• 28 Years Later (2025) with Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana

  Time didn't heal anything, especially not the patriarchy!We had to talk about one of the most anticipated horror releases of the year, 28 Years Later, directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, returning to the world they created with 28 Days Later from 2002.I was joined by film critic, editor at whatascreampodcast.com and co-host of Gore Things Pod Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana to dive deep into this seemingly divisive film.We talk fat representation, female representation, are placentas magical? What our thoughts on the evolved (or devolved) infected. The themes of the film around patriarchy, family dynamics and our old favourite toxic masculinity.There is so much to discuss in this episode, we had a lot to get off our chest!Links to Ygraine's work below;IGGore Things Pod IGFats on Film's socials;⁠IG⁠Hannah's stuff;⁠IG⁠⁠TikTok⁠You can also email the pod at [email protected]
