 New Episode Alert! 


This week on The Popcorn Podcast, Tommy and Ryan sink their teeth into Danny Boyle’s chilling sequel, 28 Years Later!

🎧 Episode Highlights:

28 Years Later

  • Set 28 years after the original outbreak, Spike (Alfie Williams) and his father journey from a fortified island into a rampaged mainland to find help for his ailing mother, Isla (Jodie Comer) 
  • The film reintroduces evolved, terrifying infected: the lumbering “Slow Lows” and unstoppable “Alphas”  especially the brutal Samson 
  • Powerful performances by Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor‑Johnson, and a standout turn by young Alfie Williams bring emotional depth to this intense horror‑drama 
  • Director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland infuse the sequel with a reflective, almost folk‑horror tone, blending haunting visuals—shot in part on iPhones with brutal societal commentary 
  • The final act introduces the cult‑like “Jimmies” and sets up the next chapter, The Bone Temple, adding layers of intrigue.
