Joe, James & Rhys take a deep(ish) dive on both extreme ends of the zombie franchise - George A Romero's originator of the genre, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, and Danny Boyle's post-Brexit zombie sequel, 28 YEARS LATER. All this, plus: Ironheart, The Phoenician Scheme, The Rehearsal, and more!

Our next movie on the Patreon ( http://patreon.com/cinematicuniverse ) will be - of course - James Gunn's SUPERMAN, which we are expecting to record tomorrow, so you should hear it in just a few days. We'll also be doing FANTASTIC FOUR after that, and our next main episode is going to be BATTLE ROYALE. So plenty to look forward to!

If you've seen Night of the Living Dead or 28 Years Later, let us know what you thought in the comments!

Rhys, James and Joe take a look at Ryan Coogler's 2025 movie, SINNERS. As soon as we can agree who's hosing the episode. This is an all-Sinners episode because it was recorded soon after our Ghost Dog chat AND there's a lot in this movie to think about. That said, to be completely honest if you don't like talk about spitting I would probably skip this one.

You can hear this and many other episodes ad-free on our Patreon!

Rhys, James and Joe take a look at Jim Jarmusch's 1999 fusion of crime & samurai genres, Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai.

Rhys, James and Joe are back with our customary look back over the previous year, in which we re-litigate our favourite picks, award our best (and worst) accolades, and ask the serious question: isn't Alien going to clean up all of these?

Rhys, James and Joe are back! Well, technically we never went away but it's all been happening over on the Patreon where we've covered Agatha All Along, The Penguin, Joker: Folie a Deux and Kraven - but we're finally back on the free feed to discuss Ridley Scott's 2000 movie, GLADIATOR. There's also the usual news and what's good sections but if you're only interested in the movie you can find that at 1h 30m.

We'll be back on the free feed soon with our usual end-of-year show, and we'll be back in January for Joe's pick: INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS. Enjoy!

Joe, James and Rhys take a look at Ridley Scott's ALIEN (1979) starring Sigourney Weaver (and a giant nightmare creature from beyond the stars). The hit that spawned a franchise, does it hold up? (Yes, it does).

We also cover the Olympics (really), My Neighbour Totoro, Mars Express, the Spider-Man rereleases, some movies of 1986, Trap, and a bunch of news out of D23. (Apologies for Rhys's audio quality towards the end - he didn't get hit in the mouth and start lisping, his recording quality just glitched out.)

Remember, you can hear our Deadpool & Wolverine episode on Patreon now, as well as a follow up episode to this one where we discuss our thoughts on the rest of the Alien franchise. Subscribe now at http://patreon.com/cinematicuniverse
