SHAUN OF THE DEAD PATREON WATCH ALONG!

OKAY! Tonight just got awesome. "We're coming to get you Barbra!"

THANK YOU for watching this. It's so much fun. I love the big Hollywood concept of a disaster movie hitting a sleepy London suburb. This is continued in the other 2 Cornetto movies. The UK is sometimes the backdrop to big movies or UK actors may feature in the movies but this feels like a movie that fully embraces UK culture and humor. Edgar Wright first gained prominence in the UK doing a TV show called Spaced, this featured pretty much everyone you see in this movie. Shaun of the Dead was his first movie. It was marketed as the first ZomRomCom. Here is a brilliant breakdown of the genus in this movie and how it was constructed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WACOxk7ZE6E

Now that you've seen shaun of the dead shanelle, you have to check out the other 2 films in the cornetto trilogy: hot fuzz and the worlds end they are good just like shaun of the dead. Simon pegg and nick frost were in another comedy film together out-with the cornetto trilogy and it was called "Paul" with sigourney weaver and Seth Rogan as the voice of Paul the alien. It's set in America. I hope you enjoyed your spicy doritos.

And yes that's what we call "engaged" when you are trying to get through on the phone and you can't get through it means someone else is on the other phone.

i thought this dragged a bit. i thought it was British funny. but, Shaun is living my life, minus the girlfriend, so i can relate to it. it is a fun overall Halloween watch with friends, and it was fun to watch with you. see ya on the next one!!!

This script/directing is wildly self-referential and filled with detail; every time I see it I pick up on something new! This time I noticed the first time Shaun goes to the bodega, he starts to grab a diet coke but changes his mind for the regular. When he returns after Liz dumps him, he reverses, starting to grab the regular but changing his mind for diet as he’s now sorting his life out. Mary (the girl in the garden) was the cashier in the opening credits, and Shaun’s initial plan ends with them drinking tea at Liz’s - his mug reads “I am a genius” as he winks to the camera. Hot Fuzz and The World’s End are fantastic too! I’ve got my personal ranking of the trilogy but the gaps between them all are very close. They’re all really strong as casual watches but also have so much depth to mine on repeat viewings. PS - the term you were looking for when we know more than the characters is ‘dramatic irony.’

EDGAR WRIGHT NEWS: Just read that he's working on reboots of The Running Man and Barbarella. Excellent!

Hot Fuzz is a definite must. Great police parody with a slight cast improvement on Shaun of the Dead. The World's End was alright, but I don't feel like it matched the first two. Hot Fuzz is definitely my favorite, but that may just be because I was raised by cops and have worked for the PD for almost 17 years. I love when media relies heavily on ridiculously erroneous police tropes. That's why Brooklyn Nine Nine is one of my favorite show ever.
