Sam and Natalia continue their listener-requested 28 DAYS LATER watchalong by reacting to its first sequel, 28 WEEKS LATER.

28 WEEKS LATER is a 2007 zombie horror film directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, starring Robert Carlyle, Rose Byrne, Jeremy Renner, Harold Perrineau, and Idris Elba. Set six months after the events of the first film, 28 WEEKS LATER follows two young children (portrayed by Mackintosh Muggleton and Imogen Poots) who accidentally reintroduce the rage virus to London after breaking out of a NATO-enforced quarantine zone.

Generally considered weaker than its predecessor, 28 WEEKS LATER has since been critically reappraised as an 'underrated' sequel. Is it? Sam and Natalia find out.

Topics of conversation include mispronouncing Spanish names, that viral opening scene, running away, THE BONE TEMPLE, that FAMILY GUY gag about logos, BONES AND ALL, too much pasta, metaphors for the 2008 financial crisis, Natalia's scary toe, famous last words, speeding up TikToks, old people sacrificing themselves, THE TRAITORS, the opening scene of SCREAM, human morality, Nicholas Hoult's zombie movie, bad writing, stupid children, hilariously terrible London geography in films and TV shows, the BFI, filming outside 10 Downing Street, Gordon Brown, the DLR, 28 MONTHS LATER, the Jeremy Renner app, the Idris Elba subreddit, and YOU.
