Dark Discussions Podcast - Episode 687 - 28 Years Later (2025)


Listen Later

Twenty-eight years after the Rage virus first tore through the UK, director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland return to the franchise that redefined zombie horror. 28 Years Later picks up on a remote island where survivors have carved out a fragile existence, only to be drawn back into the mainland’s quarantine zone—where secrets fester and the infected aren’t the only threat. With a cast led by Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes, the film dives deep into the psychological toll of survival, the ethics of containment, and the terrifying evolution of humanity itself.

Join the crew as we dissect the film’s themes of isolation and resurgence, compare it to its predecessors (28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later), and debate whether this third installment delivers on its legacy—or simply mutates it. We also explore the film’s visual grit, Young Fathers’ haunting score, and the implications of a new trilogy in the making.

So grab your hazmat suit and tune in—because the Rage virus isn’t done with us yet.
