Run For Your Lives Podcast Episode 168: World War Z

[00:00:00] Hey everyone, welcome to the show I'm Daphne. And I'm Pate. And this is the Run For Your Lives Podcast. This episode we're talking about the action horror film War...uh oh. See, I thought you said War of the Worlds?

[00:00:49] Now here it says World War Z, so I guess no episode this week. You know what? No, we're going to make it work. You're going to talk about all your notes for World War Z, I'm going to talk all my

[00:00:59] notes for War of the Worlds and we'll just see if they mesh together and we'll see what happens. Well you know what? We've never done that before, so we can try it and see where it goes.

[00:01:10] It could be like one of those mashups you see on YouTube that's really cool and awesome, or it could be a shit show. I guess it's up to us on how it goes. Right, let's attempt that.

[00:01:25] Or I can go back in time really quick with this magical button that I found and have watched and taken notes on the right movie and then we can do this again. Okay, I think that's the best option. Alright, let's try that one.

[00:01:41] Alright so this episode we are talking about the action horror film World War Z directed by Mark Forster and released June 21st 2013. Yes, 11 years ago. I can't believe it's been 11 years since this movie came out.

[00:01:55] I will say this, if it was me who had watched War of the Worlds instead of World War Z, Who would do that? I wouldn't need to go back and watch it again because I've seen World War Z so

[00:02:08] many times that I really didn't need to watch it this time but I did so it was fresh. I've seen it so many times that yeah there's no point. I don't think I have seen this one since I saw it in theaters when it came out in 2013.

[00:02:26] I think I saw it because I remember going and seeing it with some friends in theaters. I don't think I've ever watched it at home since then like this might be my first rewatch of it in 11 years. Oh my gosh, I remembered most everything about it.

[00:02:39] It sticks with me for a lot of reasons. I think it's really one that is like the higher echelon of movie moments for me but for a very fake reason. But we'll get to that when I get to it.

[00:02:54] I'm wondering what it is and thinking that I might know and if it's what I think it is, oh my goodness, of course it's you would love that. Of course you would. It's a totally fake thing.

[00:03:10] We'll get to it at a point and then you'll see if you're right. You probably are. You know me well enough at this point. I do. I do. I think it's interesting because this movie, if you look at the book that it's

[00:03:23] based on, it really isn't anything like the book at all. No. It's because I even remember because I had read the book which I got to read when I first read World War Z.

[00:03:35] I was on a screened in porch on a cabin on an island with no electricity, no power for like a whole week and it was just off the grid out in nature. I just got to sit out there and read. I don't know.

[00:03:52] It added to it for sure. It really did. Did you feel cut off from the world? I did so it helped a little bit where you're just like, oh yeah, I am in this weird world. There were no zombies. There are bears out there.

[00:04:04] I didn't see any luckily but yeah, no zombies to deal with but it was. It's very much like kind of living in that world reading the book while I was like off the grid disconnected from technology and whatever was going on in the world for a little while.

[00:04:18] It was kind of cool. I can't imagine you being cut off from technology. I know that I wouldn't do very well if I was cut off from technology. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:04:29] It was a lot of fun and then the movie came out after and I was like how are they going to make a movie out of that because it's the book, the Max Brooks World War C is very just like pieces of journalism and stories. Interviews.

[00:04:51] Interviews and first hand all thrown together. It's almost kind of like which I guess in a way is like what Jerry Lane, the character that Brad Pitt plays here. He would have been the guy that was going around collecting these stories or at least

[00:05:07] he would have been the kind of it would have been a it would have been a him type. Maybe him not specifically because he's not leaving his family ever again after the end of this movie.

[00:05:15] I don't think but um but like this like you in investigator journalist like that's kind of what it would be so at least they kind of pulled from that and then just took it in a very different direction.

[00:05:26] But there's little hints and little glimmers of like things that are mentioned in those interviews in the books that they kind of threw in or hinted at but yeah the book doesn't make a linear like movie so they just kind of took it as inspiration and then made

[00:05:40] a zombie movie and slapped the name World War C on it but there's some inspiration. I really would love for them to make a TV series from the content of the book. Yeah. Every episode is just a different story. Yeah.

[00:05:57] I think that would be a lot of fun. I think it would be different than what we've seen as far as the undead are the dead on TV. I think it would present this book the way that most of the fans of the book would be happy with.

[00:06:14] Originally they tried like the original script they were trying to present a story where a person went around collecting these stories. It just didn't have enough punch I guess. Yeah. I just wish they'd called this something else because it was I thought it was a great

[00:06:39] movie there were a lot of things to like about it however you can't reconcile the title in the movie because the book and the movie don't exist in the same world. It's just there's no continuity it doesn't work. You can't look at it as the same thing. No.

[00:07:05] Now of course with a name like Brad Pitt attached to it and like the popularity it got I'm sure there is a large percentage of the audience of this movie that had no idea it even had a book counterpart or anything.

[00:07:17] And so at least with that the name makes sense to the greats like they mentioned plenty of times throughout the movie that it is a global thing the whole world is dealing with this and then the very ending of the movie obviously is kind

[00:07:28] of just the whole movie is kind of a prequel for the book in a way because then it sets up like well now we're in a place where like we know what we're dealing with we know what the threat is but there's a lot that we still have

[00:07:40] to do to like clean up where most of the world's population has turned into zombies at this point cities are gone and overrun so there's still a war that needs to happen so I mean it sets it up. You have to clean things up. Yeah.

[00:07:53] You're going to be doing a lot of cleaning a lot of things. It's interesting because recently I read another book called Fantastic Land it's by Mike Bakovan. It's done in a similar style these survivors took refuge from a hurricane in an amusement park.

[00:08:14] Some of them were people that worked there and others were like guests but it was mostly people that worked there and it's talking to them about the aftermath because as you can imagine it devolved very quickly and it became a mess.

[00:08:31] It's a really good book and it's done in a similar way and I like it and I would like to see them try to do a movie but I'm just not sure they can do it the right way.

[00:08:44] Yeah it's a format that doesn't really lend itself to you. It doesn't. Too well. It doesn't and sometimes what lives in your head from reading the book is better than if they made it a movie because you create pictures of what you think it should be.

[00:09:01] Yeah well I do that while reading any book even a book that I've seen the movie first like right now because I'm almost done. I have like seven chapters left because I take it slowly but I'm almost done on my run through the shining

[00:09:13] and even though I've seen the shining and I know everything about it I know the people behind it I can't help but like cast different people in my head and it's funny because a lot of times

[00:09:24] I will cast actual actors and people that I know like in my own little head canon of while reading the book so this is maybe I'm the only person that does that if anybody else does that

[00:09:34] welcome weird people that do things because I'm weird about stuff like that but like and it comes it's not like I think I should know it's like I read the lines and a voice pops in my head and I'm like okay that's who's cast in

[00:09:46] this role like it just happens and sometimes it feels weird but uh so my shining head cast that just appeared Matthew McConaughey is Jack and Dick Haller and is played by Coleman Domingo and I like it so you know okay I could see

[00:10:03] Coleman Domingo yeah as a dick Haller and I could I don't know about Matthew McConaughey as Jack he's a little older for Jack so it's kind of like it does me a thing with time because it's like a younger

[00:10:15] McConaughey yeah with like current Coleman Domingo and only in my brain with book casting does that make sense and it can work but it does and I do I love that someday we should do an episode on a book that we love that doesn't have a movie

[00:10:30] and who would who we'd cast in the role. Fan cast stuff yeah that could be fun. Well we'll get started with a few of the production notes like usual was filmed in Wales, Scotland, England and Malta

[00:10:48] was inspired by the novel of the same name we just talked about by Max Brooks he wrote the book and it came out in 2006 Paramount and Brad Pitt's company Plan B won what turned out to be a six figure bidding war for the rights to World War Z

[00:11:06] and they happened to be up against Warner Brothers and Leonardo DiCaprio's company Appian Way. The budget was between 190 and 269 million depending on what source you looked at it grossed 540.5 million worldwide it's 116 minutes Paik bring us a synopsis I hope that you

[00:11:31] watched the uncut version the unrated uncut version because that's what I watched. Maybe whatever was on plaques. All right former United Nations employee Jerry Lane traverses the world in a race against time to stop a zombie pandemic that is toppling armies

[00:11:48] and governments and threatens to destroy humanity itself. Okay that's a good one. Your brain works really fast Paik. Uh-huh yeah I totally just came up with that all on my own and it had nothing to do with a certain database of movies on the internet.

[00:12:02] I know but I'm wondering why you don't use chat GBT because they do come up with some clever things on there. AI can be your friend sometimes or not. You know what I might start doing that just to see like quit chat GBT and

[00:12:17] then I'll just pass it off as my own no I will give credit to the robot overlords that they deserve but yeah no but maybe see just like find some more like clever ones that yeah I don't know I'll play with it

[00:12:31] but for now we're just sticking with a good ol IMDB because it's rarely done me wrong there have been a few times and I'm like that's just terrible but uh but rarely had done me wrong. But you then you can at least use it as a starting point

[00:12:45] and then rewrite it to meet your needs. Yeah so we'll see that maybe. Watching this movie got me to thinking if this were to happen where would I go and the thing is I've known where I would go but I have a funny little story about it

[00:13:04] because my sister has a lake house and I think I've mentioned it before and we were out there for a holiday and we were talking about the walking dead and zombies and stuff and my sister said well if any of that happens I'm coming to your house

[00:13:21] and I'm like no we're all coming here because you're on a lake house it's on a dead end road that nobody goes on unless they live here I feel like you've got the perfect place so no we'll all come to your house

[00:13:39] if something happens. Paik what about you? Ah I have no idea I mean I would want to get out of where I live because an apartment complex is a terrible place as we have seen yes even in this movie um we don't want to do that

[00:13:57] I mean my dad's house is only like five minutes down the road but it's more secluded I mean not super I mean there is like a like middle school like in the little bit behind his house so it's not like

[00:14:11] super secluded. Are you thinking a cooties type adventure? Oh god we don't want that no um but or little monsters. Depends on what time of the year like if it's like during the school year then no nowhere near that but

[00:14:23] like what if it's during the summer and there's nobody at the school the school could be a good place to hold up. Yes it could. Yeah it totally could. Yeah it was just a question that popped in my head and I

[00:14:34] thought I'm gonna ask you what you think but that's you know that's what I've been saying is that we go hold up at my sister's lake house. Mm-hmm. Seems like a good place. I guess we should get started though talking about this movie

[00:14:52] I'm excited to talk about it it's kind of strange that we haven't recorded an episode on this before now I feel like we should have and yet we didn't so it's totally time. Definitely. Yeah uh so we'll do what we

[00:15:09] usually do as far as kind of character stuff but with this movie it really is it follows Brad Pitt's Jerry Lane and that and you know he kind of goes place to place and meets a

[00:15:22] different cast of characters in every place that he goes and you get a little bit of story here a little bit of story there so he really is the driving force in the like center character that everything goes around so he's really the only one that I

[00:15:34] have specific notes on but then I have a lot of other side notes about other little characters like two or three notes about this person here that person here or the zombies or certain situations so

[00:15:46] it'll be different so I'm like we go by character but it's like no we're gonna go by Jerry and then I'll throw in other notes as we go along the way and then I'll have a bunch of crap to get to at the end of that too

[00:15:55] probably. Yeah there's a lot in this movie to digest. There were some cool things though there were things I really love about it and it's one of those movies that I'll put on in the background because I know

[00:16:08] that I can keep up with what's going on but not have to focus too hard because I know it so well and when you've seen it as many times as I have it's really easy to just know what's happening

[00:16:23] depending on where they are. Yeah so I was like oh Brad Pitt starting in a zombie movie how's that gonna go and then it's like our family life family life and then bam an immediate high intensity action sequence featuring all

[00:16:36] kinds of car stunts I was like yep no that makes sense we're of course it does right? Yes this is what a Brad Pitt zombie movie was like got it yeah and if you ever needed to know you now are able

[00:16:51] to keep up with it because yeah I was really pleased with how the movie turned out even though it didn't match the book because I just thought it was a good zombie movie. Yeah it's honestly a really good movie uh it's I have this note way later but

[00:17:10] that's fine um just thinking about it's like it's a movie that kind of tries to make itself like or make the zombie genre a little bit more mainstream where it's like a little more scientific and more on the drama versus the zombies

[00:17:24] although there are some like big action sequences with the zombies but it's it's not trying to be Dawn of the Dead or Zombieland or even The Walking Dead it's trying to be a like action movie that's also like more serious movie with high

[00:17:41] you know A-list actors that also is a zombie movie and they want to do something a little different but even though it is that I noticed that they make a lot of nods and references to kitschy zombie roots

[00:17:53] like things that are like definitely there I mean like a lot of like you're like typical like oh yeah and then this would happen and then this would happen and you gotta have a zombie movie where this happens

[00:18:02] uh you mean like of course there's a zombie in the plane in the bathroom on the plane yeah yeah like things like that was like okay everything's calm down and then one thing's gonna set a chain reaction off

[00:18:15] or somebody gets bitten he has the idea to chop her arm off and then it's like let's see if that helps and it does but like that's like those little things are in like everything that it'll always get knotted to but even like the

[00:18:26] small things like when they're going into B-wing at the World Health Organization building and it's like arming themselves with an axe a baseball bat and a crowbar it's like how much how much more like stereotypical zombie movie can you get you know exactly like they were those callbacks

[00:18:43] but I feel like if you weren't a zombie fan and you're just a fan of Brad Pitt and you've got pulled into this movie it's still a really fun watch because it's because the action is good like the way that they put it

[00:18:56] together um I don't want to say too much but there were things in here that I love and when I see it outside of my house like if I'm at the bar doing trivia and I see something on the screen different scenes from this movie

[00:19:12] take me right back in and I know exactly where they are and what they're doing because they're good and fun and well done yeah yeah so everything I mean as zombie movies tend to do everything just goes haywire so chaos chaos chaos everything happens

[00:19:32] very quickly uh the zombies don't take very long to turn you know 12 seconds and trains in the station thank you subway sam for helping us understand that yeah that was a really cool way of doing that by the way the toy counting like that I was like

[00:19:48] I really like that the way that that was edited in shot that's that's clever it's supposed to be a child's toy to comfort the child like to you know it's one of those comforts that a kid has only this time it was used in a way to determine

[00:20:06] well if Brad Pitt should jump off a building mm-hmm right to me this movie there was a lot of chaos that spread very quickly like you were talking about well they're in the middle of the city driving to what looks like they're gonna have a family fun day

[00:20:26] and the next thing you know a cop drives by and rips their side mirror off doesn't bother to stop just keeps going and traffic is stopped and people are just hanging out nobody really knows what's going on and then it goes off the rails at that point

[00:20:50] yeah like I said this is very quick everything happens so fast and then but not even the zombies like I noticed you know they get they get out of there they managed to somehow

[00:21:01] he drives action sequence get out of the city get more out of the country they get to jersey which you know zombies are jersey which is worse no um I've been to new jersey it's fine I enjoy jersey okay

[00:21:23] no but like you see like they get there and they're at this like grocery store and stuff there and it's like it took hours at absolute most for people to resort to their worst possible

[00:21:34] selves in that store like we've seen movies like this before where things devolve I know like people coming in with guns and looting and people trying to assault Karen and it's like all

[00:21:45] this and it's like it literally has been like I said hours at most yeah and I was like that I'd say that's way too soon but I don't know I live in the south so I kind of believe it um

[00:21:58] at least the younger guy that was in the pharmacy seemed to be a good guy maybe I don't know who he was did he shoot the person that was dead on the side I know it's kind of confusing it's like what

[00:22:08] did he come in and was killing people or was like that in self-defense was he the pharmacist who was trying to like leave and then killed somebody in self-defense and then he was able

[00:22:18] to help Jerry like I'm it's not very clear but at least maybe he said he had a kid of his own and just seeing Jerry with his daughter kind of his heart lightened up and he was like here

[00:22:29] let me make sure to take care of you yeah yeah these are things that my daughter you know this always helps my kids and I wondered if he was someone that worked at the store and was just trying to

[00:22:40] guard things I'm thinking I don't know buddy you've got multiple threats coming you've got the people in the store now with guns and then you also have the zombies out running the streets so

[00:22:55] I don't know how you think this is going to turn out no and then we yeah we go from insanely dangerous deadly grocery store to let's hide out an insanely dangerous deadly apartment building like we're gonna go from one to the next um yeah that's what got me

[00:23:15] thinking about where would I go because I just think an apartment building yeah it's not not great and even they try to like lock themselves in to go up the stairs it's like don't even think about all the like people in all the like apartments that are already

[00:23:30] in there but that hose did not hold at all um so it really wasn't too great but yeah they they head in this apartment building for temporary safety until the UN people with a

[00:23:44] Terry? Dairy? Dairy? Dairy yeah Terry whatever he can get to them. THIE are our law yeah Terry yeah but when uh the UN can send men to go pick them up in that helicopter so they're gonna have to

[00:24:02] spend this night here in the apartment building which would have been just awful if it wasn't for uh this unnamed Hispanic family with a Tomas the the son who can translate for them which

[00:24:14] man Tomas Tommy great kid great oh my gosh did he became the luckiest kid like really the situation went to hell in a handbasket for him um I mean you have little Corinne standing outside their

[00:24:33] door saying let me in let me in let me in and they finally open the door and let you know by the time Karen and Jerry get there the doors open they let them in and feed them and they're taking care

[00:24:51] of them I mean it's very nice what they're doing you know they're that's not what you find often in movies like this people are just it seems like so quickly we have more people like the ones looting

[00:25:07] the store than you know the decent people it's just not showcased as much in movies it's always we see the the people that are crazed and running around like chickens with their heads cut off and

[00:25:22] and just not sure what what the you're just going wild yeah and so yeah this family unnamed because I did try to find their name yeah yeah it's just Tomas and then Tomas' father and Tomas'

[00:25:38] mother that's where he's credited so okay we really only care about Tomas I get it and Jerry tries to get them to go with him like he's like you can't stay in the same movement is life like you need to go and even Tomas' mother tries to get

[00:26:01] her husband to to go and he just is like well go where you know where are we gonna go well off the side of a building yeah to the head yeah that's that's what you're into

[00:26:21] but um yeah didn't work out too well for them except Tomas again has his super badass moment where he's the one who's able to come in and save Jerry and really save himself by doing that but

[00:26:33] comes in with the gun where did he get the gun I don't know do you think his father said here take this and go could have I can't imagine that that's what he did but we only get that little glimpse of

[00:26:48] like banging on the door yeah on the apartments you yeah and so you know that they're not going to be safe there yeah the next time we see the parents the father is one of the first Zeds coming

[00:27:04] through the door yep and then the mother is the one that's kicked off the helicopter yeah at the end so you know Tommy makes it and has new parents evidently you know because congratulations Jerry

[00:27:21] you have a son just automatically like you're stuck with him good there you go um yeah which I mean hey it's a great kid goodness it's a good just random adoption out of nowhere I'm like you know cool

[00:27:35] but he's a good kid he is he's great take him he's fine there's a lot worse ones that you could get stuck with so you know I'll take Rachel was upset and crying and he went and comforted her

[00:27:47] like she wasn't sleeping where she was supposed to be and Jerry was looking for her and he finally found her and Tommy was with her you know just I think being a comfort yeah and so you could tell this

[00:28:00] is a good kid yeah um yeah you mentioned the 12 seconds because Jerry was ready to just jump off the roof if the virus spread by mouth uh yeah luckily this isn't 28 days so we'll be fine yes thankfully which oh my gosh 28 days later can we just say

[00:28:21] Killian Murphy star of that film Oscar winner yeah best actor uh yeah because I remember when we covered 28 days we were talking about Oppenheimer but this was before nominations and stuff but

[00:28:34] I think we have been talking then it's like that was likely to get Oscar nominations and wins and stuff and we're recording this after the Oscars and yeah Oppenheimer won best picture

[00:28:43] and and Killian Murphy took best actor so yeah yeah that's so cool sorry for that little side it's cool when you see someone who gets you know there some of their start came from horror

[00:28:58] and then they end up getting an Oscar because you know you don't always expect that to happen so I thought it was super cool yeah I mean talking about Coleman Domingo earlier uh he was also nominated

[00:29:10] in that same category for best actor so good for him I know uh anyway yeah terrible show called Feet of the Walking Dead right man okay so stop that back to this let's go back to World War Z

[00:29:25] yeah so the helicopter they get there they head to this aircraft carrier the UN's got them uh because again we talked about a little bit I mentioned that Jerry was this like top UN

[00:29:34] investigator he was on the ground in a lot of war zones and different spots so he's kind of equipped for this in a way as much as someone can be nobody's really fully equipped for this but no you know

[00:29:47] but his background gives him at least some kind of advantage uh and then he's practically forced by the UN to help Dr. Fosbach and this team find any answers on whatever they can find

[00:30:02] basically it's just like we're gonna send you out there and you got to come back with some kind of answers uh he doesn't want to do it he's like I left this job to be with my family but the UN's

[00:30:11] able to use his family as leverage basically saying like if you don't help then you and your family are non-essential personnel and your spots on the ship will be given to somebody else which is kind of shitty but also under these circumstances fair fair it is incredibly

[00:30:28] fair I mean earlier when Terry calls him and says I need you if you come if we pick you up I need you to be back and he's like no but then he changes his tune because he he wants to save his family not

[00:30:45] realizing that this is the direction they'll go and just in his conversation with Karen you get that his time at the UN took a lot out of him there's a reason why he had retired or left

[00:30:59] that job we don't really ever find out why I will say this I think he's incredibly good at his job yeah so definitely he's good at getting things done and putting things together I thought it was interesting the doctor who is a very young doctor

[00:31:24] said mother nature mother nature is a serial killer I I love that speech honestly I thought it was great yeah he's he's a really cool character and I hope he sticks around for a really long

[00:31:36] time and has lots to do in this movie yes until he slips getting he was walking off the plane heard the zombies and tried to run back on the plane slipped and shot himself in the head

[00:31:54] and this is the moment that I was talking about exactly I knew it was it's terrible but also hilarious it's my favorite swerve and like complete surprise moment of any movie I think yeah this

[00:32:10] Dr. Fastback which played by alias gable also mostly known as oh the dude from scorpion yes um why is that on my brain today as a reminder oh wait I know why Ben just added it to

[00:32:27] yeah um but yeah uh so this guy is very possibly like the key to answering and stopping this whole thing so he trips and shoots himself in the head before he even makes it do his destination uh

[00:32:42] it's it's just dark humor like I don't know if they even meant it to be but it it cracked me up uh and again I remember vividly seeing this movie in theaters even

[00:32:53] with it being 11 years ago I will always remember just this collective like gasp and shock from the audience oh it's like of course they just did that like because it just reminds you that with all

[00:33:07] the seriousness going on that something as simple as slipping can take a variable out of the equation and in the most ridiculous way it's like this whole thing is like the whole reason Jerry's there

[00:33:22] and all these soldiers are there this is the guy we have to protect he's the key and bam oh well exactly uh back to square one I guess what do we do yeah it's kind of a mess Jerry has

[00:33:37] to try to figure out where to pivot to because there's no doctor with him but he does learn quite a bit and we get to see David Morse in one of the most bizarre roles I've ever seen him in

[00:33:49] which is of the gun seller that or the xcia guy that was basically arrested and put there for selling guns and he's telling all the stories that you know of the different things and he also learns

[00:34:10] even before that he learns from captain speak and his team that well we don't really know where it started but this is kind of what happened here he also gets that first glimpse into what could be an idea of how to stop

[00:34:34] yeah people getting attacked he gets that very first glimpse and I thought it was cool how they shot it with that light coming down on Ellis was his name yeah which did you did you recognize him

[00:34:49] yeah that is uh mckill houseman uh yes which uh yeah I I've got that I've got a lot of just like cast notes in here uh yeah mckill houseman um Ellis there because yeah he was in Game of Thrones

[00:35:06] he was the original no he was the second daryon aharis he was the best he was the one that replaced ed skein yes which is funny because then uh the netflix uh the rebel moon that movie that came out

[00:35:19] late last year whatever uh stars both of them aside each other like as like against each other but they're on like opposite sides ed skein is the villain in that movie but it's funny it's like

[00:35:29] oh daryon aharis versus daryon aharis got it like it's kind of like uh ed skein plays such a great villain anyway like he should always be a villain I think that's why he often plays the villain in

[00:35:42] films yeah but I've seen housemen and others because he was also in uh the how I had a homing of hillhouse as well right yes yeah and he was in orphan black as well mm-hmm that's where I knew him

[00:35:54] from yeah he's great uh but yeah there's something odd like he's got at first it's like an entry but no like there's like some kind of like disease or sickness that he has that has like messed with his

[00:36:05] like muscles and like or his leg you know there's like some kind of issue there and yeah so you see that and then you remember the homeless guy that's outside the apartment building when they go in

[00:36:16] and all the zombies just bypass him yep and then there's after that when they get to Jerusalem and it's jerry noticing the swarm just bypassing there's this older man when they first jump the

[00:36:28] wall and then the boy later on and it's just like he's putting all those pieces together and he's like that weakness that fastback was was talking about is like there might be something there and I'm putting these pieces together things that you don't think about

[00:36:44] you know what you think is the most brutal part of the virus is the chink in its armor and then when he learns later from jergen who is the massage agent in Jerusalem he's you know he said all you can do is find a way to hide

[00:37:04] and it all starts to come together for him and his head like oh camouflage yeah I was gonna go John Cena on this thing you can't see me you can't see me yeah yeah uh so yeah going into uh

[00:37:21] Jerusalem which okay it's very rick grimes of him to show up in a place that seems to have everything together just to watch it all go to hell uh why does that always happen like it just

[00:37:32] seems I mean for you know what though jerry has that going on everywhere because look at South Korea because let's be honest Karen called him at the most ridiculous time I know it's funny when

[00:37:44] she like when he calls her back later and she's like I tried calling you almost be like yeah no you got a bunch of people killed good job um yes yes yes you did including captain speak who

[00:37:55] seemed like a good guy he seemed he seemed she yes uh he speak is very much to me your classic douchey soldier bro oh okay who is also extremely good at his job as a soldier and a leader yeah and

[00:38:15] yeah and then when he gets bit he just takes himself out like yeah no qualms about it really he's like well that's what we gotta do for for the team for the right my men all right I got it

[00:38:27] though I mean they were ready they're like we can see you well got eyes on you cap and he's just like no not going to be a Zeke and he shoots himself in the head and that's it

[00:38:37] yeah and then we see some sort of explosion happened there not long after mm-hmm so I don't really know what happened they don't really say mm-hmm yeah things are going hell everywhere uh they are it's madness but yeah so he's he's there in Jerusalem and yeah all

[00:39:02] the zombies all just spill over the wall absolute mayhem chaos it's like well gotta get out of there he meets up with uh this soldier there part of the Israeli army Sagan uh Sagan and then she's like

[00:39:17] the kind of the trope of like the classic will chop off the limb of someone who's been bitten to save him and it works but I like that he's like the other soldiers around like ready to shoot

[00:39:25] her if she starts freaking out and he's like counting to 12 and then he's like she's good let's go she's good let's go and she just keeps going I mean how tough is she to deal with that

[00:39:36] she's like oh my god she must have been thinking oh my god he cut my arm off and I'm gonna bleed to death but I'm not gonna turn into a Zed um okay I'm gonna go with him on this journey

[00:39:50] wherever we're going yeah why did he bring her on the plane I have no idea that's one of the big questions that I'm like well okay so so Jurgen told him told her and the others to get

[00:40:04] him to his plane yeah but then he leaves all the other soldiers behind out there on the runway and takes the one who's injured and missing an arm and still might turn because we don't actually

[00:40:16] know how this works it seems weird to me but I liked her character so I was happy he did um but I will say this about Seagan she got the memo of shooting them in the head because I feel like

[00:40:31] people they were not very good shots with those guns they were just basically aimlessly shooting most of the time some of them and she got the memo you shoot them in the head yeah her team of

[00:40:43] people were good captain speak having a line about that though where he says don't bother about the head if you yeah don't have the time to aim for the head it's better to just like he's like

[00:40:54] legs out legs and these cat oops work just as good as long as they're on the ground yeah that seems like a smart move but yeah so they're on the plane and of course as you mentioned yeah we're gonna get

[00:41:06] the close quarters airplane zombie spread uh of course it's gonna boost on on the airplane right it's like stacking up the it was like that was a good idea until that guy ruined it

[00:41:19] but honestly if you think about it it's like how long would that idea really have you know what that idea worked in society of the snow blocking up the cold from coming in it's not gonna work

[00:41:32] as well against a horde of zombies in no and we've already seen them climb up over the wall those zombies want first class and they're gonna get it yep those zombies might want first class

[00:41:46] but they don't want to pay first class prices no yeah so they decide watching just to make him happen and people getting taken out that jerry just makes the call that the plane is a lost cause

[00:42:00] blows a hole in the side and buckles him and sagan in still not sure why he brought her but yeah you know we'll do that then the crash landing is not very smooth very heavy on the crash part of

[00:42:12] the equation uh and yeah that's kind of he's presumed dead everybody's presumed dead somehow sagan is fine like seems practically unharmed so i guess it's a good thing that well i think

[00:42:29] brought her along because she's able to get him safely to i think that uh sagan had already had enough trauma in this movie yeah with the with the arms so they gave her a pass on this one

[00:42:46] i did think it was funny when they were trying to get on the plane i mean it was basically the police that were able to get the plane to stop to let them on and i just thought he

[00:42:57] well jerry's got one of those express passes like you would get in the amazing race or something to be able to get on there and go to the next destination only no one knows what the

[00:43:07] destination is because the pilots don't even know at that point where they're going they're going somewhere they know they can't stay away from there away from there we're we're we going elsewhere not here which again speaking of uh casting stuff let me find it uh the bellarus

[00:43:30] airways pilot did you recognize who that was um i recognize that he hands the the the sat phone to and um without googling it while you're on here i'm not googling it hey

[00:43:46] i am d being it i'm not i did but i don't know who it was who was that is a nicola jericho who uh is mostly known or really only known by me as playing another pilot in a favorite show

[00:44:00] of mine he played yuri in stranger things the russian pilot who gets uh i don't want to spoil things for the stranger things people too much but uh there's a whole big long story line with

[00:44:13] needing a pilot in russia and that is yuri and that's who that was oh my gosh okay all right and i should have known more he looked familiar yeah like as a second he popped up i was

[00:44:30] like i know who that is like i didn't i should have recognized him i did have to go at imdb to figure it out i was like he looks familiar and then i was like oh it's gary of course of course it is

[00:44:44] that wasn't the last person that popped up that oh no there's a there's a number of them uh for sure let's see i've got a few like while we're on there i mean let's see i'll just go ahead and

[00:44:54] like a little casting things i said well nice to see you jack shepherd i mean matthew fox uh can i tell you that he was supposed to have a much bigger role i figure he was because this is like

[00:45:04] post lost so yes it was weird for him to be such a side character after lost so i i believe that okay so he has this small role there were more things that were shot but and in there was an

[00:45:21] original there was the in the original storyline that they decided to scrap jerry ends up in russia and his cell phone's taken away and karen is put in a refugee camp with the kids

[00:45:40] and when jerry finally contacts karen after this you know a period long period of time has gone by she has reluctantly started an affair with matthew fox's character and then there's a whole thing that goes on with that too and yeah yeah i'm yeah i'm okay with

[00:46:03] all i'm okay with it because i don't want any of that no no in fact that it means less matthew fox in this movie is kind of weird because again yeah said seeing him cast and it's like this is

[00:46:13] after lost ended and he was household name for a lot of people so for him to be just this like unnamed para jumper character in the movie is is odd so that makes sense yeah it was really weird

[00:46:31] yeah uh also on the aircraft carrier did you notice one of the soldiers that i think you only saw him twice in the background but what are the soldiers because this again 11 years ago he

[00:46:41] was not known and not as big as he is now but king's lee ben adir was one of the soldiers on the okay yeah character uh which i noticed him right away because he's been very big right now

[00:46:52] seeing him in a lot of things uh secret invasion barbie and he is right now starring in the bob marley biopic as bob marley playing bob marley in the biopic so yeah i have not seen that one yet

[00:47:08] i need to see it i've heard it's good so he's one of those guys who's like really been blowing up lately so i immediately noticed him be like that's crazy that he was like background

[00:47:18] soldier number 43 you know like it's just that's not actually what he's he's just an uncredited like captain or something but like yeah it was just to see him and go up king's lee ben adir

[00:47:29] it's like how crazy in 11 years his career has skyrocketed past extra on their career great mm-hmm um well what about ruth nega yep uh ruth nega as well she is a uh one of the

[00:47:45] doctors at the world health organization yes she's done numerous things after this as well all kinds of great movies and tv roles but she will always be my tulip yes i'm pretty sure

[00:47:57] so great yeah i saw her even before this in love hate which also starred robert shean and she was also in misfits uh-huh uh yeah and then speaking yeah speaking of the world health

[00:48:15] organization of course peter capaldi as the doctor that fixed up jerry at the world health organization he was kind of creepy though so but what i said peter capaldi as a doctor

[00:48:26] at the world health organization so that makes him a doctor of who well he was credited as who who doctor yeah and two months after this movie came out baby c announced that he was going to be

[00:48:42] doctor who so it's all because of brad pit got it yep absolutely i've seen him in a bunch of things too he was great on torchwood children of earth um yeah very very good and that one that

[00:49:01] that was a disturbing season of that show for me it's very difficult to watch i think those are i think that's all that i have for the other ones and then yeah the kid who played tomas

[00:49:14] older now he was in that mr glaceous show on netflix with gabriel glaceous that i watched three episodes of and went nah i don't care anymore is that how it goes yeah i i think that's it yeah

[00:49:32] tom was great um but yeah sidetracked on like but yeah there's a lot of like fun little like side casting of like people who have gone on to do bigger things after or just kind of like

[00:49:47] that person yeah it's cool because you never really knew when someone was going to pop up so you're watching it oh wow yeah it was very cool to see uh and then i mentioned

[00:50:02] after the crash jerry is presumed dead and so his family gets kicked right off the aircraft character in carry in less than two days i was like that's that's cold less than two

[00:50:14] days after he was presumed that they were already kicking them off the plane yes that's cold and then they sent them to novus kosher that's colder yep having been to novus kosher and its climate is

[00:50:27] very much like it is in the state of main yes it's definitely colder yeah and then we talked about once they're at the the who world world health organization it's where jerry really puts together

[00:50:40] it sounds like you were going to say world horror organization that's a that's the ww out very very different organization it was gonna be in the sequel but then it hasn't it got cancelled

[00:50:57] yeah no uh but while they're there he puts together that yeah all of these people that he's seen the zombies ignore have some kind of like terminal or debilitating disease or sickness it seems like and so he needs a deadly pathogen with high mortality right but curable

[00:51:20] yeah it leads to quite the experiment of purposely infecting people with one disease to make them undesired by another uh it's a great plan the only thing that stands in the way is

[00:51:31] dun dun dun b-wing it may it takes me back to the walking dead and how rick and glenn slathered themselves with zombie guts and walked out into the zombies and it's like camouflage yeah this is a

[00:51:49] much cleaner camouflage well do you call meningitis clean um that's true uh it's meningitis can't be washed off by rain so at least there's that no uh yeah so they go in i mentioned like the weapons

[00:52:06] it's very classic cliches zombie kind of thing and then the one other who doctor the doctors of who um that he just keeps making as much noise as possible the whole time i'm just like oh my god

[00:52:19] this fucking guy it's like let me step on this let me kick this let me hit this door with my crowbar let me hit this filing cabinet let me okay this is why why'd that guy be the one to go take

[00:52:32] capaldi with you probably quieter yeah you do have to wonder it's like some people just can't be quiet you know it's just not possible and then with segan the gunshot and i was like well it's all out

[00:52:48] of the bag now just yeah run run for your lives uh yeah but then i like that jerry taking that like very leadership like sacrificial role where he leads the pack of zombies away from the others

[00:53:01] so they can get to the vault and then they end up not anyway uh so then he's got a circle background and do it himself fine i'll do it well you know jerry he's he's he'll take one for

[00:53:14] the team yeah and take take all of them for the for the team he's gonna take all the vials you get a deadly disease you get a deadly disease everyone gets their very own deadly disease except some

[00:53:25] of those deadly diseases were really deadly diseases and there was no cure and i know that the doctor that ruth nega played was concerned about him taking them out of a particular drawer

[00:53:41] yeah well and then he just like picks a virus at random and then go for it which i don't know i was thinking of a much better idea but my idea is very dependent on whether they can move the

[00:53:53] cameras from that uh room that they were in like if they can change the way the cameras are looking my idea would have been because we see him writing stuff down and it's not like he's like

[00:54:04] running out of time he had plenty of time to like inject himself and sit there and like get sick and then leave so you take the vials that you have and you write down the name of whatever

[00:54:13] the disease is on it on a paper and you hold it up to the camera and then the camera goes up and down for yes or so i decide for no like a little communication would have been nice work around

[00:54:24] the situation think outside the box right or outside the room you're in yeah yeah uh but he picked the right one i guess he opens the door and the zombie has no interest in him really and

[00:54:36] he walks out and you know grab a Pepsi and go for a walk you've earned a cherry but he makes enough noise that the zombies all start going the other way and i thought that was clever that was thinking

[00:54:51] yeah and then kind of barrels down to the end of the movie but yeah the idea of the world health organization sending out a strain of meningitis for people to administer to themselves on purpose

[00:55:03] seems wild i guess it's a much better thing than certain death and zombification so there's that but it's like yeah they have to send that out and then do they also then have to turn

[00:55:15] around and send out the vaccine for meningitis or did they play around with that enough to they probably made it make it a strain that's not deadly but like it has enough to camouflage

[00:55:25] for zombies yeah i like the idea of the camouflaging i think that that was kind of clever yeah and then i mentioned like kind of then we get the tie in with the title of the book and stuff is

[00:55:37] in brad pit's voice over there at the end is that the war against the zombies that have taken over all these major cities and all over the world that's where that begins and says like well we

[00:55:47] ever get a sequel movie to show any of that i don't know it's been announced and then confirmed and then pushed back and then canceled and then shelved so many times i've lost tracks

[00:56:00] yeah um it's a bit of a problem they were gonna do it then they weren't gonna do it then they canceled it in 2019 i'm not sure where it really is right now

[00:56:17] but i kind of want it but i kind of don't because it was going to be david fincher too yes and david fincher has a very distinct point of view in his movies and so i think

[00:56:31] with brad pit coming back to be jerry lane i thought it had a lot of potential to be even bigger yeah i mean this movie grossed over 500 000 that's really good yeah especially for a zombie movie

[00:56:51] i know it's not something that you would this was in the heyday of okay 2013 so this was season three of the walking dead where it was really picking up and zombie mania was really taking over a

[00:57:03] lot of people so oh my god it helped that like this movie was dropped literally in like the heyday of the era of zombies and pop culture yeah it continued it i mean we really got kick

[00:57:18] started with 28 days later and then dawn of the dead that really like started off and then this was part of like the continued wave of interest especially with the walking dead coming out yeah

[00:57:34] it's interesting because mr max brooks who wrote the book really wanted to hate it he wanted to hate this movie he wanted it to suck and then he went to see it and it didn't suck right and he didn't hate it

[00:57:50] he thought he was going to hate the differences from the book he was going to hate it because of that reason however it was because of the differences that he didn't hate it yeah so i

[00:58:02] thought that was kind of funny he was okay with it though and that's hard to i mean that's really hard to do writers are you know i mean when you create something whether it's a book or a movie

[00:58:22] or whatever you put something that's a big part of yourself out into the world and to think that someone's going to take that and turn it into a movie but they may completely change everything in

[00:58:35] it yeah that can be a little irritating and so it could have gone a different way but they did it in a way that you know made it okay for max brooks yeah it's good so i don't know if i was like

[00:58:53] an uprider of something like an author of a book that was being adapted i'd want to be involved in the movie which i always like when i see like source material authors being involved

[00:59:04] we were talking about this funny enough before recording but it ties in with mr carry with the girl with all the gifts because he wrote the book and the screenplay for then what would become a movie

[00:59:13] like simultaneously so he had a big say in how the movie adaptation went with enough changes to like make it work for cinema but like he had his hand in that and so he doesn't have to worry

[00:59:25] about somebody taking his baby and doing something crazy with it i know i feel like you have to be involved like to to take care of your baby you don't want someone else to mistreat it or

[00:59:39] destroy it so you want to be involved to keep it you know to keep it safe so that wasn't the case with this and i think it turned out okay yeah but i do think there is

[00:59:55] potential if people look at the book there could be a you know an anthology like tv series taking stories out of the book and recreating them yeah it'd be interesting i'd like to see

[01:00:13] that happen sometime don't know that ever but it could be interesting yeah maybe 50 years down the road someone will do it right um yeah so that's all the notes i really have on jerry but

[01:00:26] also i threw in a lot of of other notes i don't have anything for like the rest of his family at all uh no i don't think that there really is i mean there's not much to talk about

[01:00:43] really one of his daughters had an asthma attack and i kind of thought well maybe this is going to figure in more it doesn't really like they get the albuterol and that's it right it's like okay

[01:00:56] would she have been safe from the zombies or is asthma not asthma is probably not i don't know uh you know severe enough for the zombies to ignore right we don't know we

[01:01:05] don't explore that so no we have no idea um yeah and then a lot of the other characters inside characters i've talked about with tomas and a lot of the soldiers and the cameos

[01:01:16] which weren't really cameos at the time as much as just like oh look that actor went on to do some great things later um this was just like a stepping stone into that yeah um little so really

[01:01:27] just random notes uh you know it's not the walking dead because they used the z word in this movie a lot oh gosh in memos like memos someone used it that's why

[01:01:38] jurgen said that israel got the heads up is because there was a communication that came out of india where they use the word zombie like it was zombie yeah because it it's kind of it's

[01:01:52] become cliche at this point because the walking dead did it and so many do it where it's like oh if you're going to do a zombie movie or series it's going to be some alternate timeline

[01:01:59] universe where zombie movies and books and comics and stories never existed so people don't know what they're dealing with and it's like i kind of like sometimes to see things like this where it's like

[01:02:09] it starts happening people are like i've seen dawn of the dead this is fucking zombies like we know we know what this is even the doctor um the virologist or the doctor who ends up shooting

[01:02:25] even before they end up going to south korea he's sitting around a table with everyone and someone even says it's zombies like this is zombies but you know that no one wants to accept that because

[01:02:39] it's still even though people are saying that's what it is there are always those people that don't want to accept it i mean it takes me back to chud and how the people didn't want to accept

[01:02:50] that they were creatures in the sewers i mean it's crazy yeah it's like yeah the only other notes i have just two other little notes about like things we learn or see about other countries and kind of

[01:03:05] how things are going there uh we hear from the cia x cia guy that's being held in south korea he mentions that north korea had the teeth of their entire population removed uh that sounds

[01:03:20] yeah which is definitely one way of handling it uh and then also learned and that's why they end up going there that israel is the only country as of yet untouched by the plague uh

[01:03:30] as they had somehow managed to wall themselves up before it hit and so when they go to druslem you know i like uh what uh jurgen jurgen the guy there where you know his line i really like

[01:03:41] every human being we save is one less zombie to fight yes which i was like yeah this this dude has the right idea for sure this fictional version of israel is doing a great job of taking

[01:03:50] care of people and those around it and that's all i'll say um but yeah that's that's until the zombies start piling on to each other to get over the walls they didn't see that one coming uh so much for

[01:04:03] the whole last place untouched by the zombie virus thing uh oh no i do have a couple other zombie notes uh just a couple little things and the zombie is just leaping off the roof after the

[01:04:15] helicopter it's raining no i'm not gonna do that but i loved those things because that between that and the zombies climbing on top of each other to get over the wall those were things that when i see

[01:04:27] them it's like okay yeah i know this it's for sure world war z like yes again with with israel with Jerusalem the zombies heard the jam session going on inside the walls and they climb over because

[01:04:41] they want to jump in and do some crowd surfing they're ready to party uh yeah and then the zombies just moving and flowing through the streets like a flood of water is quite an interesting visual

[01:04:54] uh and then just the last one note was the zombie CGI not the worst no not the best by any means no it's not the worst i've seen no worse uh it has a few rough moments for sure in this movie

[01:05:08] but but it's decent enough it sounds like they get the job done um you can tell that like the big swarms are CGI and then certain zombies when they focus on just one zombie that's like totally

[01:05:19] CGI those are the bad moments but better not to do that yeah but but overall it could be a lot worse oh definitely i mean we have seen worse right yeah yeah i just had a couple of things was a point where

[01:05:36] when they were in the city and getting into the winnebago that they outside of the winnebago there's this cop standing there and he has his gun pulled and he sees someone one of the zombies

[01:05:49] attacking a civilian and he's not sure which person to shoot i'm like yeah that probably have to shoot both of them because at that point it's too late um and then jerry when they're in the store

[01:06:06] and he rescues his wife from being attacked and he shoots the guy and a cop comes in and he thinks the cop's gonna like take his gun and arrest him or talk to whatever

[01:06:17] the cop just runs by and goes to get supplies like he's like you shot that man i don't care i need baby yeah um the fact that that basically what was it uh the ship that they go to in the middle of the

[01:06:40] ocean that's 200 miles out into the atlantic ocean that's really a great i mean that's where you go yeah for sure far away from everything that's where you go you stay on the ship also um airplanes

[01:06:57] airplanes or is it airplanes definitely seem like the place you don't go yeah airplanes are definitely the place that you don't go airplanes are a great way though to have situations like this

[01:07:12] because if you look at we've had um snakes on a plane where the snakes go crazy and i did get a snakes on a plane moment when jerry throws the grenade and the whole in the plane

[01:07:27] there was the hole in the side of the plane and it sucked all the zombies out that gave me a snakes on a plane moment um we seem to have that though with these airplanes like there's

[01:07:38] a virus sometimes it's a virus on a plane or or snakes or whatever planes definitely are not good they're not a place to be um when this happens um that's for sure and i think that is everything

[01:07:57] that i had i kept writing down some of the quotes because i thought that they were interesting um but i think we've done yeah we've really done them all nice yeah i think we did it

[01:08:10] yeah it's fun to talk again we kind of focus more on like just the through line of what he's doing with lots of other little things yeah it's a fun movie and it's it's i'm glad we finally

[01:08:19] got around to doing it me too and there's the feedback phone so now we can finally get around other people maybe think about it i know i'm curious pick that up all right just when i came

[01:08:31] back from the feedback phone and yeah we got a lot of stuff today yeah it's world war z so of course we're gonna have some stuff on there but then we asked you for some extra looking forward

[01:08:43] some movies that you guys wanted us to cover they thought that you would you know movies you'd like to hear about or hear us talk about or that you think we would like

[01:08:52] so we added that on too and so we got a we got a full feedback phone we do you know i thought when i saw all of this that maybe our voicemail would be full but it wasn't so we can handle more feedback

[01:09:10] guys keep it coming so first up we'll do our world war z feedback our first one is from kelly who says this is one of my favorites i found it terrifying when it came out i don't think i

[01:09:26] had seen much with fast zombies before watching this i love the action in it and wanted more of the science and story yeah we hear from alma who says yes this is one of my favorite

[01:09:41] zombie apocalypse movies is a terrifying movie because of how fast people turn and how violently fast they are can you imagine if this actually happened i'd be so dead so fast mostly because

[01:09:51] i'm so slow lol i think this movie is the only one where the zombies pile up heli high which is another scary thought i love the part when the scientist guy said mother nature is a serial

[01:10:00] killer and lastly at the end we are left with a bit of hope i don't recall any other z a movie having any hope for humanity looking forward to the podcast yes i love that quote too yeah um

[01:10:12] when i was in montreal it was kind of interesting because the airport was packed because you have to go through customs and everything and i couldn't help but think wow what a shit show this would be

[01:10:26] if we had a zombie outbreak uh-huh so the next one is from moraine she says really love this movie flaws and all but for some reason i have to fast forward scenes when he is in career

[01:10:42] right after he calls home something about his phone ringing while on the bike really bothers me it's one of those movies where you say i love that scene for about 10 scenes but you can tell

[01:10:54] they had to work very hard to bring it together don't think they could have made it work without brad pit's skill he sold everything kind of hoping you two rank your favorite scenes it's a challenge my top three number three escape from israel number two philadelphia escape

[01:11:14] and one the cardiff lab but close and could be different on different days i don't know which scene would be my favorite i do love the escape scenes yeah i think i mean

[01:11:29] because she said them i'm gonna like kind of play off of those because yeah i think so philadelphia she says i remember earlier we were trying to figure out where they were at earlier because

[01:11:37] we're in new york or something so maybe it's supposed to be philadelphia maybe she's for sure on that so that's the case i think just kind of off the top of my head and like she said they could

[01:11:47] be different on different days so for right now i'm just thinking about it i think number three is probably the cardiff lab yes i'd agree the you know b-wing and everything

[01:12:00] i think is three two is going to be that initial escape for when they're in the street because of the like the the the seconds the count of seconds with the toy was just is really cool yeah but i'm

[01:12:14] gonna say my number one is the most ridiculous thing is when the doctor shoots himself and then just the whole uh abandoned airport zombie situation that goes around that i think is my

[01:12:25] favorite yeah you mean the part that she has to fast forward through yeah all of that i really like that too that would be on my top three i think my number three would have to be philadelphia

[01:12:42] number two would be korea and everything that went down there like you were just saying number one escape from israel just crazy to see the zombies climbing on top of each other

[01:12:57] running through the streets there was a lot of tension it was nuts and i was all on board for all of it yeah i mean all of them are interchangeable in a lot of ways though yeah because it's yeah

[01:13:09] there's like like she said there's a lot of really great scenes yeah different parts yeah the whole part too in the building like in when they're in new jersey and the building

[01:13:19] trying to escape the helicopter part i mean oh my gosh so much so much so much yeah all right the next one comes from us comes from us yes we have our own feedback all right the next one

[01:13:33] comes to us from danielle says i love this movie i enjoy the zombies that are faster and seem more intelligent than we see in the walking dead which makes them more terrifying i've never read the

[01:13:43] book but planned to i wish we had gotten to the walking dead scene of our heroes traveling up the road on bicycles lol the scene of the city falling because the refugees were singing and being loud

[01:13:54] was a great scene and also sort of ridiculous that the crowds weren't being controlled better and that than that man having trouble tonight uh the scene of the city falling because the refugees were singing and being loud was a great scene but also sort of ridiculous that the

[01:14:10] crowds weren't being controlled better than that and what seemed to be a fairly well organized city i don't have in-depth notes but i watch world rosy at least once a year and look forward to your

[01:14:18] coverage oh yeah you know what i wondered about that too because it seems like israel had been so strategic in being a safe place that it seems like they would have had that better controlled

[01:14:36] i have to agree with that and then with what you said about the book i do highly recommend you read it it's very interesting read but if you're not already aware of it which you maybe don't go into

[01:14:47] the book expecting it to be anything like this movie it's a very loose connection and comparison it's yeah very much its own thing yeah i think we talked about how it might be cool to do an

[01:14:58] anthology series based on the book and i really think that would be good like it could be really interesting but i do worry that the whole zombie thing has been played out now and people just

[01:15:12] aren't into it anymore right um yeah i'm not really sure so harrison says great cast and a couple of amazing set pieces like the opening in philly and the israel sequence but it ignored parts of

[01:15:25] the book that would have been great on the screen they didn't depict the event that turned around the war which was so key to the whole story and would have been really exciting to see ultimately it took

[01:15:36] out the war and made it into more of a typical zombie film despite some great aspects i thought it was an opportunity lost i think they plan to make a number of films and so that might have been

[01:15:50] something that was going to take place in the second or third film but of course we've talked about it they're pretty much dead in the water right now yeah and then lastly for the world war z feedback

[01:16:04] we've got one from kathryn says i reread world war z just a few months ago so i could follow along with the podcast a book club episodes but i haven't rewatched the movie since it was released

[01:16:14] i remember being pretty critical of the book differences back then but i really enjoyed this rewatch jerry watching that guy transform in only a few seconds while trying to keep his family

[01:16:23] safe was a great way to show us how capable jerry is and how dangerous the world has become without a character just explaining it to us i'm glad the story didn't have the family and constant

[01:16:32] danger i kept thinking of the movie greenland oh gosh but more about jerry's determination to save humanity to ensure the survival of his family i have to agree with that too yeah greenland

[01:16:45] had me on the edge of my seat almost every second it was almost like too much tension at times there is still a sequel in the pipeline for that one that's still yeah in the works as far as i know yeah i

[01:16:58] really want that i want that one there's also attack the block too there's a bunch i want them to make them so we can talk about them because they're gonna be great so we did get

[01:17:12] feedback with some suggestions for movies that we could cover lani says the reaping and skeleton key oh my gosh okay both of those are good i've seen them they're great got one from alma

[01:17:28] she says five nights at freddy's well well wink wink uh you just might be getting your wish sooner than you sooner yeah won't say too much but it'll be something special around that one but

[01:17:43] i think yeah but uh keep an ear out because yeah maybe happen and sooner than you realize yeah something a little bit different so kathryn says congo and i feel like kathryn has suggested

[01:17:58] this one before um or maybe not because my feedback might be a book it's not that good but just a childhood favorite i love the idea of continuing the shark nato series to replace tremors episodes

[01:18:12] the original leprechaun would be fun and i love everything steven king children of the corn has plenty of running it oh man that's a good one christine might be a stretch but fire starter

[01:18:25] is pretty much all running for their lives i don't remember much about the original but the remake i watched recently and it was better than i expected i haven't seen them but if covered i would totally

[01:18:37] watch the thanks killing sequel and more camp critisious okay all right oh man turkey more turkey i have seen thanks killing three which is the direct skill to thanks killing there is no two but part

[01:18:54] of the plot of three is that there was a two but then it got deleted from mankind because it was so bad or something i don't it's i watched it once it's it's a shit show uh

[01:19:07] well you know peg sometimes we do love a good shit show here yeah but we do already have our thanksgiving like episode planned because there was a great movie that came out that we're gonna

[01:19:20] cover yeah this year we're we're set we'll see never say never uh and then i like yeah camp critisious we gotta reach back out to greg and see if we can do another season that'd be fun

[01:19:31] yeah and then lastly we have from laura says renfield which oh my goodness yeah i still haven't seen it either but i want to i i do i mean nickolas holt and nickolas cage just both

[01:19:46] nickolas is doing all their nickolas things uh oh man should be it looks good looks great i've seen the preview but oh man so yeah i think that one's probably a high contender for
