Resident Evil

We've talked about Resident Evil in 10 episodes since 2016. Most recent: Residents Evil - The New Resident Evil Movie, the Milla Jovovich Original, and Lake Placid.

Residents Evil - The New Resident Evil Movie, the Milla Jovovich Original, and Lake Placid

Matt finally watched the new Resident Evil, directed by Zach Cregger of Barbarian and Weapons, and he and Luke agree it’s one of the better video game adaptations in a long time. We also try to untangle the games’ ever-shifting lore (T-Virus, the parasite, Village) and agree it’s best to just go with it. Matt is midway through the RE4 remake, and Luke is holding off on new games ahead of GTA 6. That led to a double feature with the original 2002 Paul W.S. Anderson film.

Luke goes full cinema hermit and catches two movies in one day — the 40th anniversary of Transformers: The Movie (verdict: fun but makes absolutely no sense, Hot Rod forever) and Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil (verdict: actually good, go see it, the padlock jokes are perfect). Meanwhile Matt is still playing Yoshi and the Mysterious Book with his daughter, who apparently blasted through the new Bluey game in a single weekend like some kind of toddler speedrunner.
