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.

Talking apes and Jedi Knights are cool, but how do they impact Hollywood as a whole? That's the kind of stuff we talk about on Popcorn Culture - a mixed-bag-exploration of the movies, TV shows, and pop culture buzz that we love, as well as the ones we love (slightly) less.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple + Zombies on Screen

After dipping his toes into the MCU, Sam Raimi is back with the genre that made his name - horror (and corresponding squelchiness). In Send Help, Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien go head to head, as a mistreated employee and sexist boss respectively, who get stranded on a desert island together, and need to survive, whether by working together, or turning on one another and emerging victorious. We discuss whether this is a worthy entry into the canon of survival movies, before turning our attention to that genre in Take Two, and asking: What are the best depictions of survival, whether in movies or TV?

In this episode, we take a look at a couple of Southeast Asian films currently available on streaming. First, we review Malaysia’s own Memori, a kinship drama about a father who’s diagnosed with Alzheimer's and his estranged son. After that, we discuss the Indonesian film that’s garnering a lot of attention on social media, Sore: A Wife From the Future, which as the title suggests, is a sci-fi romance. Then on Take Two, we discuss our favourite time travel movies and series.
