful heist in Venice, the musketeers and Milady manage to steal Leonardo la Vinci's famous airship plans. Athos (Matthew Macfadyen) uses his classic scuba ninja skills, Aramis (Evans) his Assassin's Creed cloak-wearing skills, and Porthos (Stevenson) his getting into prison on purpose skills. However, tragedy strikes when Milady, with the help of the Duke of Buckingham (Bloom) betrays the team and steals the plans for the duke. One year later, D'Artagnan (Logan Lerman) is a Gascon bumpkin heading to the big city to start duels with everyone he meets. After picking a fight with Rochefort (Mikkelsen), the best swordsman in France, he picks fights with the 2nd-4th best swordsmen in France: the Three Musketeers. But they become friends anyway, and engage in a highly bastardized version of the book's plot in order to thwart the evil plan of Cardinal Richelieu (Waltz). Will the team accomplish whatever they were trying to do? Will they integrate a bunch of 2010s style 3D elements? Will an airship be shot at by an even bigger airship? You'll just have to listen to find out!
“Cutting Deep into Horror” dives headfirst into Paul W.S. Anderson's cult-classic sci-fi horror Event Horizon (1997). Hosts Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfi unpack how a “haunted house in space” premise, Catholic-guilt undertones, and that infamous “I don't need eyes to see” line still rattle nerves. We track the film's bomb-then-cult trajectory, the ‘90s horror landscape post-Scream, and why the movie's gothic production design and jump scares work because they reveal character, not just because they're loud.Inside this episodeEvent Horizon as a haunted house in space: gothic corridors, lightning over a gas giant, and experiential terror over pure plot.‘90s context: the post-Scream pivot and where big monster/ghost cycles fit in that moment.Latin distress call (“liberate tutemet ex inferis”) and what it implies about a hellish dimension.Character-first fear: Captain Miller's zero-G fire memory; Dr. Weir's grief, guilt, and “no eyes” transformation.The “Baby Bear” airlock sequence and how the movie makes space hazards horrifyingly tactile.CO₂ scrubbers, ticking clocks, and the ship as a possible “immune response” vs. the doorway to literal hell.Space-horror lineage mentioned: Hellraiser vibes; Jason X, Leprechaun 4, Critters 4; plus how Star Trek often dabbled in horror vibes across series.Final act choices: separation charges, sacrifice, and the fake-out rescue ending.Quick nod to the new 4K collector's edition they watched and why it pops.Where to watch (U.S.)(Verified at time of writing; availability changes often.)Paramount+ — stream with subscription https://www.paramountplus.com/movies/video/WMpyEztvg53KrruaW94ZmQtPsLDdFkOl MGM+ — stream with subscription https://www.mgmplus.com/movie/event-horizon-1997 FuboTV — stream with subscription / free trial https://www.fubo.tv/welcome/program/MV002971960000/event-horizon Philo — stream with subscription / free trial https://www.philo.com/player/show/U2hvdzo2MDg1NDg4OTk2NDg0NzI2NDc JustWatch (aggregator) — quick status snapshot across services https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/event-horizon-1997 Note: The Roku Channel can surface the movie via premium add-ons like Paramount+ or MGM+ inside Roku; selection varies.
Mark and Norbert discuss the 2004 sci-fi action film Alien vs. Predator. Directed by Paul W.S.

“Do you see?” We never imagined discussing an Event Horizon comic on the podcast, but the moment the notion was floated, we were enthralled. The original 1997 movie, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, struck a chord back in the day, but it was also a movie that was obviously jumbled about and fumbled in the editing room. And since the story relied on the device of a spaceship lost in a black hole/literal hell for decades, it so easily allows for prequel expansion. All that's required are the perfect creators to expand the material. Maybe even mend some of it. Christian Ward and Tristan Jones are the perfect creators for Event Horizon. If you've read their work, especially Ward's time on Batman: City of Madness and Jones' time on Aliens, you're probably already subscribed to the new prequel series from IDW Publishing. Event Horizon: Dark Descent tells the story of the original starship crew who ignited the Gravity Drive, popped into the space between spaces, and found their damnation in the abyss. It's always a pleasure to have Christian Ward on the podcast, but this week, that's especially true because we're all geeking out about the original movie, discussing how it influences all of his work, and why prequels are a damn good narrative delivery system. Yes, we talk about trauma and therapy, but also demons and personifying hell in the most joyful comic booky fashion. Event Horizon: Dark Descent is the best book you didn't expect in 2025. Let's all go to hell together. Event Horizon: Dark Descent is written by Christian Ward, illustrated by Tristan Jones, colored by Pip Martin, and lettered by Alex Ray. Variant Covers by Jeffrey Alan Love. Issue 1 is now available from IDW Publishing, and FOC for Issue 2 is Today (9/1/25). Call your shop and get subbed. Also, continue this conversation with Christian Ward by visiting his Website and following him on Blue Sky and Instagram.

Ben and Rob board the Event Horizon this week, diving into Paul W.S. Anderson's genre-bending science fiction horror that flopped hard at the box office; only to rise like a cosmic demon into cult classic territory. Featuring powerhouse performances from Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill, Event Horizon remixes haunted‑house tropes, cosmic dread, and cyber‑Gothic design into a spaceship of nightmares.Can a haunted spaceship film feel like Alien, Hellraiser, and Solaris all in one? How do Fishburne's grounded reactions and Neill's unraveling physicist elevate this twisted space‑horror ride? And what about Paul W.S. Anderson? Is he a compromised studio hack, or the mastermind behind a misunderstood masterpiece?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much more!PLUS!

Our “Summer of Sam” continues as The Nomads of Fantasy board the haunted starship for Paul W.S. Anderson's Event Horizon, starring Sam Neill and Laurence Fishburne. We gush over the film's incredible production design, moody atmosphere, and a first half that lets the crew (and the dread) breathe. But we also talk about how the finale sputters into a dull ending—and how so much promising material was clearly cut, leaving a choppier, less satisfying experience than it could've been. Join us as we celebrate what works, lament what's missing, and imagine the better version that might have been.Stick around for a round of 20 Questions after the conversation!Safe travels, nomads.
