2022/10/13

This week Mike and Lara are joined by Kyle Orozovich for the perfect Halloween comfort watch, Shaun of the Dead. This 2004 British horror comedy was at the forefront of the early aughts zombie revival. Yet where films like Dawn of the Dead and 28 days Later were grounded and self-serious, Shaun of the Dead, delivered a metric ton of laughs to go over all along with some fantastic effects and gross out visuals. Shaun gifted the world the wonderful performances of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as Sean and

This week Mike and Lara tackle another patron’s choice with Noriko’s Dinner Table.
