There's a great small detail I think you guys missed. The tracking shot of Shaun going about his morning where he walks down the street to the convenient store he original goes in, goes to the fridge, pulls out a diet coke only to change his mind and get a regular coke. Then him and Liz get into a fight where she mentions he never sticks to his diets or works out. The following day when they repeat the tracking shot but the world has gone to shit, he goes to the store and pulls out a regular coke only to change his mind and get a diet coke because of what Liz said. It's something I didn't notice right away but it's a great little character detail.

I know people love Hot Fuzz (and it is good) but this is my favorite of the Cornetto Trilogy. I remember when this hit theaters out of nowhere in the States. I just wanted to see it because it was a zombie horror comedy and then completely falling in love with the movie. I had no idea who the people who made it were (Spaced didn't have a DVD release in the States at the time) but my friends and I immediately set about finding more stuff from pretty much everyone involved. One of my friends got their hands of a regionless DVD player and the British DVD set of Spaced and we ended up loving that too. But Shaun will always be one of my favorites. Great movie who's cleverness and giddy heights are rarely reached by films these days.

[@slimjimpui]

I think that Shaun is better paced and even when shit gets crazy towards the end; it keeps the stakes high so it never seems farcical. Hot Fuzz has a great build up but it falls through in the execution of the action stuff in the third act. Once I gauged that I was watching something akin to those insufferable Channel Awesome anniversary crossovers where everyone is screaming and throwing stuff at each other I kinda zoned out

I dont know if you touch on this but regarding Philip..i like how shaun starts off by shrugging off that he has to kill philip and then imagining his plans going through in that montage and in each one he kills Philip in a smooth and cool way ..but when he actually gets to the house its suddenly difficult and you feel for Philip. Movie knows how to do comedy but still make us care about characters.

[@mudcrab3420]

No one mentioned that the 'dogs can't look up' line came from the making of Spaced? There was the ep in season 2 where Colin the dog, after feeling unloved, had started sneaking next door for attention. There was a scene where the doggo was running across the lawn to the gap in the back fence and Daisy from the upstairs window was calling to him. (well her - doggo actor was actually a gal doggo) The plan was that Colin would look up to the window, but then keep walking to the hole in the fence, but despite the fact they would call from the upstairs window, the dog would always turn and look horizontally towards the house's back door. Edgar became convinced from that that dogs literally could not look up and I think it became a running in joke with him and Pegg. (we had a doggo that would do similar. We would look out the kitchen window and see him 'up to something' and tap on the window to let him know we could see him. He would always look at the back door rather than the window. I guess doggo minds work on the fact that they know they can hear you from the window, but if you are going to come out you are clearly going to come through the door, hence they watch the door to see if you are coming out or not.)

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

One clever directorial aspect of the film that I liked is how, thematically, the film is all about how we (represented by Shaun) are all so wrapped up in our daily motions, that we often miss or overlook major events in our lives, and downplay the significance of the wider world around us. And to convey this, _many_ of the shots in the first half of the film are filmed from either a medium or close up of Shaun, to the point that Shaun himself takes up much of the screen in many of the early shots of the film. We only drift away from this hyper-focus on Shaun at key moment when he is interacting with/noticing things happening in the world. Talking with Pete, noticing odd behavior of pedestrians, etc. And it's because of this framing that Edgar Wright is able to frequently interject various aspects of Shaun's personal life; whether it be an arm, a telephone, or a person's face; as a complete to surprise to distract from what's going on. As the film progresses, the camera more frequently wanders away from Shaun; focusing on other characters, filming from a more comfortable distance, and including more group shots, to reflect the fact that Shaun is getting a wider and wider perspective on his life and the apocalypse that is engulfing his world. As his perspective widens, the perspective of the camera and the films focus also _physically_ widens.

[@BadgerOff32]

It would be interesting to have a discussion about Spaced now. Going back and watching it after the Cornetto Trilogy has happened, you certainly notice where a lot of their ideas for the films originated from. There's the famous zombie episode where Tim (Simon Pegg) has done a load of cheap speed and does an all-nighter playing Resident Evil, then the next day he starts freaking out and seeing everyone as zombies. There's the paintball episode where they take it way too seriously and Mike (Nick Frost) has an overly dramatic 'death' scene after being hit by a paintball. There's Peter Serafinowicz playing a right prick in Duane Benzie There's the Robot Wars episode where their rival Dexter is kinda similar to the Andies from Hot Fuzz. There's a lot of parallels

[@thisisfyne]

Just as I was done watching the Hot Fuzz Happy Hour AND the movie itself, this pops off! That's awesome! Pouring myself some rum and here we go! Edit: I like that at the beginning they go right into the contrast between Shaun and David. It made me realize that as far as storytelling goes, we're much more favorable to incompetent characters with good intentions than characters that are correct but with ulterior motives or an arrogant attitude. Most characters in this movie embody who Shaun should or shouldn't be (the most obvious being Ed and their flatmate Peter Sefruhkfflsdkjfsky), it's such a well crafted film!

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

I think that goes to show how much we, as people, value intent; we're willing to forgive flawed people whose intentions are good, so long as they are capable of improving and that their flaws aren't critical/dangerous, but a smart and logical person with ill-intent is someone to be mistrusted.

[@archstanton9073]

[@jandcstopmotion7774]

Spaced is awesome. There is a few references to it in Sotd, Tyres is one of the zombies and Pete answers the phone the same way as Duane Benzie does. You can also see ideas in it that are also in the Cornetto trilogy, the Plan scene in Sotd is very similar to one in a Spaced episode.

[@JoTheVeteran]

3:00:33 Incorrect. What you actually had in Attack on titan, was the conclusion of the story. Instead of endlessly milking the success like other franchises (Naruto, Bleach, One piece) the author chose to end it, exactly how those British movie writers you mentioned, used to do in the good old 70s to 90s. Now, some people didn't like that ending, and that's fine, but most vocal negativity comes from a very small, very LOUD crowd, that didn't like the story even before the ending simply for ideological reasons. Hear none of these people, and go watch it. It certainly did not do a Game of thrones ending, where everything is turned upside down, simply to support the plot.

[@thomasbarrett5676]

Also details like Pete has a scorching red mark down his body, because he clearly was in the shower standing under hot water all morning. Just one of hundreds of details Edgar Wright didn’t have to put in, but he did it anyways and gives the film much more authenticity and humour on multiple viewings. Baby driver is another good movie I’d recommend.

[@frickjames4089]

Drinker, you necessity for sanity, I'd love to see you make a video (or short) of the movie Pursuit of Happyness. Such a gut wrenching and real recognition of how hard and cold the real world can be to someone trying to follow their dreams. Along with a man figuring out how to be a single parent during all this struggle. If you haven't seen it, definitely recommend good sir!

[@paranoyd70]

As an American and only speaking for myself...British comedy is always hit or miss with me. I wasn't expecting to like Shaun of the Dead, but considering it was a zombie movie which is one of my personal favorites, I decided to give it a watch anyway (years ago)...and I absolutely loved it. I watched Hot Fuzz as well, but just thought it was okay. And a little off topic, but damn I miss Benny Hill. That Brit was a genius, and it saddens me how he was one of the first casualties of the woke Leftist mindset that was starting to gain ground. Benny Hill is missed but never forgotten.

i’m an American as well but i love British comedy. i guess it’s more of a taste thing. shows like Peep Show, Black Adder, The Inbetweeners, Green Wing are all fucking hilarious. i’m from the south too where you’re more likely to see a Confederate flag than a British person, something about their sense of humor kills me.

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

I had the honor of showing this movie to my little sister sometime a year or so ago. My sister is someone who generally prefers animations, not really into live action films for the most part, but she really likes Zombieland and Scott Pilgrim, inclusing the Scott Pilgrim movie by Edgar Wright. So, I billed this movie to her as "Like Zombieland, but made by the guy who did Scott Pilgrim, also it's British." And that was enough to get interested. I thoroughly love this movie, and while I think Hot Fuzz edges it out just slightly, I have a bit more of a personal attachment to this film in the Cornetto Trilogy for that reason. (Also, I wrote an essay on this film in college; pretty rudimentary stuff by my present-self's standards but it got me a perfect mark none-the-less, so I'll take it).

[@dimas3829]

Ah, "Come and see", a masterpiece that breaks you to the point that it is impossible to rewatch. There are lots of excellent soviet anti-war movies since those that made such were quite tired of WW2. Soviet censors didn't mind that. Soviet Sherlock Holmes is considered by the best international interpretation of such by the British mass media. Overall, USSR had lots of good dramas and propaganda is usually only finds place in sci-fi Soviet movies, though, I would even recommend to watch those too, since Soviet view on encounter with aliens QUITE differs from Western one. Finally, there are lot of Soviet movies that make fun of the soviet system and inefficiency of such - Gaidai was famous in the ironic comedy genre depicting such. You miss too much thinking Soviet movies are heavy on propaganda by default.

I feel like I'm commenting as I go along, but here goes: thank you so much for your points about Endgame - it's such a mess and I get so pissed off at the good reviews it was getting (and still is), because it's barely a movie, just a mess of references and callbacks and wink wink moments. I'd slightly disagree with you about the time travel ruining it - in my opinion, it's really the type of time travel they had (the stupid Pym particles and QUANTUM) which made a mess. Basically, they spent two movies setting up the Time stone as if it was going to be at all relevant, and then it was NOPE. We have these particles. It was like the Chekov's gun thing, if in the third act they ignore the gun hanging off the wall and use a rocket launcher which they pulled out of their ass. Anyway, sorry for the rant (it's been two years and I still have these FEELINGS)

[@djassassinuk]

Yes Mauler!! WHIPLASH is outstanding!!

[@tomdadada]

There are no wasted moments in this movie. Every little second is used (visually, tonal, dialogue, music, etc.) in the best possible way to create THE BEST (BRITISH) Zombie-flic. 20:45 Good point! The thin line, mixing comedy and a true horrorfilm was quite dangerous. So many movies try and totally fail. But Edgar Whrigt, Pegg & Frost totally hit the sweet spot! Thats what makes this film so rewatchable and beautiful. You easily connect with all characters; you laugh, fear and even die with them. Masterpiece

[@andrewiangillies]

SOTD is one of my favourite films of the last 20 years. But I struggle to really like 'Hot Fuzz'. For me, at best, it's decent. I've thought about why, and the closest I can come is that I have a 'believeability' issue with it...it just seems far fetched in a way I can't get on board with. Which is odd given that SOTD is a zombie film, but there we go.

[@slimjimpui]

Hot Fuzz is my least favourite- for me it has this great build up throughout the first two acts and then the action finale kicks off and about halfway through starts to feel like one of those awful "That guy with the glasses" anniversary meet up crossovers where everyone is screaming incoherently and throwing frozen peas at each other in the supermarket. This jarring chaos outstays its welcome as it just seems to go on and on. This was also the point at which I'd had enough of Edgar Wright's exhaustingly overused whip pan cutaway style(complete with obnoxiously loud sound design)- I never had a problem with it originally when I used to watch Spaced (which clocked in at a gentlemanly 25mins per episode) but now I'm acutely aware of it; it sticks out like a sore thumb and grates

[@andrewiangillies]

@@slimjimpui You excellently put into words what I was struggling to do myself. Thanks. Like you, I really enjoyed the first half. I found it funny, I liked the mood being created, I liked the pacing. And then it just got stupid and over the top in a way that didn't work for me (sometimes stupid and over the top does work for me), and I walked away feeling kind of empty and let down. Whereas SOTD was fulfilling from beginning to end.

[@davidgannon5388]

15:55 - when Ed takes the phone from Sean and says, "We're coming to get you, Barbara!", it was a deliberate homage to George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead." The original line is at the beginning, when Barbara's brother is teasing her in the cemetery, saying, "They're coming to get you, Barbara!" Fun fact: Romero was at the premiere, and Simon/Nick were talking to him after the film, and they asked him what he thought of the homage. He didn't recognize it! They had to point it out to him!

[@seancallaway5204]

The one trope I couldn't stand was when Phillip dies in the Jag and Ed doesn't clue in when Shaun tells him to pull over. Too many times in movies one character doesn't take a warning or command seriously even when they should know shit's gone sideways. "Stay here!" *two minutes later* "C'mon, let's leave this safe spot." That whole scene makes me really hate Ed. He finally slams on the brakes like he's in an episode of Starsky & Hutch and then acts like a butt-hurt child when Shaun yells at him even to the point where he won't open the car door to let Diane and David out. And then when Ed takes the phone call outside the Winchester...jesus christ.

(Sorry multippe comments) agreed with the commenter who stated that simon Peggy got too preachy.

The one takeaway I got from this is that people see 'The Worlds End', as the 'worst(yes i know its good, but the see it as the worst of the 3)', and that hurts me personally. I like SotD, and Hot Fuzz, but I think The Worlds End is honestly the best. I lived a wayward teenage years of being both main characters. I was often the serious best friend and the intoxicated asshole who no one could believe. That movie hit me like a ton of bricks...

I think WE is my actually favourite. I didn't get it the first time and was actually a bit disappointed after seeing it in the theaters. Hot Fuzz by comparison I went straight back and watched again the next day and would have done it the third day except I had plans to catch up with mates. Was only when I picked up the DVD a few months later that WE 'clicked' for me and I really started to appreciate the characters and their story arcs more.

If we don’t get a video of the drinker tearing army of the dead apart I’ll rage! And riot!

[@playmaker159]

well you got it

[@Neat0_o]

@@playmaker159 lol I just seen that he uploaded it. Awesome! I liked the movie but it can definitely be ripped apart.

Love the sequence at the beginning when saun is walking to the store in the morning. Some of the funniest shit!

[@frodo7287]

I don't typically enjoy British humor. I'm Canadian and a lot of it doesn't hit home for me. Shaun of the Dead was pretty good.

20:04 - the wedding guy in the shop who turns up as a zombie (missing an arm) at Sean's house is an actual paraplegic, missing an arm!

[@stevendee6800]

Love Shaun of the dead and there’s loads of clever references in that film that lots of people are too dumb to get. Not sure why drinkers wearing a red tie and white shirt though?

[@HulkCrow]

I feel like this comment is actually really clever...?

[@Biggiiful]

@@HulkCrow really clever or really ironic haha

Shaun falling through the shed door mirrored by Danny in Hot Fuzz

Re. the horrible revisionist trend, I've read a really funny intro for a revisionist movie about Gaston (the villain from Beauty and the Beast), who was an avid reader until his mother was killed by a heavy bookshelf which fell on top of her.

Amazon has The Cornetto Trilogy, all 3, one box, less then $20

The first time I've watched one of these (discussions, I mean - not Shaun of the Dead - I've seen that many, may times), and I really enjoyed it! Re. Ant Man and the Wasp - the plot was QUANTUM, haha, and the entire reason was to set up the McGuffin for Endgame, so that we'd solve the Snap in the worst possible way. The only good thing about either of the Ant Man movies is Luis (Michael Peña) and his various narratives: come to think of it, they really remind me of Edgar Wright's technique - like the part of Shaun where he's narrating various possibilities of what they would do next. Hmmmm.

I'll bet Angry Jew loved army of them deads. #bringbackdueling

[@johnbrainard566]

When talking about other great horror comedies, how did they not bring up Return of the Living Dead?

[@HulkCrow]

Holy shit man!! Are you wearing a tie!!?? I never thought I'd see the day!! Looking sharp, mate!👍

I tired watching the worlds end but it just was so dull. Maybe it’s a slow build? Hot fuzz and Shaun really catch your attention and hold it but the worlds end is such a niche film that fewer can relate to because it’s more focused on the relationships rather than the situations and action. Edgar right is a terrific director but lately he hasn’t had a winner. Baby driver was very poorly cast for me I feel like I might’ve liked it with a better cast. I really liked Scott pilgrim though I’ve heard many people hated it. It’s at a mixed bag.
