REwatch: A Resident Evil Podcast

Paul W.S. Anderson sherpas Alice to the end of her journey and brings us along for the ride... or are we being pulled behind a tank? We can never tell. Regardless, join Andrew and Erich as the step through the minefield of set pieces that compose this film. Many of our questions are answered, many more questions are posed, and some things mentioned in this directly contradict events we've seen previously. Either way, it's a hell of a ride!

This movie is the first in the series to have one notable omission and Andrew refuses to let it go. We discuss how this is the most Resident Evil-ass Resident Evil film, talk about the return of some of our favorite characters, give excessive love to the Uber Licker and much more.

Like the zombie dogs in this series we're back and you never know when to expect us! We ponder a lot of really excellent questions on this episode while occasionally discussing the film. For instance: is this someone's favorite movie? If you don't survive the apocalypse, is it because you weren't good looking enough? Or maybe you don't look particularly good while dirty and/or sweaty? Do folks on ships actually "log" during emergency situations?

They yada yada yada'd over the whole downfall of humankind! We talk about where all the $50M dollar budget films have gone, kicking to kill, Hummers in film in the aughts, needle drops, effectively pivoting your business in the apocalypse, and much, much more.

In this episode we dive deep into the social contract of people not biting each other, why STARS members might be the smartest folks in the room (or exiting the room), Erich ponders if his recollection of Oded Fehr being the lucky charm of this franchise is accurate, we accurately define the term "disturbingly heroic", begin counting to see if this movie has more endings than Return of the King, and whether this film is rightly the titular Apocalypse.

Join Erich and Andrew on their inaugural journey into The Hive, a train-accessible stop on the way deep under Raccoon City. Your hosts discuss how The Red Queen has the most consistent motivation throughout the entire film, how you can transfer a flashback via touch, why filming with the zombie dogs was potentially the most difficult shooting situation, and whether or not you can rightly call this a zombie movie franchise.

Here's the fantastic George Romero-directed Biohazard 2 trailer Erich references: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uymff74kDu0

Hello and welcome to REwatch, a mini-series where your hosts revisit the billion-dollar, action-horror film franchise Resident Evil. To date, Resident Evil is the highest-grossing zombie film series, and for a time was the highest grossing horror movie franchise of all time.

So how does a franchise with an average critical rating of 27% make 1.2 billion dollars? That’s what we’re here to find out. Your hosts will step through each film, talk about what they love, what they don’t, gnarliest kills, and even how they tie back to the wildly successful gaming properties these films are based on.
