The Viral Infection - Shaun of the Dead (2004) vs. The Girl With All The Gifts (2016)

March 05, 2021 • A Horror Movie Podcast • Season 2 • Episode 4

Hosts: Emrys and Katie

Guest: Anna S

In our fourth episode we meet take it or leave it Horror fan, Anna. After watching “I Know What You Did Last Summer” at age 13, Anna has avoided Horror like the plague. However its Zombie movies that keep Anna entertained.

We discuss Crime vs. Horror, we get scared by a fisherman’s hat and a hook hand, we have bunkbeds, we wonder if kids still watch horror at sleepovers, we don’t notice there’s a zombie apocalypse, we leave on the child locks, we barely recognise Rafe Spall, we’re still allowed to smoke in a pub, we decide we all prefer slow zombies, we look for weapons, we ask them to smell my arm, we’re feral children that walked off the set of the Flintstones, we don’t use the Z word, we all think of the BT Tower fondly, we learn that film geography is different than normal geography, and we discuss the movies Shaun of The Dead and The Girl with All The Gifts.
