Danny Boyle and Alex Garland return to the world of rage-fueled devastation with 28 YEARS LATER— but not everyone is on board. In this episode of The Fixate & Binge Podcast, I break down why this new entry in the viral horror trilogy has divided American audiences, and why that might be exactly the point. 

This isn’t just a zombie flick — it’s a deeply British story with cultural scars, political echoes, and stylistic choices that don't cater to Hollywood expectations. I talk performance, aesthetic, why Garland’s storytelling hits differently across the pond, and what the shocking ending may portend in the next sequel! 

Time to rage… again.
