Continuing their run of Unconventional Trilogies, the Rommies return to spoofy ol’ England for a quick bite of Classico Cornetto. Join them as they discuss all of the recurring bits, visual gags, and references to the first film in an otherwise unconnected sequel, and stick around as Matt drops an extremely controversial James Bond take, Tierney considers a hypothetical gluten AND dairy free Cornetto option, and they both call Collin out for his questionable Edgar Wright opinions.

Episode 93: Hot Fuzz

It is the romantic comedy with zombies...

Directed by Edgar Wright, Shaun of the Dead is the British romantic zombie comedy film which stars Simon Pegg who also co-wrote the film with Wright.

Rob and Jason rewind to 2004 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this cult classic that kicked off Wright and Pegg's Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy.

Shaun (Simon Pegg) is a 30-something loser with a dull, easy existence. When he's not working at the electronics store, he lives with his slovenly best friend, Ed (Nick Frost), in a small flat on the outskirts of London. The only unpredictable element in his life is his girlfriend, Liz (Kate Ashfield), who wishes desperately for Shaun to grow up and be a man. When the town is inexplicably overrun with zombies, Shaun must rise to the occasion and protect both Liz and his mother (Penelope Wilton).

Rewind & Review Ep 90 - Shaun of the Dead (2004)

As Johnny Vegas once said - “Who’s ready for ice cream?”
After nearly 200 episodes, we’re finally getting round to Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy, kicking off with the absolute belter that is 2004’s “Shaun of the Dead”.
A film which features more dead celebrities than Austin Powers’ address book; more cameos than a karaoke machine stuck on “Word Up”; and dares to ask the eternal question about whether or not dogs can look up.
Having honed their cinematic flair with the essential turn-of-the-century sitcom “Spaced”; Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg took their love of Romero’s Living Dead Trilogy (as it was then); melded it with British RomCom mundanity and created probably the best horror comedy hybrid since “An American Werewolf in London”; with scares, gore and laughs in equal measure, plus an absolute genuine heart. Twenty years on, this film remains a high watermark of British Horror and British Comedy, its status as a classic was never in doubt from day one.

Ep 197 Shaun of the Dead

Welcome To Horror - 6 Feet Deeper: “Shaun of the Dead” Here’s a little bonus episode from Adam of facts and things that we didn’t quite get round to on our main episode on Shaun of the Dead.
He apologises in advance for over use of the word “fantastic”, and warns that you should definitely listen to our main episode first, as this is a collection of random stuff that was thrown up whilst researching the film.
This may become a semi-regular addition to the main show in those circumstances that we have too much information to get through on an episode, so hope you enjoy this little transmission from the Welcome To Horror Fact Library.

Bonus Episode -  6 Feet Deeper: Shaun of the Dead

It’s part 2 of Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy, which means we get to make a hot fuss about Hot Fuzz!
A film which features four Oscar winners, only two of whom are actually credited; James Bond retrospectively auditioning to be a Columbo villain; and even if we don’t see a dog look up, we do see a Hound say “Yarp”.
Whilst “Hot Fuzz” is an exceedingly British spin on the very American sub genre of the buddy cop action movie; it also borders fantastically into the familiar trappings of folk horror; with our hero moving to an insular village of spiteful Daily Mail readers, willing to sacrifice anyone and everyone for “the greater good.”
With some returnees from “Shaun of the Dead”, along with more 90s/00s comedy stalwarts and a whole host of distinguished British characters actors; this movie maintains the momentum of its predecessor without ever being in its shadow, and, most importantly, is as funny as fuck.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.

Ep 198 - Hot Fuzz

Adam brings us another bonus episode of random facts and things about “Hot Fuzz” that we didn’t quite get round to on our main episode.
This time round he overuses the word “stalwart” and, once again, recommends you listen to the main episode first!
We hope you enjoy this little transmission from the Welcome To Horror Fact Library

Bonus Episode - 6 Feet Deeper: Hot Fuzz

It’s the conclusion of our watch through of Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy as we reach “The World’s End”.
A film in which we learn what that thing above the door is called; another Bond gets the chance at some classy villainy; and we can all acknowledge that the Sisters of Mercy are fucking awesome.
The Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy ends by combining the story of five school friends growing apart, with a sci-fi conspiracy of body-snatching alien invaders. There’s a few new faces in the cast, but essentially this is a victory lap for many of those we’ve seen before. Whilst it may be the lesser of the three films, that’s still no slight when you consider the quality of the first two. Still funny, still wonderfully executed, and possibly the best way to round things off, this is still great movie, even if it doesn’t quite match the dizzying heights of its predecessors.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.

Ep 199 The World's End

Here’s Adam with a bonus episode of all the facts and gubbins we didn’t quite get to on our “The World’s End” episode.
We recommend that you listen to our main episode (number 199!) first, before diving into this moras of info; and take a shot every time he manages to crowbar in a mention of Doctor Who.
We hope you enjoy this little transmission from the Welcome To Horror Fact Library

375. Man Fishetti - SHAUN OF THE DEAD (2004)

Co-executive produced, written, and directed by Dean DeBlois, How To Train Your Dragon is the fantasy adventure film that is a shot-for-shot live-action remake of the 2010 animated film of the same name – itself loosely based on the 2003 novel by Cressida Cowell. 

On the rugged isle of Berk, a Viking boy named Hiccup defies centuries of tradition by befriending a dragon named Toothless. However, when an ancient threat emerges that endangers both species, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader. We break down all things re-imagining the animated film into live-action, the cast, the look of the dragons, and how this version does or doesn't differ from its previous version.
