28 Days Later (2002): "Novembleak"

You know we ~love~ a theme month here at Spooky Tuesday, but TBH we sort of stumbled on Novembleak on accident. Horror movies aren’t exactly cheery as a genre, but our lineup this month has been particularly… well, bleak, and 28 Days Later (2002) is no different. With some scenes that look a little *too* familiar now that we’ve experienced a pandemic of our own, this not-actually-a-zombie flick features Cillian Murphy (and his dick) at what may or may not be the end of the world. Thankfully, he’s not actually alone — but not all company is good company. On our newest episode, we’re talking about pop culture connections, product placements, and all the alternate endings.
