Shaun of the Dead (2004)

About this episode

Special thanks to Joel Harris, who ordered us up a classic, the 2004 Zomedy, "Shaun of the Dead". Directed by Edgar Wright, and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, it offers a lot of gore, laughs, and a surprising amount of heart. The guys discuss their history with the film, it's motifs and homages, and where it stacks up against the other films in "the Cornetto trilogy". Thanks again, Joel!
