Shaun Of The Dead

The first episode in Scary Movie Month 2024 that the Ellises are doing together gets into the second leg of Edgar Wright's Cornetto Trilogy. We covered Hot Fuzz a few years ago, but this one that put the Englishman on the map is—-to one of us—-funnier...and is his best film. As always with Wright and Simon Pegg, the flick is jammed with clever references to other movies. And in their zombie rom-com, they found the perfect pace while also finding ways to eek humour out of frightening or disgusting or even stupid situations. Nick Frost plays a horrible friend, but he's a grin-getter. Pegg is the funniest one in the cast though. So, pickle, head to the shop for an ice cream & a Coke, then make amends with your mum, your stepdad and also your girlfriend as you run the 615th edition of Have You Ever Seen under a cold tap.
