Episode Description
Oz and Curtis are grabbing a pint at the Winchester, lining up the vinyl records, and waiting for this whole zombie apocalypse thing to blow over to break down Edgar Wright’s legendary horror-comedy: Shaun of the Dead!Shaun (Simon Pegg) is a 29-year-old electronics shop salesman trapped in a total rut. His life consists of slacking off with his slobby best friend Ed (Nick Frost), disappointing his mother, and drinking at the same local pub every single night—a routine that finally pushes his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) to dump him. But when a mysterious virus turns London into a flesh-eating horde of undead, Shaun has to step up, assemble his friends and family, and lead them to the safest place he knows: the local pub.We break down the film that launched the iconic Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy: Edgar Wright’s lightning-fast visual humor, the incredible comedic chemistry between Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the legendary "Don't Stop Me Now" pool cue fight sequence, and how the movie manages to balance laugh-out-loud slapstick with genuine heart and visceral gore. Is Shaun of the Dead the ultimate Zombie Comedy and a flawless Cult Classic, or just a movie that proves Sade's Diamond Life on vinyl should never be thrown at a zombie?
