Jack and Nora are joined by writer, comedian, and host of Everyone’s a Critic Yiannis Cove to discuss iconic rom-zom-com Shaun of the Dead. In this episode, Nora is good in a crisis, Jack would vote for the zombies to take over, and Yiannis does not approve of anyone in this movie/ would do what needs to be done. Grab your cricket bat, head to the pub, and let’s have a pint (and some shots)!

Topics include:

Watching horror movies on planes
London real estate prices (the scariest thing of all)
Whether we would survive a zombie apocalypse

–

Mysteries we still haven’t solved:

Is Shaun of the Dead a romcom?
Where’s our Yvonne of the Dead spin-off ?

–

Content warning: There's a lot of in-depth zombie apocalypse discussion, which gets weirdly dark and violent (e.g., suicide, killing your friends and family, etc.) - a little different from our typical romcom chat, so tread carefully if that's not your thing!
