This week, The Filmlosophers return to the wasteland for their first big review of the year, diving into the brutal and long-awaited expansion of the "Rage" universe. Hosts Eddie and Spencer, along with Intern Sarah, tackle the high-stakes intensity of Nia DaCosta’s 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. The crew provides their unfiltered and breathless thoughts on whether DaCosta’s stylistic flair successfully reanimates the franchise, the terrifying implications of the "Bone Temple" itself, and if this legacy sequel actually justifies its two-decade wait or if the series has finally run out of blood.
Once they navigate the infested streets of post-apocalyptic Britain, the team shifts gears to discuss the most anticipated cinematic trends and "philosophy-worthy" releases slated for the coming year. While the group finds common ground on the return of practical effects and the rise of folk-horror, the studio vibes get tense when Sarah takes the mic. She delivers a startlingly detailed and wildly controversial defense for why the hyper-sprinting infected aren't actually "zombies" at all, but are instead a misunderstood evolution of humanity that we should probably stop hitting with pipes.
It’s an episode full of apocalyptic adrenaline, directorial debates, and infected insights.
So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and tune in to this week's “bone-tastic” episode of The Filmlosophers!
