28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)

·57 min·4 clips

We've been arguing off-camera for 20 minutes—welcome to horror movie pod chaos.

They open rattled, joking, and already tangled up in a Temple-to-Bone Temple pun. Brennan and Dubs spend the first stretch bouncing between a written intro, a preschool memory about Temple Beth-El, and the off-camera arguing that makes the bit fall apart. Then they kick off the new podcast year with the first 2026 film and the 26th episode of the show. A quick run of jokes turns the title into the Bone Temple Beth-El and then the Alone Temple, which is the kind of nonsense they are clearly happy to sit inside for a while. The spoiler room opens fast. From there, the conversation settles into the movie's zombie logic and the way the world keeps needing reminders that wandering off is a bad idea, even when the talk drifts toward the politics and philosophical parts of small survivor pockets. The panel likes the subtle fan service, but it also wants one scene to snap everybody back to the danger of the world, because Spike wandering away from the group is the cleanest example of why that still matters. A bathroom break gets hidden by editing. Sam gets a shout-out as the newest crew member, along with a joke that the people who join the show tend to leave the crew and die, which is exactly the kind of mean little bit this crew can carry. Then comes the summary for the scaredy cats: if you have the guts, pause, go watch the film, and come back. The spoiler-room lane then walks through how the previous movie ended with Spike on his own and how this sequel picks him up. The ending verdict is loud. One voice goes all the way to a 10, another lands at 9.9 before the room settles on the same number, and they keep circling the claim that this is worse than 28 Days Later while also calling it their favorite contemporary horror movie they've watched on the show. The Empire Strikes Back comparison lands. The conversation stays loose, moving from opening panic to plot mechanics to world-building and back again, with enough interruptions, corrections, and callbacks to make the movie talk feel like a room rather than a recap. If you like horror chatter that lives in the friction between dumb puns and real argument about a sequel's place in the genre, this one gives you plenty to chew on.

As heard by us

A joke-heavy sequel chat that still keeps the zombie threat in view.

The episode keeps things loose and joke-forward while still circling back to 28 Days Later. It opens on fear and wordplay, then slides into spoiler talk about subtle fan service, Spike wandering off, and the reminder that zombies remain the central threat.
