“He is opening up this world to way more possibilities...” - Andrew on Danny Boyle

On the second installment of our contemporary horror film chat show, Scaredy Cats, we’re talking about last year’s legacy sequel that brought a beloved franchise back from the dead, 28 Years Later!
How incredible of a return is this for Mr. Danny Boyle?! Has Aaron Taylor-Johnson been better in a movie? Did this movie have the best trailer of the last quarter century? When was the last time a horror film had such a fantastically successful dramatic arc? Could anyone but Ralph Fiennes have pulled off Dr. Kelson? And how old is too old to be buying Power Ranger toys? PLUS: Just a note, we taped this show before The Bone Temple came out, so keep that in mind as we spend this episode wondering what might come of that movie! 
And remember, look for the poll for the next Scaredy Cats selection in the coming days so you can vote on the next film we cover on the show! 
28 Years Later stars Alfie Williams, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Chi Lewis-Parry, Jack O’Connell, and Ralph Fiennes as Dr. Kelson; directed by Danny Boyle.
Scaredy Cats is a quarterly (four times per year) video show where we break down a horror flick from the modern age (only films 10 years old or newer) that YOU the Patreon supporter helps curate! Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the poll on Patreon where you can vote to help pick the next film we cover on the show!
We know you have a lot of options for stuff to watch and listen to and we’re so stoked you took some time to work us into the rotation. As always, thanks so much for being the kick-ass, TOP TIER supporter that you are!

“He is such a dirty slut in this movie!” - Eric on Dave Franco’s character
On this week’s episode, our month of episodes featuring convos about movies we watched in 2025 concludes with a total banger chat about the romantic drama, Regretting You! Are these the horniest bereaved characters in a major studio production? If your hometown has a local rodeo, does the town charter stipulate you have to get married immediately out of high school? Does Dave Franco really look “mysterious” wearing glasses or is this character just a serial killer? Does Scott Eastwood play a believable party animal? How much money did AMC Theatres have invested in this thing? And we all need to do better by Clancy Brown! PLUS: The Great Pop-Tart Rant of 2026!
Regretting You stars Allison Williams, Mckenna Grace, Dave Franco, Mason Thames, Willa Fitzgerald, Scott Eastwood, Sam Morelos, Ethan Costanilla, and Clancy Brown as Gramps; directed by Josh Boone.

“It’s all melted together into one chocolate bar of horrible…” - Chris on the Jurassic World sequels
On this week’s episode, the gang’s heading down to the equator to take a dangerous boat ride with Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali in the latest dino-centric sequel, Jurassic World: Rebirth! Is this the most half-baked movie of last year? Why couldn’t ScarJo be a grown up version of Clone Girl from Fallen Kingdom? Why are we so obsessed with referencing the first movie? Why is the story engine just a lame video game plot? Did they have any idea what to do with this mutated dinosaur idea? And were they kidding with that Snickers product placement? PLUS: The Skeleton League touches down on the island to collect Dino-skeletons. 
Jurassic World: Rebirth stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, Ed Skrein, and Rupert Friend as Martin Krebs; directed by Gareth Edwards.

“I’ve seen this six times…” - Andrew 
On this month’s We ❤️ Movies episode, we’re chatting about Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest cinematic achievement, One Battle After Another! How absolutely fantastic is Teyana Taylor in this movie? Can we confirm that audiences love it when Leo plays low-status guys? What a year for the legendary Jim Downey, huh? Has there been a better Steely Dan needle drop? And could Sean Penn take his fake nose from this movie and use it to star in a Jimmy Durante biopic? PLUS: Coming next summer, Paul Thomas Anderson’s American Pie featuring the Seann William Scott as Steve Lockjaw!

“I love the music though…” - Eric
On this week’s episode, we’re chatting about the sequel nobody had a hankering for, Tron: Ares! Why do we keep giving Jared Leto chances? Couldn’t they have gone a few more rounds with that script? Why on Earth did we need that ghostly cameo? Is it worth watching these movies sober? Can an amazing soundtrack carry a film all on its own? And how do you not get Bruce Boxleitner a check for this somehow? PLUS: Josh Gad playing the Grid’s seedy porn program guy? Why not?  
Tron: Ares stars Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Jodie Turner-Smith, Gillian Anderson, Hasan Minhaj, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, Sarah Desjardins, and Jeff Bridges as Ghost Flynn or something; directed by Joachim Rønning.
