All right, everybody, as you could tell, Aaron, goodness, what you just witnessed right there is what we're to be doing this entire episode because for our 2024 Halloween special, we are so pleased to be covering Sean of the Dead.

00:01:41.046 --> 00:01:42.426
It's bass.

00:01:42.426 --> 00:01:43.563
God.

00:01:44.022 --> 00:01:44.852
Welcome back everybody.

00:01:44.852 --> 00:01:47.493
Again, this is one of our favorite segments of the entire year.

00:01:47.493 --> 00:01:50.646
Aaron and I are both huge Halloween fans.

00:01:50.646 --> 00:01:54.147
I would dare to say that it's it's my favorite holiday of the entire year.

00:01:54.147 --> 00:01:55.209
Aaron, is it your favorite as well?

00:01:55.209 --> 00:01:56.808
No, I fucking hate it.

00:01:57.689 --> 00:02:00.210
Really getting into that that evil spirit, aren't you?

00:02:00.210 --> 00:02:11.425
Yeah, no, I love you know, I love you know, I've watched I don't know why for the last several years I have really come into that sounds dirty, but I've really enjoyed.

00:02:11.425 --> 00:02:12.806
Yeah, Halloween movies.

00:02:12.806 --> 00:02:16.770
And I've really enjoyed horror, like really like scary shit.

00:02:16.770 --> 00:02:18.371
like it's I don't know.

00:02:18.371 --> 00:02:20.633
When I was growing up, I was a huge baby nowadays.

00:02:20.633 --> 00:02:21.353
Love it.

00:02:21.353 --> 00:02:21.774
Yeah.

00:02:21.774 --> 00:02:23.794
I think I remember when we first became friends.

00:02:23.794 --> 00:02:26.276
This is like around 2010, 2011.

00:02:26.276 --> 00:02:28.782
I don't remember us really indulging in too many horror films.

00:02:28.782 --> 00:02:31.240
There's a lot of sci fi, a lot of action films.

00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.764
But it does seem like here recently, I feel like I've always had a certain attachment to horror films.

00:02:35.764 --> 00:02:39.469
But it seems like you recently you and I have more drifted that way even.

00:02:39.469 --> 00:02:46.349
towards like the sort of sloky horror or just like your your hits that you have when you when the Halloween time comes around.

00:02:46.349 --> 00:02:47.009
yeah.

00:02:47.009 --> 00:02:52.069
Already have watched like recently, you know, The Substance, which I know definitely body horror, things like that.

00:02:52.069 --> 00:02:54.449
Not really a Halloween film, but definitely Halloween.

00:02:54.449 --> 00:02:55.658
hey, she plays dress up.

00:02:55.658 --> 00:02:56.669
That's right.

00:02:56.669 --> 00:02:58.210
She does.

00:02:58.490 --> 00:03:02.229
And then I watched yesterday, watched The Deliverance.

00:03:02.229 --> 00:03:05.280
OK, which I'm just going to throw it out there.

00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.262
That's a stupid ass movie.

00:03:07.265 --> 00:03:13.662
I don't know what like there's some movies that just like with viral it's a top flitting your top movie on Netflix.

00:03:13.662 --> 00:03:15.794
Like what like that's I don't know.

00:03:15.794 --> 00:03:32.419
It's viral marketing is all it is That's all it is and everyone speaking of seeing movies in theaters I actually saw the movie that we're covering today for the Halloween special I saw Shaun the Dead in theaters, which we'll talk about here in just a moment before we get there before good Yeah, happy birthday to whom Shaun of the Dead yes, of course.

00:03:32.419 --> 00:03:33.299
Yeah.

00:03:33.299 --> 00:03:34.300
20th anniversary, everybody.

00:03:34.300 --> 00:03:35.878
Again, we'll get to that at some point.

00:03:35.878 --> 00:03:38.902
But yeah, this is the 20th anniversary, which is why I was back in theaters.

00:03:38.902 --> 00:03:47.127
Aaron, before we get to Shaun of the Dead, though, I want you to go over our previous Halloween specials and I'll have these all in the show notes that way in case anybody wants to go back.

00:03:47.128 --> 00:03:57.695
And I just anticipate you just making little Halloween noises as I'm talking throughout this episode.

00:03:57.695 --> 00:03:57.895
OK.

00:03:57.895 --> 00:03:59.197
Go over Halloween specials.

00:03:59.197 --> 00:04:00.997
Previous Halloween specials.

00:04:01.388 --> 00:04:02.758
This is our fourth year.

00:04:02.758 --> 00:04:03.780
It's a fifth year.

00:04:03.780 --> 00:04:04.129
Fifth.

00:04:04.129 --> 00:04:04.640
Fifth.

00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:05.381
One, two, three, four, five.

00:04:05.381 --> 00:04:05.852
Fifth.

00:04:05.852 --> 00:04:10.656
One, two, We're already on our bullshit.

00:04:10.656 --> 00:04:11.926
It's not even five minutes into the episode.

00:04:11.926 --> 00:04:12.407
got me.

00:04:12.407 --> 00:04:13.187
That got me.

00:04:13.187 --> 00:04:14.798
You're welcome.

00:04:14.798 --> 00:04:15.217
Thank you.

00:04:15.217 --> 00:04:16.730
We'll let the good times roll.

00:04:19.012 --> 00:04:23.757
For our first Halloween special, a special co-host Max Van Dogen joined Chris.

00:04:23.757 --> 00:04:29.262
I was not there, unfortunately, to discuss their favorite unsung horror flicks.

00:04:29.262 --> 00:04:31.362
Off the top of the dome Chris.

00:04:31.362 --> 00:04:35.701
Can you remember one unsung horror flick that you brought up from that show?

00:04:35.701 --> 00:04:48.942
I do actually one of them was one that we covered in 2022 so everyone who should stick around because when Aaron goes over the 2022 entry that's one of them that I list shut your mouth shut your mouth you're coming off stupid.

00:04:48.942 --> 00:04:59.502
Thank you in 2021 we discuss Frank Henenlotter's 1982 low-budget schlocky horror film Basket case.

00:04:59.822 --> 00:05:02.204
This was actually Aaron, this was your suggestion.

00:05:02.204 --> 00:05:09.288
I'm so glad that you recommended it because it is one of those sort of, again, schlocky horror films that you kind of have to know it.

00:05:09.288 --> 00:05:10.488
You had to have seen it.

00:05:10.488 --> 00:05:13.151
You can't just take someone's word for what this movie is.

00:05:13.151 --> 00:05:15.411
You had to have seen what actually happens in that movie.

00:05:15.411 --> 00:05:20.014
I'm going to try and re redo that impression because I'm actually really proud of that.

00:05:20.014 --> 00:05:22.937
That was like basket case.

00:05:22.937 --> 00:05:23.456
I don't know.

00:05:23.456 --> 00:05:25.057
your trailer voice.

00:05:25.057 --> 00:05:25.805
Yeah.

00:05:25.805 --> 00:05:30.086
We discussed Frank Henenlotter's basket case.

00:05:30.086 --> 00:05:31.206
I like it.

00:05:31.206 --> 00:05:32.966
In 2022.

00:05:32.966 --> 00:05:34.786
Hello, kiddies.

00:05:35.466 --> 00:05:40.086
We covered the first film from the Tales from the Crypt franchise.

00:05:40.805 --> 00:05:43.005
1995's Demon Knight.

00:05:43.386 --> 00:05:46.766
And this is one of my favorite Dark Horse horror films of all time.

00:05:46.766 --> 00:05:49.485
I remember very vividly renting this from Blockbuster.

00:05:49.485 --> 00:05:53.069
I have the VHS cover burned into my brain.

00:05:53.069 --> 00:05:56.149
And yeah, it was one of the films that we covered in 2020.

00:05:56.149 --> 00:05:59.350
you were you were nice enough to let us cover it on the show.

00:05:59.350 --> 00:06:06.569
And then going into last year's entry, Aaron, this is one that we both came together and said this is a movie that we want to discuss because we don't think it gets enough love.

00:06:06.569 --> 00:06:14.550
Hell, Cunda Estrada Montase Cunda.

00:06:15.129 --> 00:06:22.286
Last year, we highlighted a recent favorite, which was Fetty Alvarez's 2013 reimagining of Evil Dead.

00:06:22.286 --> 00:06:23.235
A very good episode.

00:06:23.235 --> 00:06:24.526
Love last year's Halloween special.

00:06:24.526 --> 00:06:36.725
We're gonna keep these good vibes going here with our very first, I mean, you can make an argument for Basket Case for being a comedy, but this is our first comedy of, well, actually that's not true because you could also make a case for Demon Knight too.

00:06:36.725 --> 00:06:38.156
Demon Knight's sort of a as well.

00:06:38.156 --> 00:06:41.526
that Billy Zane was fucking golden in that one.

00:06:41.706 --> 00:06:48.346
Yeah, Billy Zane is like one of the best villains in like horror history from this silly, like he's the best part of the movie.

00:06:48.346 --> 00:06:50.146
Like the best part.

00:06:50.382 --> 00:06:54.463
All right, well, anyway, we'll get into our next entry here with the Shaun of the Dead.

00:06:54.463 --> 00:06:58.966
But first, everyone, if you want to support the Oblivion Bar podcast, consider checking out our Patreon.

00:07:04.067 --> 00:07:11.790
Behind the scenes look at how we prepare for each show with our episode transcripts, Patreon polls, which actually, Aaron, funny enough, that's how we determined our Halloween special this year.

00:07:11.790 --> 00:07:19.913
We put it out on Patreon and asked everyone to vote on which movie they want us to cover for our Halloween special and Shaun of the Dead won by a landslide.

00:07:20.694 --> 00:07:23.564
Shocker and honestly Aaron and I were secretly very excited.

00:07:23.564 --> 00:07:45.394
Yeah, yeah, we're in the back corner like in back of the original And also a whole bunch of other exclusive goodies over on patreon give it a shot with a seven-day free trial over at patreon.com forward slash a balloon bar pod or just go check out the show notes again We'll have all of our previous Halloween specials in there as well as way to support the show if that's what you want to do Enough preamble Aaron.

00:07:45.394 --> 00:07:51.069
Let's go ahead and get into our 2024 Halloween special covering Shaun of the Dead.

00:08:00.723 --> 00:08:02.875
Alrighty, here we are covering Shaun of the Dead.

00:08:02.875 --> 00:08:12.430
Now, Aaron, a little bit of set up here before we get into this actual, you know, again, we have a hard time sort of summarizing what this segment is outside of more of just a celebration, right?

00:08:12.430 --> 00:08:14.622
Like that's what these Halloween specials are each year.

00:08:14.622 --> 00:08:17.392
It's not really a review because that wouldn't be fun.

00:08:17.392 --> 00:08:19.605
We're not trying to, we're not here to critique these films.

00:08:19.605 --> 00:08:22.685
If nothing else, it is again, sort of just like us.

00:08:22.865 --> 00:08:25.908
It gives us an opportunity to celebrate these movies that we really love.

00:08:25.908 --> 00:08:32.815
And as we sort of spoke on a moment ago, Shaun of the Dead is a Collectively just one of our favorite films of all time.

00:08:32.815 --> 00:08:46.691
Absolutely I think the fun thing about doing something this and not This movie just like you said has been reviewed time and time again people write about it people talk about it people homage it people do everything for this film We're just fans.

00:08:46.691 --> 00:08:48.922
We have no Stake in the game.

00:08:48.922 --> 00:09:00.798
have we know we're just here to tell people what we fucking love about it because it's one of our favorite films and if you don't have it if you don't do that on a podcast and what are you having a podcast for if you just don't want to talk about the things that you love absolutely, you know And maybe somebody else can relate.

00:09:00.798 --> 00:09:02.791
Maybe you're like, yeah, yeah, that's a great reason.

00:09:02.791 --> 00:09:04.101
It makes me love it more.

00:09:04.101 --> 00:09:05.682
Or maybe I fucking hate this movie.

00:09:05.682 --> 00:09:06.183
I don't know.

00:09:06.183 --> 00:09:09.777
I don't know if I've met anybody that's ever disliked this movie though.

00:09:09.777 --> 00:09:10.488
Have you?

00:09:10.488 --> 00:09:13.200
No, you know, it's funny you say that because we just spoke on it a moment ago.

00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:21.687
AMC re-released Shaun of the Dead in IMAX and in Doby for the, was a one day release for the 20th anniversary.

00:09:21.687 --> 00:09:24.820
This movie came out in 2004 is of course now is 2024.

00:09:24.820 --> 00:09:26.926
So it was really cool to see Edgar Wright.

00:09:26.926 --> 00:09:30.067
talk about, they had like a little segment before the showing of the film.

00:09:30.067 --> 00:09:40.212
And this movie has got a great soundtrack, a lot of great sort of jump scares, which I'm not usually a fan of in horror films, but the jump scares sort of play to like comedy effect, which is really cool.

00:09:40.312 --> 00:09:45.166
And it was just cool to hear Edgar Wright talk about all that on a giant Dolby screen.

00:09:45.166 --> 00:09:51.219
And in that, like, again, if you've watched the film in Dolby, you know, it's like thundering the music and the sound effects.

00:09:51.219 --> 00:09:53.019
It just made for a really cool viewing experience.

00:09:53.019 --> 00:09:57.014
And I brought my girlfriend Olivia to that because she had never seen Shaun the Dead.

00:09:57.014 --> 00:09:58.775
And she loved it too.

00:09:58.775 --> 00:10:03.519
it was like you said, it's hard to find folks who just don't automatically love this movie.

00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:10.664
You know, and I know we're going to talk about this probably a little bit more, but I just, I want to say, when was the last time that you watched this?

00:10:10.664 --> 00:10:13.298
It was actually, it was during that rerelease.

00:10:13.298 --> 00:10:14.889
So it was about a month ago.

00:10:14.889 --> 00:10:15.239
Okay.

00:10:15.239 --> 00:10:15.820
So that was, yeah.

00:10:15.820 --> 00:10:17.431
So a month ago for you.

00:10:17.610 --> 00:10:20.633
So I watched it again today.

00:10:20.774 --> 00:10:24.866
I watched it probably about a month ago when I found out we were going to be doing this.

00:10:24.866 --> 00:10:27.977
But then I was like, I'm just like eat lunch.

00:10:27.977 --> 00:10:30.043
Let me just put on Shaun of the Dead again.

00:10:30.043 --> 00:10:33.070
just it it never gets old.

00:11:03.361 --> 00:11:13.874
Do D-D-D-D- Like there's something in it you can like pick up every single time.

00:11:13.874 --> 00:11:18.787
And I think the one thing that I picked up this time is the soundtrack and how good it is.

00:11:19.087 --> 00:11:20.950
It is such a good soundtrack.

00:11:20.950 --> 00:11:21.379
Agreed.

00:11:21.379 --> 00:11:22.259
And I think it's funny.

00:11:22.259 --> 00:11:28.134
I don't know if I have actually have a note for this, but the title screen when they're showing like credits.

00:11:28.134 --> 00:11:34.980
Well, yeah, the opening credits, the opening credits, the title music is actually from Dawn of the Dead, the 1978 Dawn of the Dead.

00:11:34.980 --> 00:11:37.971
So and again, as you said, there's multiple.

00:11:38.149 --> 00:11:42.351
Multiple songs on this that when I hear them out in the wild I immediately think of this movie.

00:11:42.351 --> 00:11:44.873
I want to ask really quick I don't have a note for it here in our transcript.

00:11:44.873 --> 00:11:50.304
I'm just curious What do you think this movie has sort of stayed in the the culture?

00:11:50.304 --> 00:12:00.999
like you know, it remains pervasive when you talk to fans of Ecker writes or Simon Peggs or Nick Frost or just like zombie films in general Even though they never call them zombies in this movie.

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.841
Why do you think this movie has sort of stayed the test of time?

00:12:03.841 --> 00:12:11.802
I think the only reason that it continues to be And I don't even want to call it a cult classic because it's more than just a cult following.

00:12:11.802 --> 00:12:12.631
it's beyond that now.

00:12:12.631 --> 00:12:13.581
It's beyond that.

00:12:13.581 --> 00:12:18.642
I think it's because so many zombie movies take themselves like so seriously.

00:12:18.642 --> 00:12:20.902
They've set into place these rules.

00:12:20.902 --> 00:12:25.162
I mean, and there's quite a few movies that don't, know, Zombieland, for instance.

00:12:25.162 --> 00:12:28.642
Zombieland is a fun one that does not take itself seriously.

00:12:28.642 --> 00:12:33.881
But also it's kind of like I think it kind of like loses its edge, its comedic edge a bit throughout some of it.

00:12:33.881 --> 00:12:37.272
So that's why it's not as held as highly as this one.

00:12:37.272 --> 00:12:45.268
Whereas this one just, this is just a, again, we're gonna talk about this later in a few minutes, but this is just a buddy film.

00:12:45.268 --> 00:12:47.691
This isn't a zombie film, this is a buddy film.

00:12:47.691 --> 00:13:01.261
This is a Ram Zamcom buddy film that is really about a friendship and how when the world dies, can friendships and relationships last that.

00:13:01.261 --> 00:13:04.365
Yeah, who are you going to go out and save first, right?

00:13:04.365 --> 00:13:09.179
When you're put in these situations, who do you go out and try to protect?

00:13:09.179 --> 00:13:21.349
And this movie is a great example of this where a lot of times in times of turmoil or times of, you know, when the world's up against you, you sort of realize who you are or who you've become throughout life.

00:13:21.349 --> 00:13:23.570
And I think the perfect example of this is Sean.

00:13:23.570 --> 00:13:30.345
Like Sean is one of the greatest examples of this idea because in the real world, in the mundane of the normal life, Sean is sort of an underachiever.

00:13:30.345 --> 00:13:34.330
He's someone who has no motivation, someone who is afraid to achieve.

00:13:34.330 --> 00:13:36.471
He's just kind of okay with his normal life.

00:13:36.471 --> 00:13:40.634
Yeah, he's established himself in mediocrity and that's okay.

00:13:40.634 --> 00:13:41.336
Right.

00:13:41.336 --> 00:13:48.041
And then, of course, as the world changes, as the apocalypse happens, and as he realizes that folks around him need him, that's where he thrives.

00:13:48.041 --> 00:13:48.741
Right.

00:13:48.741 --> 00:13:54.447
And I think to kind of build off the question I asked you, of course, I wouldn't ask you if I had an answer for it.

00:13:54.447 --> 00:14:12.590
I think the reason why this movie has pervaced its way throughout culture over the last 20 years and continued to be so loved is how smart this movie is from the visual gags to the script, just break neck, you blink and you miss it type of humor.

00:14:12.590 --> 00:14:21.097
I feel like every time I watch this movie and I've seen this movie well over 20, 30, probably closer to 30 times now, I feel like I find something new that I really love.

00:14:21.097 --> 00:14:34.846
know, like I remember in this most recent viewing again, when we went and saw it last month in the Dolby theater, the part that really made me, that really tickled me this time was when Nick Frost's character hands him a beer and someone goes, you and your boyfriend.

00:14:34.846 --> 00:14:36.206
And he goes, not my boyfriend.

00:14:36.206 --> 00:14:40.660
And he hands him the beer and he goes, the cooler's little, the cooler's turned off a little warm.

00:14:40.660 --> 00:14:41.399
He goes, thanks babe.

00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:41.964
Winks at him.

00:14:41.964 --> 00:14:45.591
I don't know why that tickled me so much this time, but that part really, really got me.

00:14:45.591 --> 00:14:48.842
There are multiple, there are multiple examples of this.

00:15:00.533 --> 00:15:02.313
He's not my boyfriend.

00:15:02.313 --> 00:15:03.164
Might be a bit warm.

00:15:03.164 --> 00:15:04.254
The cooler's off.

00:15:04.254 --> 00:15:05.414
Thanks babe.

00:15:05.655 --> 00:15:10.153
Do you feel at all relatable in our friendship?

00:15:10.153 --> 00:15:10.596
100%.

00:15:10.596 --> 00:15:18.200
Everyone right now, if you've never met Aaron and I in person, I will tell you that the relationship between Sean and Ed in this movie is Aaron and I.

00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.640
And I am Sean and Aaron is Ed.

00:15:20.860 --> 00:15:21.541
Am I wrong?

00:15:21.541 --> 00:15:23.042
Is that not accurate?

00:15:23.042 --> 00:15:24.333
No, you're not wrong.

00:15:24.333 --> 00:15:25.254
God damn it.

00:15:25.254 --> 00:15:27.224
It's sad to be the Ed in this relationship.

00:15:27.224 --> 00:15:27.813
Ed is cool.

00:15:27.813 --> 00:15:28.504
I like it.

00:15:28.504 --> 00:15:33.333
It's to be the Ed in any relationship, but you know, you can do the monkey impersonation though.

00:15:33.333 --> 00:15:34.774
That's the thing.

00:15:38.734 --> 00:15:40.573
Why don't you go over the summary here?

00:15:40.573 --> 00:15:46.533
In case anybody, if for some reason people are listening to this episode and don't know what Shaun of the Dead is, here's for the layman, everybody.

00:15:46.533 --> 00:15:46.923
Yeah.

00:15:46.923 --> 00:15:49.153
So Shaun of the Dead is a rom-zom-com.

00:15:49.153 --> 00:15:52.274
If you don't understand that, I'll fucking explain it to you right now.

00:15:52.274 --> 00:15:52.614
All right.

00:15:52.614 --> 00:15:55.509
It's a romantic zombie comedy.

00:15:55.509 --> 00:15:57.091
RomComCom.

00:15:57.091 --> 00:15:57.990
RomComCom.

00:15:57.990 --> 00:15:59.350
RomComCom.

00:16:00.692 --> 00:16:06.494
That centers around the uneventful, aimless lives of a London electronic salesman and his lumpy room.

00:16:06.494 --> 00:16:07.634
Fuck, am I lumpy?

00:16:07.634 --> 00:16:08.043
No.

00:16:08.043 --> 00:16:08.433
Jesus.

00:16:08.433 --> 00:16:08.731
Okay.

00:16:08.731 --> 00:16:09.855
am a little specific.

00:16:09.855 --> 00:16:10.375
Okay.

00:16:10.375 --> 00:16:15.196
Nothing seems to be going right when it is all disrupted by the zombie apocalypse.

00:16:15.710 --> 00:16:15.936
Yeah.

00:16:15.936 --> 00:16:22.138
And as we said a moment ago, 2024, they had the 20th anniversary re-release at AMC, which was great.

00:16:22.197 --> 00:16:24.989
The title, Shaun the Dead is a reference to George R.

00:16:24.989 --> 00:16:27.970
Romero's 1978 film, Dawn of the Dead.

00:16:27.970 --> 00:16:29.299
Of course, we all know that.

00:16:29.299 --> 00:16:32.760
There's also a shout out to another British zombie film, 28 Days Later.

00:16:32.760 --> 00:16:39.602
Additionally, the restaurant, Fulci's is a reference to an Italian splatter film director, Lucio Fulci.

00:16:39.602 --> 00:16:41.023
I think it's how you say that.

00:16:41.023 --> 00:16:47.524
There's also, I remember reading also there's a reference to From Dusk Till Dawn.

00:16:48.004 --> 00:16:52.115
a projected title for this originally was From Dusk Till Shaun.

00:16:52.139 --> 00:16:54.730
Yes, I think there's something about tea in there too.

00:16:55.870 --> 00:17:07.634
Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright considered a sequel that would replace zombies with another monster but decided against it as they were pleased with this movie as a standalone product and thought too many characters died to continue the story.

00:17:07.634 --> 00:17:11.695
Wright and Pegg both say that the following films are sequels to the ones before it.

00:17:11.695 --> 00:17:17.057
And when I say those films, I'm actually talking about the Cornetto trilogy, which we'll talk about here in just a moment.

00:17:17.057 --> 00:17:20.834
sort of off to the side here, we've got Quentin Tarantino.

00:17:20.834 --> 00:17:31.137
course, famed director of Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs and all the you know, you guys know all nine of his films, dubbed this as one of his top 20 favorite films since 1990.

00:17:31.137 --> 00:17:32.098
So that's a pretty big deal.

00:17:32.098 --> 00:17:34.220
Quentin Tarantino is sort of a student of the game.

00:17:34.220 --> 00:17:36.000
He knows good movies when he sees them.

00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:39.142
And the fact that Sean the Dead is in there is pretty, pretty awesome.

00:17:39.142 --> 00:17:45.703
Quentin Tarantino, not to go off into tangent, he's a hard guy to like pin down whether you like it you love him or you hate him.

00:17:46.044 --> 00:17:46.944
You just nailed on the head.

00:17:46.944 --> 00:17:51.301
Every time I hear him talk, I watch one of his movies and I'm like, This guy's a master.

00:17:51.301 --> 00:17:52.482
He's one of the best of all time.

00:17:52.482 --> 00:17:53.823
It's so easy to see that.

00:17:53.823 --> 00:17:55.824
Then you hear him talking like you're kind of a dick.

00:17:55.824 --> 00:17:56.263
Yeah.

00:17:56.263 --> 00:18:00.025
No, he's not kind of, not kind of very much a dick.

00:18:00.025 --> 00:18:01.315
And we'll talk about it here in just a bit.

00:18:01.315 --> 00:18:06.406
Edgar Wright, of course, the director of this film, the complete opposite, one of the most likable dudes.

00:18:06.406 --> 00:18:13.429
Every time you see him talk about anything, specifically movies and music, I think it is he is like one of the most enduring people.

00:18:13.429 --> 00:18:17.140
I think I could just listen, listen and talk about anything in preparation for this episode.

00:18:17.140 --> 00:18:24.317
Aaron, I actually went back and watched the audio commentator commentary, excuse me, of the film with Edgar and Simon Pegg.

00:18:24.317 --> 00:18:25.998
So it was so cool to hear them talk about.

00:18:25.998 --> 00:18:30.008
so fucking much, go ahead and break down the Cornetto trilogy for us.

00:18:30.008 --> 00:18:30.498
You know what?

00:18:30.498 --> 00:18:35.038
I will because sometimes this trilogy- so much, why don't you marry him?

00:18:36.198 --> 00:18:41.448
It's referred to as the Cornetto trilogy or the ice cream or sorry, the blood and ice cream trilogy.

00:18:41.448 --> 00:18:44.438
don't, have you ever heard it called the blood and ice cream trilogy?

00:18:44.438 --> 00:18:45.218
Never.

00:18:45.218 --> 00:18:46.597
No, it's always the Cornetto trilogy for me.

00:18:46.597 --> 00:18:47.309
Yeah.

00:18:47.309 --> 00:18:57.539
This trilogy includes, of course, Shaun of the Dead from 2004, Hot Fuzz in 2007, and then The World's End in 2013, all co-written by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg.

00:18:57.539 --> 00:19:07.730
Now, these films do not share any storyline, of course, but instead are named after the repeated passing references to Cornettos, which is an ice cream cone frozen treat.

00:19:07.730 --> 00:19:08.630
Fucking delicious.

00:19:08.630 --> 00:19:09.750
They're so good.

00:19:09.750 --> 00:19:11.559
So, let me ask you this.

00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:12.349
Yes.

00:19:12.349 --> 00:19:17.326
Before we kind of get into the meat and potatoes of Shaun of the Dead, I to kind of talk about the chunks.

00:19:17.326 --> 00:19:21.615
That's right the brains and stomach fluids of Shaun of the Dead.

00:19:21.615 --> 00:19:23.885
Can we talk about the Cornell trilogy really quick?

00:19:23.885 --> 00:19:27.675
Where does where does Shaun of the Dead sort of land on that top three?

00:19:27.675 --> 00:19:33.945
I honestly have a hard time because there's like I guess it's based on my mood majority of the time Shaun of the Dead is number one.

00:19:33.945 --> 00:19:36.185
Okay, but there's some every once in a while.

00:19:36.185 --> 00:19:44.301
There's a moment where I watch I watch that gaming hot fuzz is a very close second.

00:19:44.301 --> 00:19:47.281
It's either a close second or it's like tied for first.

00:19:47.281 --> 00:19:47.922
Sure.

00:19:47.922 --> 00:19:54.261
I fucking love hot fuzz so much for the greater good for the greater good.

00:19:54.261 --> 00:19:56.101
A big bushy beard.

00:19:56.101 --> 00:20:00.201
Actually, to be honest, I think I think hot fuzz might be my number one.

00:20:00.201 --> 00:20:01.162
I'm just going to it.

00:20:01.162 --> 00:20:02.872
Number one on the record.

00:20:02.872 --> 00:20:03.932
Yeah, hot fuzz on the record.

00:20:03.932 --> 00:20:04.852
Hot fuzz number one.

00:20:04.852 --> 00:20:07.086
Sean does number two and the world's end.

00:20:07.086 --> 00:20:12.405
Which I really do enjoy, but it's just, it's not one that I want to like, I want to jump back into every once in a while.

00:20:12.405 --> 00:20:13.865
I'll tell you this.

00:20:13.865 --> 00:20:17.316
Anytime Sean of the dead or hot fuzz is on, I will watch them.

00:20:17.316 --> 00:20:22.385
But more than likely, if it was a choice between hot fuzz and Sean of the dead, I would probably put on hot fuzz first.

00:20:22.385 --> 00:20:23.205
Yeah, I agree.

00:20:23.205 --> 00:20:24.086
I think it is very close.

00:20:24.086 --> 00:20:26.826
I think it's one a one B between Sean the dead and hot fuzz.

00:20:26.826 --> 00:20:30.925
Although I think Sean the dead for me is maybe slightly higher, just a little bit.

00:20:30.925 --> 00:20:32.056
I really love hot fuzz.

00:20:32.056 --> 00:20:33.385
You know, I love hot fuzz.

00:20:33.385 --> 00:20:35.711
And then again, as you said, the world's end.

00:20:35.711 --> 00:20:39.044
is also very entertaining, but it's just kind of like a distant third.

00:20:39.423 --> 00:20:41.224
For no real specific reason.

00:20:41.224 --> 00:20:44.727
Again, I think it's just as fun, just as sort of lovable.

00:20:44.727 --> 00:20:50.069
There's moments in that movie that are just as touching as what we see in Shaun the Dead and in Hot Fuzz.

00:20:50.069 --> 00:20:51.111
But I don't know.

00:20:51.111 --> 00:20:54.461
There's just something about Shaun the Dead and Hot Fuzz that really speaks to me.

00:20:54.461 --> 00:20:55.893
I'm going to have to go back.

00:20:55.893 --> 00:21:08.233
So I think part of it for me might just simply because the Simon Peggs character in The World's End, in every other movie, he's kind of He is a little bit cocky, but he's like just kind of confident.

00:21:08.233 --> 00:21:14.864
Whereas in World's End, his character is more of a cocky asshole and like nobody really likes him.

00:21:14.864 --> 00:21:16.953
He's a lot more selfish than the third one for sure.

00:21:16.953 --> 00:21:17.074
Yeah.

00:21:17.074 --> 00:21:24.493
And then the other thing is, and I could be wrong, I might be, don't take this for, you know, cement facts right here.

00:21:24.493 --> 00:21:31.673
I'm pretty sure that the World's End came out around a time where there were a lot of like alien focused movies.

00:21:32.536 --> 00:21:33.215
What's the other one?

00:21:33.215 --> 00:21:35.405
was like a neighborhood watch.

00:21:35.405 --> 00:21:36.688
Did ever see that one?

00:21:36.688 --> 00:21:36.896
yeah.

00:21:36.896 --> 00:21:38.548
guy from the IT crowd.

00:21:38.548 --> 00:21:38.909
Yeah.

00:21:38.909 --> 00:21:39.459
Ben Stiller.

00:21:39.459 --> 00:21:40.910
I'm pretty sure it came around the same time.

00:21:40.910 --> 00:21:44.510
So like, just feel like that one kind of got like washed over a little bit as well.

00:21:44.510 --> 00:21:45.010
Sure.

00:21:45.010 --> 00:21:45.340
Okay.

00:21:45.340 --> 00:21:47.471
So let me ask you another bigger question here.

00:21:47.932 --> 00:21:50.653
Where does Shaun of the Dead land on your favorite Edgar Wright films?

00:21:50.653 --> 00:21:53.295
Not the Cornell Trilogy excluded.

00:21:53.295 --> 00:21:57.876
You know, you got Scott Pilgrim in there, Baby Driver, Last Night in Soho.

00:21:57.876 --> 00:22:01.057
Let's even throw Spaced in there, the TV show from that was on BBC.

00:22:01.057 --> 00:22:07.441
Like where does Shaun of the Dead land on the one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight films that he's done?

00:22:07.441 --> 00:22:09.617
I'd probably go with like maybe like third.

00:22:09.617 --> 00:22:11.623
OK, what's ahead of it?

00:22:11.623 --> 00:22:13.452
Obviously, Scott Pilgrim versus the world.

00:22:13.452 --> 00:22:14.324
Scott Pilgrim.

00:22:14.324 --> 00:22:19.445
That is one of my all time favorite movies that I could watch over and over and over again.

00:22:19.645 --> 00:22:21.916
And then obviously Hot Fuzz is just above that.

00:22:21.916 --> 00:22:23.708
And then I think that's really about it.

00:22:23.708 --> 00:22:26.148
They're everything else kind of cascading after that.

00:22:26.209 --> 00:22:28.529
Yeah, I think for me.

00:22:29.215 --> 00:22:31.666
I think Shaun of the Dead is probably number one.

00:22:31.666 --> 00:22:39.750
And then in a very, very close second would probably be Hot Fuzz, then Scott Pilgrim, and then like very, very close to Scott Pilgrim.

00:22:39.750 --> 00:22:40.790
Baby Driver.

00:22:40.790 --> 00:22:44.991
I saw Baby Driver when that movie first came out back in 2017.

00:22:44.991 --> 00:22:47.603
I saw that movie three times before it actually even hit theaters.

00:22:47.603 --> 00:22:50.755
I went to three separate early screeners to see this movie.

00:22:50.755 --> 00:22:52.955
I know how much you love Baby Driver.

00:22:52.955 --> 00:22:56.176
And I don't know why I know that you love that movie so much.

00:22:56.176 --> 00:22:59.117
Like Baby Driver and Whiplash.

00:22:59.117 --> 00:23:03.718
Yes, those are like several of the movies that you just fucking love those movies, man.

00:23:03.718 --> 00:23:06.718
I mean, he retarded.

00:23:07.357 --> 00:23:09.478
Retarded means slow, was he slow?

00:23:09.478 --> 00:23:12.077
No, they don't sound retarded to me.

00:23:12.637 --> 00:23:14.728
He's a good kid and devil behind the wheel.

00:23:14.728 --> 00:23:16.337
What the hell else more do you need to know?

00:23:16.337 --> 00:23:20.317
For a while, Baby Driver was one of those movies that I had to show everybody and just kind of get.

00:23:20.317 --> 00:23:28.410
Now, the movie's got a little more problematic because some of the actors that are in that movie, specifically the main actor and then obviously Kevin Spacey in it as well.

00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:42.622
I it's awesome.

00:23:44.801 --> 00:23:48.632
And also like we just said a moment ago, Shaw the dead Aaron's number three shot.

00:23:48.632 --> 00:23:50.582
The dead for me is maybe number one.

00:23:50.582 --> 00:23:51.652
I think it is number one.

00:23:51.652 --> 00:23:55.922
Yeah, I like how you like we for the people can't see his face right now.

00:23:55.922 --> 00:24:01.567
He's got like a pirate kind of face going on like Maybe no, you know, like he's really thinking about it.

00:24:01.567 --> 00:24:04.230
This is why I shot at the dead.

00:24:04.230 --> 00:24:04.769
Edgar.

00:24:04.769 --> 00:24:07.311
Edgar Wright is one of my favorite directors of all time.

00:24:07.311 --> 00:24:11.954
So to sort of try to categorize the films and stuff that he's done, it's tough.

00:24:11.954 --> 00:24:13.365
Like, I want to get that right, of course.

00:24:13.365 --> 00:24:16.018
So, yeah, talk a little bit about Edgar Wright here.

00:24:16.018 --> 00:24:19.661
We got some fun facts here, not only with Edgar Wright, but also with Sean the dead.

00:24:19.661 --> 00:24:25.114
OK, so during the Remembering Z Day montage, there is a long shot of the zombies walking through a park.

00:24:25.114 --> 00:24:28.087
Edgar is the one in in black who falls over himself.

00:24:28.087 --> 00:24:32.199
He also makes a voice cameo as the host of Fulci's Italian restaurant.

00:24:32.199 --> 00:24:39.340
Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright were also the minds behind the cult favorite British sitcom, Spaced, which ran from 1999 to 2001.

00:24:39.340 --> 00:24:41.981
Real quick, have you seen Spaced?

00:24:41.981 --> 00:24:43.061
I have not seen Spaced.

00:24:43.061 --> 00:24:45.603
It is on my two watch list.

00:24:45.603 --> 00:24:46.202
Okay.

00:24:46.202 --> 00:24:49.703
I have the DVD.

00:24:49.703 --> 00:24:56.746
just to sort of expose myself and showcase how much of a DVD, Blu-ray, 4K snob I am.

00:24:56.875 --> 00:24:59.696
I only have two DVDs in my entire collection.

00:24:59.696 --> 00:25:01.127
Everything else is a Blu-ray and up.

00:25:01.127 --> 00:25:06.710
The only two DVDs I have are the first season of Tales from the Crypt and Spaced season one and two.

00:25:06.829 --> 00:25:09.682
So yeah, it's one of those ones that it's and it's awesome.

00:25:09.682 --> 00:25:13.153
If you've never seen Space, everybody, Aaron included, go watch it.

00:25:13.153 --> 00:25:17.185
I know it's been on my list for like a long time because I've been really wanting to.

00:25:17.185 --> 00:25:20.056
I think it's currently on Amazon.

00:25:20.056 --> 00:25:22.217
So if you want to watch it, it is on Amazon.

00:25:22.217 --> 00:25:24.672
So Shaun of the Dead was inspired by art.

00:25:24.672 --> 00:25:33.884
An episode of spaced this episode involves pegs character hallucinating a zombie invasion after playing the video game Resident Evil 2 while under the influence of drugs.

00:25:34.204 --> 00:25:34.845
Yes.

00:25:34.845 --> 00:25:36.065
And Aaron, I think you know this.

00:25:36.065 --> 00:25:40.467
I don't know if everyone listen to this right now, but Resident Evil 2 one of my favorite games of all time.

00:25:40.467 --> 00:25:43.678
Back in the day, I used to try to speed run that thing as quickly as I could.

00:25:43.678 --> 00:25:47.229
I would just go on easy mode and just see how quickly I could get through the game.

00:25:47.229 --> 00:25:48.459
But yeah, that's interesting.

00:25:48.459 --> 00:25:49.660
And that's a great episode of space.

00:25:49.660 --> 00:25:51.329
I don't know if that's the.

00:25:51.329 --> 00:26:00.509
the definition of speed running, but I guess that's speed running in the sense of like, like people will like do three backflips in Mario Odyssey and somehow get to the very end.

00:26:00.509 --> 00:26:06.433
But like now I would just like we would all just chug Mountain Dew Coat Red and see how quickly we could get through it.

00:26:06.433 --> 00:26:08.275
Yeah, I'm all hyped up.

00:26:08.275 --> 00:26:15.396
Many of the zombie extras were recruited through the spaced out fan website, which was dedicated to spaced super fans.

00:26:15.396 --> 00:26:17.057
So again, a lot of space references.

00:26:17.057 --> 00:26:21.057
And if you look at sort of the filmography of Echo Wright, there is a bit of a gap.

00:26:21.057 --> 00:26:24.292
between A Fistful of Fingers in 95 and Shaun of the Dead in 2004.

00:26:24.292 --> 00:26:27.857
And that's because Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright were working on Spaced.

00:26:27.857 --> 00:26:35.321
Now know that was like a rumored season three for a bit, but now again, if you've seen the series, you know that they could never go back to it.

00:26:35.362 --> 00:26:37.252
They've aged out of their roles.

00:26:37.252 --> 00:26:41.354
Everybody has, because Jessica Stevenson who plays Yvonne in this is also obviously in Spaced.

00:26:41.354 --> 00:26:44.585
So people will see her and automatically know where she's from.

00:26:44.585 --> 00:26:47.201
Again, I cannot recommend people enough.

00:26:47.201 --> 00:26:47.892
to go see Space.

00:26:47.892 --> 00:26:51.365
I think it's one of those shows that everyone should check out, especially if you're a fan of Edgar Wrights.

00:26:51.365 --> 00:26:55.307
So the cast of Shaun of the Dead is as follows.

00:26:55.307 --> 00:26:59.250
Simon Pegg is Shaun, Nick Frost is Ed, Kate Ashfield is Liz.

00:26:59.250 --> 00:27:01.451
Bye, bye, bye.

00:27:01.451 --> 00:27:15.681
Lucy Davis is Diane, Dylan Moran as David, Bill Nye as Philip, Penelope Wilton as Barbara, Jessica Stevenson as Yvonne, Peter, Sarah Fittowich as Pete, and Rafay Spall.

00:27:16.086 --> 00:27:17.567
as Noel.

00:27:18.268 --> 00:27:21.429
He could be dead or still pissed off at you.

00:27:22.530 --> 00:27:23.990
What does he yell up the stairs?

00:27:23.990 --> 00:27:25.432
Hey, I prick.

00:27:25.432 --> 00:27:27.874
I can't or I prick something like that.

00:27:28.454 --> 00:27:32.116
Here's something I didn't know until we started doing a little bit research for this episode.

00:27:32.116 --> 00:27:37.580
Sean's last name is actually Riley can be seen on a poster behind Sean's little disc jockey area.

00:27:37.580 --> 00:27:39.442
It's back when he used to be a DJ.

00:27:39.442 --> 00:27:44.226
And according to Simon Pegg, his reaction to Barbara dying in the film is actually authentic.

00:27:44.226 --> 00:27:52.388
He imagined the scene as if his own mother was being killed and after her death seen in the film, both Simon Pegg and Nick Frost cried real tears together.

00:28:12.980 --> 00:28:14.712
What does that mean?

00:28:14.712 --> 00:28:17.605
This isn't exactly fair! Here.

00:28:17.605 --> 00:28:18.247
Thank you.

00:28:18.247 --> 00:28:19.208
It's OK.

00:28:21.450 --> 00:28:23.570
Can we just stop and think about this?

00:28:23.570 --> 00:28:25.692
Tell him to put the gun down.

00:28:25.692 --> 00:28:27.113
Look, Lizzie, she's going to change.

00:28:27.113 --> 00:28:28.073
You know, I'm right.

00:28:28.073 --> 00:28:31.273
And when she does, she'll come back and she'll kill all of us.

00:28:31.273 --> 00:28:32.884
That's what your ex can't seem to realize.

00:28:32.884 --> 00:28:34.236
That's what this is about.

00:28:34.236 --> 00:28:36.287
It's kind of dark, but yeah, just channel.

00:28:36.287 --> 00:28:37.957
However you got to, right?

00:28:39.438 --> 00:28:48.622
When Ed is being bitten by a zombie near the end of the film, the sound effect of his scream is taken from the character of Windows from John Carpenter's The Thing.

00:28:48.622 --> 00:28:54.422
The zombie that Sean and Ed find in their garden is Mary, the checkout girl from this movie's credit montage.

00:28:54.422 --> 00:29:04.682
A short story detailing her transformation to one of the undead was featured in issue number 1384 of the classic British science fiction comic, 2000 AD.

00:29:04.682 --> 00:29:06.711
The issue went on sale April 7th, 2004.

00:29:06.711 --> 00:29:13.021
The strip was called There's Something About Mary and was written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright with art by Fraser Irving.

00:29:13.021 --> 00:29:18.574
And, know, kind of speaking on Mary in this segment, we always see her later on in the movie as well.

00:29:18.574 --> 00:29:28.124
But why, again, why I think this movie is so great is the way that it foreshadows scenes and moments that we're gonna see throughout the film.

00:29:28.124 --> 00:29:36.233
So like, there'll be a quick throw away something in the background or someone will say something and then it'll kind of come to fruition later on in movie.

00:29:36.394 --> 00:29:40.433
So here are some of our favorite foreshadowing moments throughout the movie.

00:29:40.433 --> 00:29:47.296
Again, hilarious script, but also it's sort of, again, and I actually had to warn Olivia when we went to go see it.

00:29:47.296 --> 00:29:49.297
a blink and you miss it moment.

00:29:49.297 --> 00:29:50.827
This movie does not slow down for you at all.

00:29:50.827 --> 00:29:56.970
It's a quick snappy, just like what, what, what, like they're just doing the same things and you have to keep up, which is why I love it so much.

00:29:56.970 --> 00:29:57.951
It's the scenery.

00:29:57.951 --> 00:29:59.172
It's the dialogue.

00:29:59.172 --> 00:30:02.373
It's the pacing, everything, the music.

00:30:02.373 --> 00:30:08.546
It's just everything plays into what's going to happen further or like right, right next.

00:30:08.546 --> 00:30:10.576
You know, it's, it's, so much fun.

00:30:10.576 --> 00:30:13.758
Basically nothing in this movie is an accident.

00:30:13.758 --> 00:30:19.932
Everything that is put in this movie, this script is so tight that everything put in this movie, there's a reason for it.

00:30:19.932 --> 00:30:25.586
And usually not only is there a reason for it, but it'll be called back to at some point later in the movie.

00:30:25.586 --> 00:30:37.344
according to the audio commentary of the film, Wright highlights when Ed attempts to cheer Sean up at the Winchester with plans to binge drink, he is actually summarizing the events of the next day, which is of course Z day, entirely in drinking references.

00:30:37.344 --> 00:30:42.096
So in Bloody Mary, like we just said a moment ago, is the checkout girl named Mary in the back garden.

00:30:42.096 --> 00:30:43.501
We have Bite the King's Head.

00:30:43.501 --> 00:30:45.942
which is Philip being bit on the day of Z-Day.

00:30:45.942 --> 00:30:50.506
We have the couple, which is Dave and Diane, who we'll meet the next day.

00:30:50.506 --> 00:30:53.467
Little Princess is Liz, which is of course Sean's girlfriend.

00:30:53.467 --> 00:30:55.868
Staggerback, which is impersonating zombies.

00:30:55.868 --> 00:30:59.089
And then Barfer Shots, which is firing the rifle at the Winchester.

00:30:59.089 --> 00:31:04.813
When Sean and Ed are listening to Electro, Pete tells Ed that if he wants to live like an animal, he can live in the shed.

00:31:04.813 --> 00:31:07.845
Later, Sean keeps Ed in the shed at the end of the movie.

00:31:07.845 --> 00:31:11.876
And after he becomes a zombie, Ed also says, next time I see him, he's dead.

00:31:11.876 --> 00:31:16.634
The next time Ed sees Pete, He is a zombie.

00:31:16.634 --> 00:31:22.676
Sean tells the football kid you're dead when he almost hits him with a soccer ball in that one long continuous shot at beginning of film.

00:31:22.676 --> 00:31:24.836
In the next long take, we see that kid.

00:31:24.836 --> 00:31:26.738
He is, of course, in fact, dead.

00:31:26.738 --> 00:31:38.471
And then when when Diane tells David that he that she knows that they've only been together after Liz rejected him in college, she was there to pick up the pieces, foreshadowing what happens later when David is killed at the Winchester.

00:31:38.471 --> 00:31:40.291
She like grab his leg or something.

00:31:40.291 --> 00:31:41.708
I didn't even notice that one.

00:31:41.708 --> 00:31:44.338
I can't remember exactly what it is, but she kept his leg or arm or something.

00:31:44.338 --> 00:31:45.298
Yeah.

00:31:45.369 --> 00:31:45.619
man.

00:31:45.619 --> 00:31:46.609
I didn't even realize that.

00:31:46.609 --> 00:31:47.891
It's pretty brutal.

00:31:47.891 --> 00:31:48.820
man.

00:31:48.820 --> 00:31:55.604
Apparently, I don't have it in here, but apparently there is like a deleted scene or something where Diane actually survives.

00:31:55.604 --> 00:32:02.946
So she goes into the crowd, she survives and she ends up like going up in a tree and survives off that limb that she takes from David.

00:32:02.946 --> 00:32:06.828
And she like survives a couple of days through the zombie apocalypse off that leg.

00:32:06.828 --> 00:32:15.089
And then when everyone's, know, when the Z days over, They become like pen pals with with Liz and Sean.

00:32:15.250 --> 00:32:16.230
Interesting.

00:32:16.230 --> 00:32:19.619
So near the beginning of the movie, Ed is playing on the PlayStation 2.

00:32:19.619 --> 00:32:21.279
Sean directs him top left reload.

00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:21.779
Good shot.

00:32:21.779 --> 00:32:33.710
When the gang are in the Winchester pub and Sean is firing the zombies, Ed repeats exactly what Sean instructed him to do during Time Splitters 2 from 2002, which actually was a super fun game.

00:32:33.710 --> 00:32:37.880
When Sean is at work, he shows a couple of the televisions as he's flipping through the channels.

00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:40.493
We see Trisha Goddard with a woman guest.

00:32:40.493 --> 00:32:44.933
and a game show at the end of the movie, the same woman in the game show will be seen on the television.

00:32:44.933 --> 00:32:48.913
The woman who is dating a zombie and zombies attached to bungee cords.

00:32:49.273 --> 00:32:56.653
So last, when Pete is ranting at Ed for keeping him awake with his electro music, he drops the line, you want to live like an animal?

00:32:56.653 --> 00:32:58.394
Go live in the shed, you thick fuzz.

00:32:58.394 --> 00:33:00.094
Sort of a build off what we were talking about earlier.

00:33:00.094 --> 00:33:00.473
Yeah.

00:33:00.473 --> 00:33:08.506
When we last see Ed, he's chained up living in Sean's shed and definitely Sean is wearing his tie like a bandana, which is how he's wearing it at the climate.

00:33:09.261 --> 00:33:11.368
That's it, I might pop into the garden for a bit.

00:33:11.692 --> 00:33:13.156
Go on then.

00:33:13.541 --> 00:33:14.743
Two seconds.

00:33:27.405 --> 00:33:28.259
Okay.

00:33:41.965 --> 00:33:49.344
You've got red on you, which is like, I didn't, again, I think this last time I watched it was how many times I hear them say actually.

00:33:49.344 --> 00:33:50.323
It's like three or four times, right?

00:33:50.323 --> 00:33:51.423
Yeah, it's not just once.

00:33:51.423 --> 00:33:52.815
It's you got red on you multiple.

00:33:52.815 --> 00:33:55.676
It's one of the most quotable movies in the history of motion pictures.

00:33:55.676 --> 00:33:58.632
Here are some of our favorite lines from Shana the Dead.

00:33:58.632 --> 00:33:59.397
How do you want to do this?

00:33:59.397 --> 00:34:02.942
Do you want to play certain roles or do you want to just read them off?

00:34:02.942 --> 00:34:03.292
Yes.

00:34:03.292 --> 00:34:07.957
So we'll do this one at one by one and then we'll take the roles as they go.

00:34:07.957 --> 00:34:08.585
Okay.

00:34:08.585 --> 00:34:08.960
All right.

00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:10.708
So you start us off.

00:34:11.105 --> 00:34:13.505
So this is the scene between Sean and David.

00:34:13.565 --> 00:34:15.126
David killed the queen.

00:34:15.126 --> 00:34:15.726
What?

00:34:15.726 --> 00:34:17.126
The jukebox.

00:34:18.047 --> 00:34:18.637
As Mr.

00:34:18.637 --> 00:34:25.030
Sloan always says, there is no I in team, but there is an I in pie and there's an I in meat pie.

00:34:25.030 --> 00:34:26.442
Adagram of meat is T.

00:34:26.442 --> 00:34:27.371
I don't know what he's talking about.

00:34:27.371 --> 00:34:28.773
All right.

00:34:28.773 --> 00:34:31.083
This one, Ed says, we're coming to get you, Barbara.

00:34:31.083 --> 00:34:36.715
And the fun fact is that this is actually a callback to 1968's Night of the Living Dead.

00:34:36.715 --> 00:34:39.077
This is a, someone says that in that film as well.

00:34:39.077 --> 00:34:40.693
Do you want your messages?

00:34:40.693 --> 00:34:41.235
What?

00:34:41.235 --> 00:34:50.181
Well, your mom rang about you going around town tomorrow night and then Liz rang about the two of you eating out tonight and then your mom rang back to see if I wanted to eat her out tonight.

00:34:50.181 --> 00:34:51.101
What?

00:34:53.403 --> 00:34:57.387
he, he sells a bit of weed now and again, you know, you sold Puff.

00:34:57.407 --> 00:34:58.288
Yeah.

00:34:58.288 --> 00:34:59.068
Once.

00:34:59.068 --> 00:34:59.849
At college.

00:34:59.849 --> 00:35:01.130
To you.

00:35:01.871 --> 00:35:06.494
I love in that scene how Pete like is sort of giggling until he goes, at college to you.

00:35:07.956 --> 00:35:10.878
See, you don't need Liz for have a good, to have a good time.

00:35:10.969 --> 00:35:12.030
don't man.

00:35:12.030 --> 00:35:12.972
No, go ahead.

00:35:12.972 --> 00:35:13.411
Look at me.

00:35:13.411 --> 00:35:15.054
Can I just say one more thing?

00:35:15.054 --> 00:35:18.195
I'm not going to say, you know, there's plenty of more fish in the sea.

00:35:18.195 --> 00:35:20.056
I'm not going to say if you love her, let her go.

00:35:20.056 --> 00:35:23.438
And I'm not going to bar you with cliches, but you know what I'm going to say?

00:35:32.637 --> 00:35:36.740
All right, well we're getting near the end of this thing.

00:35:36.740 --> 00:35:39.623
Aaron, again, we could just go back and forth with quotes and all the things.

00:35:39.623 --> 00:35:45.009
I want to kind of just ask you, and we sort touched on this a little bit earlier, but I want to sort of get the final thoughts included here.

00:35:45.009 --> 00:35:48.240
Why do you think you and I continue to go back to this movie?

00:35:48.240 --> 00:35:50.793
Why do you think it continues to surprise us?

00:35:50.793 --> 00:35:56.438
Is there anything particular that maybe we didn't cover here that you want to go over or anything to that like?

00:35:56.438 --> 00:36:04.663
This film is an interesting, like, just kind of look at the film industry itself.

00:36:04.663 --> 00:36:07.625
It's not an expensive movie.

00:36:07.625 --> 00:36:10.297
It's not a multi-million dollar, it's not a billion dollar movie.

00:36:10.297 --> 00:36:13.768
It's not a hundreds of million dollar movie to make.

00:36:13.909 --> 00:36:16.039
But it's a great film.

00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:26.434
this is one that needs to be brought into the conversation when it comes to films, when it comes to like good, I'm even gonna call it a good horror film.

00:36:26.536 --> 00:36:30.786
It's a comedy, horror, rom, romantic film that- Rom-Zom-Com.

00:36:30.786 --> 00:36:31.907
Yeah, Ram Zamkham.

00:36:31.907 --> 00:36:38.972
And it's really one that, you know, a lot of films don't, a lot of your films try and to be two things, but very few films try to be three things.

00:36:38.972 --> 00:36:45.617
And I just think with all of that kind of mixed together, this is a fluke of cinema.

00:36:45.818 --> 00:36:57.324
know, this is one, like you're not gonna find many movies that do this, that can do this, that can reach the audience that it does with everything that it tries to do and successfully does.

00:36:57.324 --> 00:37:07.987
And I find that to be just a statement to Edgar Wright, to Simon Pegg, to the cast itself, and just a lot of the choices that were made in this, because it's a smart film.

00:37:07.987 --> 00:37:16.289
And I say there's quite a few films that are really held up to a high standard and are really held in high praise.

00:37:16.289 --> 00:37:19.099
Movies like Memento.

00:37:19.099 --> 00:37:20.480
Memento's the same way.

00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:22.621
It's one that stands out when I think about Shaun of the Dead.

00:37:22.621 --> 00:37:24.280
It was not an expensive film.

00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:27.340
It did not have a big cast.

00:37:27.340 --> 00:37:28.981
You know, it had a great soundtrack.

00:37:28.981 --> 00:37:36.106
had a great timing, had great dialogue and still racks up there with some of the best films ever.

00:37:36.106 --> 00:37:38.778
So like Shana the Dead just just kills it.

00:37:38.778 --> 00:37:43.242
Pardon the pun, but it does just across the board.

00:37:43.242 --> 00:37:44.164
Yeah, I agree with you.

00:37:44.164 --> 00:37:46.565
And it's sort of go on what you're saying here.

00:37:46.565 --> 00:37:48.476
I mean, this movie costs six million dollars to make.

00:37:48.476 --> 00:37:57.250
And I know in the audio commentary, Edgar and Simon both talk about like how they had to like really pitch this movie.

00:37:57.250 --> 00:38:01.811
to Universal, to I think it was Rogue Pictures as well.

00:38:01.971 --> 00:38:06.393
Big Talk Productions were a couple of the other studios that they had to sort of pitch this thing to.

00:38:06.393 --> 00:38:07.612
And they had no one believing in it.

00:38:07.612 --> 00:38:11.753
This is sort of, horror films are one of those movies that you can sort of throw nothing at.

00:38:11.753 --> 00:38:14.574
And then if you get a big return on them, that's great.

00:38:14.574 --> 00:38:20.936
But this was one of those ones I'm sure that I'm gonna guess, I don't know if it's for a fact, but Universal didn't really believe in.

00:38:21.117 --> 00:38:24.637
But again, to Edgar Wright and to Simon Pegg's credit.

00:38:24.833 --> 00:38:35.983
This movie is just one of the funniest, smartest movies that you can show someone in terms of, again, like a masterclass in how to make incredibly entertaining horror.

00:38:35.983 --> 00:38:38.226
again, comedy is not easy to anybody.

00:38:38.226 --> 00:38:43.990
Like they always say that comedy is one of the hardest genres to make because everyone has a different sort of perspective on what is funny.

00:38:43.990 --> 00:38:52.481
But I think, again, if you show this movie to 10 people, I would dare to say that nine to 10 of them would all find something at least something somewhat funny in this movie, for sure.

00:38:52.481 --> 00:38:57.063
Yeah, I don't I don't trust anybody that doesn't really like this movie cannot this is our litmus test.

00:38:57.063 --> 00:39:00.523
They cannot find something enjoyable about this film.

00:39:00.523 --> 00:39:03.925
There's I I ref I don't I just don't think we'll get along.

00:39:03.925 --> 00:39:18.048
I'm you know, I I I I challenge find somebody when you after you listen to this episode, I challenge you to go find somebody that does not like the show and have them write into oblivion bar pod at gmail dot com.

00:39:18.048 --> 00:39:18.869
All right.

00:39:18.869 --> 00:39:22.400
And fucking tell us why you don't like that fucking movie.

00:39:22.510 --> 00:39:31.061
All right, tell tell me write it to me to Aaron or to Chris and just you know Fucking I gotta know I gotta know Chris.

00:39:31.061 --> 00:39:33.853
Do you honestly think that there's somebody out there doesn't like this movie?

00:39:33.853 --> 00:39:41.764
You know, I would be surprised honestly like again there we always say that like go always go check things out for yourself You know, not everyone's gonna like everything.

00:39:41.764 --> 00:39:53.005
Yeah, but again, Shaun of the Dead is one of those movies I think everyone can enjoy whether you're a horror fan whether you're a romance fan something We didn't talk about a lot is sort of the romance between Liz and Sean in this movie.

00:39:53.005 --> 00:39:59.938
And I think it is one of those ones where all Liz was asking for, which is the fucking bare minimum, was for Sean to show a little initiative.

00:39:59.938 --> 00:40:06.103
And I think he proves it in this movie of like, you know, he did what he had to do to save people that he loved.

00:40:06.103 --> 00:40:09.766
That's probably another relatable thing, why people enjoy this film.

00:40:09.766 --> 00:40:10.126
Yeah.

00:40:10.126 --> 00:40:21.384
You know, and it's because the hero of this film is not some guy who is athletically inclined, who is like a genius, who has superpowers, who's military trained.

00:40:21.485 --> 00:40:28.646
Nah, it's a fucking dude that works at like an electronics store who has got a stand on his shirt and he's just trying to get back with his girlfriend.

00:40:28.646 --> 00:40:30.385
You know, it's so relatable.

00:40:30.385 --> 00:40:31.695
It's so understanding.

00:40:31.695 --> 00:40:32.826
And it's so like, you know what?

00:40:32.826 --> 00:40:34.525
It's like, I'm going to wake up tomorrow.

00:40:34.525 --> 00:40:37.106
And that's, think a lot of us feel like that too.

00:40:37.106 --> 00:40:44.905
I think there's been times in our life where we're like, fuck, I'm going to wake up tomorrow and I'm just going to, I'm going to be the best version of myself that I could ever be.

00:40:44.905 --> 00:40:48.228
And it's like, fuck, like, like, is it too late?

00:40:48.269 --> 00:40:49.690
Like the world's already over.

00:40:49.690 --> 00:40:50.320
What does it matter?

00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:51.010
Like what's the point?

00:40:51.010 --> 00:41:05.094
But no, like he, and I think that's another thing from, this is a good date movie because like anybody in that movie, anybody, any partner that goes sees this film can look and be like, you know what?

00:41:05.094 --> 00:41:12.556
It's, the person who's at my left or right, are they gonna be the person that I need them to be when the time comes?

00:41:12.757 --> 00:41:13.947
That's the litmus test.

00:41:13.947 --> 00:41:16.940
That's the test that we all need to be asking ourselves.

00:41:16.940 --> 00:41:22.782
Like I am so tired of, and I don't know if you've had this discussion, have you ever had an argument?

00:41:22.782 --> 00:41:28.074
I know we're going off on a weird tangent here, Chris, but I got, this is like bringing up some things for me.

00:41:28.074 --> 00:41:38.170
Have you ever been in a relationship, Chris, where the conversation has turned into the expectations of what they, like of who they want you to be versus what They don't want who you are.

00:41:38.170 --> 00:41:39.579
They don't want who you are.

00:41:39.579 --> 00:41:40.639
want you to be.

00:41:40.641 --> 00:41:43.659
And I don't know if you, and here's another question that kind of caveats off that.

00:41:43.659 --> 00:41:47.451
Have you ever been in a relationship with somebody who watches a lot of reality television?

00:41:48.610 --> 00:41:58.114
And whenever they watch reality television, can just tell when it starts to seep in and it starts taking a hold and starts asking these questions.

00:41:59.454 --> 00:42:01.135
Or motivating these questions.

00:42:01.135 --> 00:42:04.416
Like that's the bullshit that I'm tired of.

00:42:04.635 --> 00:42:08.976
And I'm not saying it's happening in my life right now, but it's happened before.

00:42:08.976 --> 00:42:10.597
And it's just like, you know what?

00:42:10.597 --> 00:42:16.572
When the time comes, and the world's fucking ending and the zombies are killing everybody.

00:42:16.612 --> 00:42:22.056
Are you going to be fucking worried about if I fucking tagged you in a post on Instagram?

00:42:22.077 --> 00:42:22.976
Right.

00:42:23.277 --> 00:42:24.739
It doesn't fucking matter.

00:42:24.739 --> 00:42:29.061
And this movie is so built on the relationships of these characters, aren't they?

00:42:29.061 --> 00:42:32.083
mean, think about like the relationship between Sean and Ed.

00:42:32.083 --> 00:42:40.715
One guy who was trying to do his best and the other one who was just like, Sean has sort of accepted his role as mediocrity and in the life of his day to day.

00:42:40.715 --> 00:42:43.188
And then Ed is just sort of, he's like swimming in that pool.

00:42:43.188 --> 00:42:45.610
He loves just not doing shit, right?

00:42:45.610 --> 00:42:53.277
And then you have like, of course, Sean and Liz, like Sean wants to be in a relationship, but he's not willing to put in the effort for it and Liz wants more.

00:42:53.277 --> 00:42:59.041
And then there's Sean with his mom, with Diane, or sorry, excuse me, with Sean and Barbara, excuse me.

00:42:59.041 --> 00:43:00.382
Sean is sort of a mama's boy.

00:43:00.382 --> 00:43:03.925
And like the only thing he can think about when this all is going down is how he's going to save his mom.

00:43:03.925 --> 00:43:09.309
The caveat to that is Sean having to put up with his stepdad, you know, Bill Nye in this movie.

00:43:09.431 --> 00:43:21.588
Bill Nye is one of the best parts of this movie because he's like this unemotional rock solid oak tree of a stepdad who never showed Sean any love until it was too late.

00:43:21.588 --> 00:43:27.692
again, and I go back to the perception of character in this movie.

00:43:27.692 --> 00:43:36.717
Everybody in this movie has a different perception of what they want from somebody else in this, a different perception, a different expectation.

00:43:36.717 --> 00:43:38.005
Like Sean.

00:43:38.005 --> 00:43:42.889
was protective of his mother and could not accept Philip as his father.

00:43:42.889 --> 00:43:48.253
But Philip was doing his best and he was trying and he may not be the best at it, but he was trying.

00:43:48.253 --> 00:43:50.014
It's the same with Liz.

00:43:50.034 --> 00:43:57.778
Liz wanted more from Sean and Sean was honestly trying, but he has like, he just is not the best at being in a relationship.

00:43:57.778 --> 00:44:01.221
I mean, can we say that he was doing his best really?

00:44:01.262 --> 00:44:10.219
I think that in his life, maybe he had, okay, maybe there was more to that than what was like, Again, there's expectations and then there's reality.

00:44:10.219 --> 00:44:14.931
Somebody, you could look at anybody and be like, listen, I just don't see what you're giving me.

00:44:14.931 --> 00:44:16.943
I don't see the effort being put in there.

00:44:16.943 --> 00:44:17.753
And it's like, you know what?

00:44:17.753 --> 00:44:26.918
Like I have a lot going on and your bandwidth may be high and you've got a lot that you can give out to everybody.

00:44:26.918 --> 00:44:31.711
My bandwidth may not be as high as yours, but I'm doing my best.

00:44:31.811 --> 00:44:34.018
But again, it's about expectations.

00:44:34.018 --> 00:44:38.427
Again, Philip was doing his best, he wasn't he to Sean.

00:44:38.427 --> 00:44:43.789
He wasn't giving his best and that is part of the toxic masculinity era of old men.

00:44:43.829 --> 00:44:44.489
Exactly.

00:44:44.489 --> 00:44:46.190
But he truly did love him.

00:44:46.190 --> 00:44:51.353
And it took him until the end to see that same with the relationship between Sean and Liz.

00:44:51.353 --> 00:45:02.286
know, Sean may have been somewhat stuck in mediocrity, but he was trying to be like at certain times, like do what he could because he wasn't being the same as Ed.

00:45:02.286 --> 00:45:04.918
He wasn't sitting on his ass, but he had an Ed in his life.

00:45:04.918 --> 00:45:05.188
Right.

00:45:05.188 --> 00:45:05.719
You know.

00:45:05.719 --> 00:45:06.619
Yeah.

00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:06.938
Yeah.

00:45:06.938 --> 00:45:17.885
I guess Ed and Liz sort of represented two different paths for Sean in a way like he could move on and sort of progress in his life with Liz or he could sort of stay in the muck with Ed.

00:45:18.085 --> 00:45:22.358
So and I know how hard that is sometimes when you have friends in your life or you're like, man, I could do so much more.

00:45:22.358 --> 00:45:25.429
But I really love pouting around with this guy over here.

00:45:25.429 --> 00:45:26.891
You know, ouch.

00:45:27.170 --> 00:45:28.152
Look at you, Aaron.

00:45:28.152 --> 00:45:31.478
Looking at you hurts real deep.

00:45:32.429 --> 00:45:32.809
All right.

00:45:32.809 --> 00:45:34.650
Well, I think that'll do it for a Halloween special 2024.

00:45:34.650 --> 00:45:39.010
Again, if you if you can't tell we love this movie and I think we can talk about it for much longer.

00:45:39.010 --> 00:45:44.429
But I think again, as Aaron said, if you don't love Shaun the Dead already, we can't help you.

00:45:44.429 --> 00:45:52.550
think you you need to seek help elsewhere if you don't love Shaun the Dead for whatever unhelpable unhelpable you've got read on you and it's from us.

00:45:52.550 --> 00:45:57.010
You are the pulp in the orange juice and not many people like you.

00:45:57.190 --> 00:45:59.280
Well, we hope everybody has a great Halloween.

00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:00.679
We're going to release the day of Halloween.

00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:08.068
So if you're listening to this on October 31st, go out there, get yourself some candy, be safe, dress up, do all the things.

00:46:08.068 --> 00:46:09.637
We hope everybody has a great Halloween.

00:46:09.637 --> 00:46:12.077
Again, Aaron and I absolutely love this holiday.

00:46:12.077 --> 00:46:13.748
Like it's our favorite all year.

00:46:13.748 --> 00:46:16.697
And again, this is one of our favorite segments each year here on the Oblivion Bar.

00:46:16.697 --> 00:46:20.557
It gives us a reason to talk about horror, which is not something we often get to do.

00:46:20.557 --> 00:46:23.427
So yeah, it's a fun little segment that we enjoy doing.

00:46:23.427 --> 00:46:26.617
Aaron, is there anything you want to say about the Halloween special before we get out of here?

00:46:26.617 --> 00:46:28.577
Yeah, boy.

00:46:28.677 --> 00:46:29.967
That's all I wanted to do.

00:46:29.967 --> 00:46:33.829
That's us clanking our Cricket and our shovel together.

00:46:33.829 --> 00:46:34.289
Yeah.

00:46:34.289 --> 00:46:34.831
All right.

00:46:34.831 --> 00:46:43.452
No, love love love the Halloween episode Definitely want to get I don't know again like we've kind of talked about in the beginning of the episode I'm really getting into horror.

00:46:43.572 --> 00:46:45.853
I tried watching long legs.

00:46:45.853 --> 00:46:48.105
Mm-hmm fucking slow I got it.

00:46:48.105 --> 00:46:50.614
I got it like put it that one.

00:46:50.614 --> 00:46:57.657
I want to love it But it's like it's like the slowest version of silence of the lambs That I've ever seen so like I'm gonna finish it.

00:46:57.657 --> 00:47:04.027
I'm gonna finish it, but I don't know If it's again, it's one of those movies where everybody's like, it's amazing.

00:47:04.027 --> 00:47:04.597
It's amazing.

00:47:04.597 --> 00:47:05.478
Scary movie here.

00:47:05.478 --> 00:47:07.858
And I'm like, okay, we'll see.

00:47:07.858 --> 00:47:08.398
Sure.

00:47:08.398 --> 00:47:10.358
It's not the best horror film of the year.

00:47:10.358 --> 00:47:13.438
The first Omen is the best horror film of the year, but I think Long Legs is up there.

00:47:13.438 --> 00:47:14.938
It's like number two or three.

00:47:14.938 --> 00:47:15.398
Okay.

00:47:15.398 --> 00:47:17.217
And that's from your opinion.

00:47:17.217 --> 00:47:18.237
That's my opinion.

00:47:18.237 --> 00:47:18.538
Yeah.

00:47:18.538 --> 00:47:19.197
Okay.

00:47:19.197 --> 00:47:20.818
Go watch the first Omen.

00:47:20.818 --> 00:47:21.358
Okay.

00:47:21.358 --> 00:47:22.737
All right.

00:47:22.737 --> 00:47:23.878

Don't forget to tip your bartenders 20 % or more, or I will do the entire thing next time in a terrible Australian accent.

00:48:47.146 --> 00:48:48.269
That is a threat.

00:48:48.269 --> 00:48:49.110
That is not a threat.

00:48:49.110 --> 00:48:50.289
