TPToA Podcast 411 – The Last 28 Years of Us (The Last of Us S2 & 28 Years Later)Description
The Last 28 Years of Us
The last 28 years (or there abouts) of zombie films have really changed the face of the genre. With the introduction of fast zombies, and then the addition of different zombie types; like Rage monsters, infected, fungus monsters, behemoths, clickers, alphas, etc… we have come a long way from the barely threatening shambling shufflers of yesteryear. We’re not even confined to the big screen any more, with Zombies being perfect fodder for prestige TV, as well as cinema screens. Two watershed moments are our topic for discussion in this show; the continuation of the genre re-defining 28 Days later series and the second season of the Televisual video game adaptation tour-de-force series The Last of Us.
In this episode both Dion and Jill are your designated survivors, while Quinny and Peta both try to outrun hordes of zombies in very different parts of the world.
Synopsis
It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped from a biological weapons laboratory. Still living in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amid the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. When one of them decides to venture into the dark heart of the mainland, he soon discovers a mutation that has spread to not only the infected, but other survivors as well.

But we’re now we’re getting. Because we got. To go well, I got to go and see a different zombie. The last week we’re going to do 2 zombie universes tonight, so half and half kind of thing we’re going to do the last of the season 2 recap and also I will talk a little bit, very non spoilery I think about. Jill Dion 28 years later. Because, yeah, I feel like if I spoiled anything, you would be. Able to get your pitchforks and torches and chase me out of the encampment. Jill Yeah, I mean it’s. Fairly newly released as we talk about it so. Dion Yes. Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Speaker Yeah. Dion Yes, sorry about that. There we. Go do you? Wanna run it? No, I don’t wanna.

I will say Last of Us is. Jill Yes, yes. Dion Do. Come on, you’ve got to. Jill We’re gonna talk spoilers. It’s been the last episode. Has been out weeks ago. When does it finish? Martha. Weird. Yeah. Dion Yeah, it’s it’s. Yeah, it’s been out for like it’s it’s, it’s the the statute of limitations is done. I put the spoiler logo up. Everyone would have watching it anyway. I can’t. And also they spoiled it. Jill Last one. Dion Themselves. AH, HBO, Max or whatever. They now HBO Max. Max the go. Yeah. Yeah. HBO Max again. Jill HBO Max again. Dion They’ve they’ve done their own thing. Everyone knows Joel had an unfortunate second episode ending. Yes. So I don’t think there’s much we can sort of dance around now, do you? Did you require any thoughts about? The first season, Jill like, did you need to go back? And go actually what did. Happen in the first season. Jill Uh, not so much. I mean, the final episode was. Pretty. Speaker Uh. Jill Memorable. I guess you could. Say like that stuck in the. Head. But there might have been like a few things where I’m like, oh, I don’t quite remember that or this and that as they were. Dion It’s did it. Jill Like. You know, as it was reproached on the second season. Dion Did it stick in the head like a nine iron? Jill Ah, yeah, very reminiscent. Dion Yes, OK. Jill Now you and I both have not played the.
