Friends-Only Episode 51: Where Evil Lives (Part One)
🕑 Added 2021-02-25 01:01:16 +0000 UTCWe ease back into the podcasting game with the early-aughtsiest slice of cinema we could find, the unexpectedly successful film Resident Evil! But is it merely a box-office success, or is there artistic success there as well? MASH THAT PLAY BUTTON AND FIND OUT, WHY DO YOU NOT?
A movie so early-2000s you expect it to have stories about Woodstock '99, Resident Evil is a serious-faced attempt to honor the, ah, let's call it a "mythos" of the games, with plenty of atmosphere, some not entirely expected pacing, and some brutal moments, some of which it turns out we've seen before. So hitch up your JNCOs and grab some nü-metal off of Limewire, because it's time to see what lies beneath the surface ... of human skin ... of that spooky mansion outside Raccoon City ... and, best of all ... of the business practices of the strangely popular Umbrella Corporation!

Okay, I think I figured out why the dogs look like that. The virus makes you itchy, and nobody put the zombie dogs in cones, so they chewed themselves up. I'm probably overthinking it.
I'm impressed that you managed to make the first Resident Evil movie sound not totally boring. Not enough to make me watch it again, but if and when you do the later ones I will totally watch them again while listening. But very excited to hear the next book, on the main food!
