It's time to talk about an ICONIC British film in the pantheon - Edgar Wright's Shaun of the Dead. The guys discuss the perfectly symmetrical script in which almost every moment no matter how big or small pays off in a big way later in the film, Bill Nighy's scene-stealing performance, the moments of dramatic tension that work amidst all the goofy comedy and much more. Plus: Brendan reminisces about the DVD special features.

Next week: more yuk 'em ups with the Brits!
