You can never go home again. But you can revisit, try to relive your “glory days,” and uncover an alien conspiracy to replace humanity with goo-filled robots. That’s right, we’re truly peaking with this week’s Horror-CoMAYdy entry, Edgar Wright’s final film in the Cornetto trilogy, THE WORLD’S END!! So does this week’s school chum reunion fair better than last week’s? YES!!! A thousand times yes. Along the way, we talk about Gary King’s main character syndrome, how friendships evolve or die, the bravery of Wright and Pegg’s story arcs, and the film’s uncomfortably accurate portrayal of the rise of A.I.!! All this, plus the artist envy economy, toxic nostalgia, and the surprising emotional heart of this hilarious horror/sci-fi/comedy mash-up!! So pour yourself a pint, order some chips, and join us for the pub crawl to end all pub crawls. And everything else.
