Defend It Yourself Episode 16 finds Sean joined by Nathan from The Midnight Screening podcast to co-defend Resident Evil (2002).

Discussion Points:

-The impact of having played the video games (or not) on your view of the film.

-The surprising amount of miniature and practical effects that the film employed.

-The CGI cannot be defended, especially the crows and the zombie's face.

-The Resident Evil/Love Actually crossover you didn't know you wanted.

-Sean barely let's poor Nathan get a word in. Sorry Nathan. Please come back and review The Shining (1980).

-The clichés in the film.

-It takes almost 20 minutes to get past the opening scene-stick around for the Dark Knight Rises tangent.

-That STUPID wedding ring brings up Nathan's Resident Evil head cannon.

-If you're going to have a ridiculous idea, get a good actor with a great voice to sell it.

-This film is like a graphic game of Kerplunk.

-The severe lack of infection control procedures.

-Spencer's personality change.

Raised Questions:

-Would your friends dog-pile you on account of your opinion of this film?

-When will Sean learn to let his guests talk?

-Is this film worth a re-watch?

-Do you care about the characters?

-Does Michelle Rodriguez age?

-Why don't the Doctors come in through the broken windows?

-What was the point in those gas masks?

-Why don't the scriptwriters understand how ID badges work?

-Does bad CGI trick your brain into thinking there's more CGI in a film than there actually is?

-Who doesn't want to see Milla Jovovich roundhouse kick a zombie dog in the face?

-How often do you get a film where the villain genuinely doesn't know that he is a villain?

-How the hell does Sean end up doing a Frank Spencer impression?

Thanks for listening!
