28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is a direct sequel to last year’s installment in the franchise, and sees Alex Garland returning as screenwriter, and Nia DaCosta taking over as director. Filmed back to back with 28 Years Later, it picks up on the story of Ralph Fiennes’ Dr Ian Kelson, and expands on the cult of the Jimmys. We discuss the film (and whether it’s likely to lead to the promised third movie of this trilogy), before then turning our attention to the question of zombies on screen, and who’s done it well/badly.

It’s been one of the most talked-about movies in the awards circuit: Hamnet, based on Maggie O’Farrell’s bestselling novel about the death of William Shakespeare’s young son, and the grief that ripples through a family. We discuss whether the film earns its tears, and open up the phone lines and ask: what’s a movie or series that always makes you cry?
