The Spin Chagrin 208: 28 Year Later: The Bone Temple (2025)

·1 hr 22 min·5 clips

A sequel filled with limp zombie penises and a cult leader named Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal sets the stage for a wildly uncomfortable film.

The episode begins with the hosts briefly referencing last week's category 'Emperor Sex' before diving into their main review of '28 Year Later: The Bone Temple'. Frank explains the film's plot, which involves a zombie named Samson with exposed genitalia, a cult leader called Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal who leads a group called 'the fingers', and a doctor played by Ralph Fiennes who forms a bond with the zombie. They highlight key scenes like an initiation fight, a family being skinned, and a hallucinogenic dance sequence to Iron Maiden's 'Number of the Beast'. Chris and Frank discuss the film's improvements over its predecessor, crediting director Nia DaCosta for better direction and less shaky camerawork, but criticize the convoluted storyline that mixes cult horror with a zombie-cure narrative. They suggest the film should have been split into two separate movies. The conversation then shifts to other media: Frank watched 'Daredevil' episodes and 'Heat', praising the former's stakes and the latter's action sequences, while Chris watched 'Nick Knight' and 'Death Stalker', disliking the latter for mocking its genre. They also discuss rewatching 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Angel', noting fan service in later seasons. The hosts preview trailers for upcoming films like 'Supergirl', 'Masters of the Universe', and 'Mother Mary', sharing their excitement and skepticism. Finally, they engage in a wrestling talk segment, where Frank rants about AEW's poor handling of Chris Jericho's return and broader issues with the promotion's storytelling and safety, before briefly touching on WWE's Wrestlemania card.
