How's that for a slice of fried gold? Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Megan, and Ethan (We're expecting to do a walk-by with Georgia and her new crew) as they head to the Winchester while waiting for all this to blow over as they review the Edgar Wright-Simon Pegg collaboration, Shaun of the Dead as our Patreon pick for Halloween this year. We're looking for cornettos in our 198th episode as we discuss:
- Whether this film works if you dislike the principal characters
- Ian's film school is back as he shares some insights he teaches his students
- Whether the Don't Stop Me Now segment is genius or just stupid
- What was it about early 2000s comedies and making jokes that were so far over the line
- A few of us make petitions that some of the villains of the film might have been right after all
- We also take time to remember Matthew Perry on the day after word spread about his passing
- Whether or not Shaun of the Dead is the Best Film Ever
