Brews N' Reviews - 28 Years Later; Zombie Ice
Thursday, 10 July, 2025

Send us a textWhat happens when expectations and reality collide? In this compelling episode of Brews and Reviews, Mick and Pat dive into the deceptively named "Zombie Ice" from Three Floyds Brewery and the surprisingly un-zombie-like film "28 Years Later."The journey begins with skepticism as the hosts confront a beer whose name screams "gas station Four Loko" but delivers something entirely different. Founded in 1996, Three Floyds built its reputation on creating beers so bitter that tasters would spit them out—exactly what the brewers wanted. But the real surprise comes with "28 Years Later," the long-awaited third installment in Danny Boyle's infected zombie saga. Rather than continuing the horror-action tradition of its predecessors, this film pivots dramatically into hero's journey territory. Mick and Pat decode how the film follows classic coming-of-age storytelling—complete with the metaphorical death of the father figure, nurturing a mother, encountering a wise mentor, and confronting the monster in the woods (both literal and figurative).The hosts debate whether this artistic choice represents bold evolution or franchise betrayal, noting that the most haunting moments weren't the zombie attacks but deeply human horrors.Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast, a horror cinema devotee, or simply curious about how expectations shape our experiences, this episode offers thought-provoking perspectives on how context influences enjoyment.
