- Shaun of the Dead & the Music of 2004 (Edgar Wright, 2004)
231 - You voted, we listened - it's SHAUN OF THE DEAD week! You chose wisely, as it's kind of the perfect way to wrap up this miniseries, with its sprawling tentacles pulling in pieces from all over the genre. Being the final episode of our 'A Brief History of Zombies' miniseries, we also spend some time reflecting on the genre, as well as our final advice on how to survive, should the time come.

1 hr 10 min - 28 Days Later (Danny Boyle, 2002)
229 - It's our 4th entry into our 'A Brief History of Zombies' miniseries and it's a major milestone - FAST ZOMBIES! Not to mention, fast infections. Danny Boyle really ups the ante and hits reset for the genre after a slightly goofier decade. It's 28 Days Later!

1 hr 16 min - Resident Evil (2002, Paul WS Anderson)
228 - It's week three of our 'A Brief History of Zombies' miniseries. This week is notable admission to the Zombie cannon, although pretty polarising in appeal. But it's based on a game, a great game! WHAT A GAME! Anyway, Umbrella Corp, Mila Jovovich and a bunch of white dudes that look alike, oh and that one laser that dices that dude up... it's Resident Evil!

1 hr 10 min - Evil Dead 2 (Sam Raimi, 1987)
227 - It's week 2 of our 'A Brief History of Zombies' miniseries. After episode one's Romero double feature, we now get to explore one of the more extreme spins on the re-animated corpse-genre - it's EVIL DEAD (2). The sorta sequel, sorta remake of Evil Dead, and predecessor to Army of Darkness (don't worry we touch on all three). What does this gory little number contribute to the zombie canon? What can this film teach us about survival amongst the undead? and the big question... Does it hold up, or is it best left in the past? Tune in and find out!

So join us as we unpack this weeks movie: Masters of The Universe.

1 hr 42 min - Kill Bill Vol 1 & Vol 2 (Quentin Tarantino, 2003)
223 - It’s Fan’s Choice week! Out of 8 martial arts classics, you voted, we listened and we are tackling BOTH volumes of Kill Bill. A fitting penultimate episode for our Martial Arts miniseries, with its many intertextual references to the genre… but also other genres I guess. Also, not for nothing, but we may have our sharpest recasties of all time in this ep, so make sure you stick around to the end.

About Double Impact
From the publisher's feed
Tristan + Greg are a couple of 90s kids from down under, on a mission to re-watch every movie that meant something from their childhood. Each episode they review a 'classic' film from the 80s or 90s, and determine how it stacks up in the modern era.
...They use the term 'classic' loosely.
