Episode 198 - Shaun of the Dead (and remembering Matthew Perry) - a podcast by Movie Podcast

from 2023-10-31T01:00

:: ::

How's that for a slice of fried gold?  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Megan, and Ethan (We're expecting to do a walk-by with Georgia and her new crew) as they head to the Winchester while waiting for all this to blow over as they review the Edgar Wright-Simon Pegg collaboration, Shaun of the Dead as our Patreon pick for Halloween this year. We're looking for cornettos in our 198th episode as we discuss:


  • Whether this film works if you dislike the principal characters

  • Ian's film school is back as he shares some insights he teaches his students

  • Whether the Don't Stop Me Now segment is genius or just stupid

  • What was it about early 2000s comedies and making jokes that were so far over the line

  • A few of us make petitions that some of the villains of the film might have been right after all

  • We also take time to remember Matthew Perry on the day after word spread about his passing

  • Whether or not Shaun of the Dead is the Best Film Ever
