Description

This week Paul & Amy break down the 2004 zom-rom-com Shaun of the Dead directed by Edgar Wright and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost just in time for it's 20th anniversary theatrical re-release. They discuss how it pays homage to zombie films that came before it, how it introduced British comedy to a wider audience, and so much more.

 

Next week...Beetlejuice! Shaun of the Dead is available to rent or stream on multiple platforms but don't forget to check your local library or apps like Hoopla and Kanopy!
