Monotony, Singleness, & Dating in Shaun of the Dead

February 21st, 2007

One of the greatest chick flicks of all time, Shaun of the Dead is a great romance movie..

With blood. And Zombies. And a lot of laughter… if you’re a little bit twisted. Simon Pegg released Hot Fuzz as his comedy follow-up, and will be the new “Scotty” in J.J. Abrams new Star Trek flick.

It’s interesting to examine the phenomenon of the zombie, apocalypse, survivalist horror, walking death, and (in the case of this film) an examination of prolonged adolescence, the meaninglessness of life, and what women really look for in a man.
This movie has everything. Even cricket!

I had the privilege of unpacking the complexities of Simon Pegg’s hilarious character at our Ballard Campus and this hour of audio is the result.
