About this episode

This episode discusses the evolution of zombies in the film 28 Days Later and the implications of the Rage virus in a post-apocalyptic setting.

This week on Post-Apocalyptia: The zombies have evolved! In Danny Boyle's 2002 film, 28 Days Later, we'll check out a new breed of zombies. They don't want to eat you, they just want to kill you--and they're fast enough and angry enough to do it. The Rage virus takes over England, and we're here to see just how badly that works out (spoiler: it's VERY bad!). All this and more, in 28 Days Later! Join us there, at the end of the world! 28 Days Later is available for rent and purchase on various streaming services, and available for purchase on VHS, DVD, and BluRay.
