#MonsterCast concludes with our 3rd and final spotlight for 2024: 2004's horror-comedy masterpiece Shaun of the Dead.

Shaun is a 30-something loser with a dull, easy existence. When he's not working at the electronics store, he lives with his slovenly best friend, Ed, in a small flat on the outskirts of London. The only unpredictable element in his life is his girlfriend, Liz, who wishes desperately for Shaun to grow up and be a man. When the town is inexplicably overrun with zombies, Shaun must rise to the occasion and protect both Liz and his mother.

Jeremy and Sara talk about the dual nature of how well this film parodies and shows love for the zombie genre and just what makes Edgar Wright such a special director.

SHAUN OF THE DEAD is available NOW on Peacock.
