28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

Dave (1980)

This week on the podcast, Jake and Pete head to the White House to ask one very important question: can a regular Joe step in and become the POTUS? hat’s right, the boys are going over Dave from 1993, directed by Ivan Reitman and starring Kevin Kline, Sigourney Weaver, Frank Langella, Ving Rhames, Charles Grodin, Ben Kingsley, and Laura Linney. Dave tells the story of David Kovic, a good-hearted temp agency owner from Washington, D.C., whose striking resemblance to sitting President Bill Mitchell lands him in the middle of a full-blown political conspiracy. When Mitchell suffers a stroke while nestled in the arms of an aide played by Laura Linney, Dave is secretly brought in to keep up appearances — but before long, this ordinary guy starts acting like the kind of president people actually wish they had. The boys talk 90s optimism, Kevin Kline’s sandwich making capabilities, Frank Langella as a world-class political snake, and poor poor Charles Grodin... just a moment of silence for that angel Murray.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

This week on Jake and Pete’s Movie Talk, Jake and Pete head back into the world of the Rage Virus with 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. The boys dig into the film’s strange mix of post-apocalyptic horror, cult madness, British weirdness, and unexpected humanity. They talk through the rise of Jimmy Crystal and the Fingers, Dr. Kelson’s bone-built memorial to the dead, Samson’s possible return from infection, and the big question at the heart of the movie: after society collapses, are the infected really the monsters — or are we? Expect fast zombies, Satanic tracksuits, Duran Duran, Iron Maiden, questionable survival decisions, and way more discussion of floppy zombie nudity than anyone probably needed.
