Episode description as stored

The new Resident Evil movie is wild, scary, inventive, fast-paced, and funny . That’s because the videogame-turned-film franchise got a reboot courtesy of director Zach Cregger ( Weapons and Barbarian ). Austin Abrams plays a medical courier tasked with transporting an important medical MacGuffin, and his journey goes haywire almost immediately as gnarly perils pile up. But does the movie’s blend of horror and comedy work for newcomers and longtime fans? Looking for more gore? Check out these episodes: In ‘Weapons’, the kids aren't at all right, not in the slightest, nope 'Ready or Not 2' is a satanic and manic thrill In '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,' the zombies aren’t the worst villains Connect with Pop Culture Happy Hour: Letterboxd / Facebook Our weekly newsletter Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.
