Episode 19: Shaun of the Dead - First Daughter - The Forgotten

Zombies... Aliens... American Presidents... Anxiety-inducing monsters of ALL stripes haunt the major releases of September 24, 2004 as the boys revisit SHAUN OF THE DEAD, THE FORGOTTEN, and FIRST DAUGHTER! Episode 19 of Opening Weekend has arrived!

When the new Batman’s girlfriend plays the old Batman’s daughter, one wouldn’t expect Jason (of all people) to fall asleep halfway through the proceedings, but that’s just the sort of mind-numbing fairy dust that Forest Whitaker sprinkles all over FIRST DAUGHTER! When the plot of the latest Julianne Moore movie is more confusing and convoluted than the 9/11 conspiracy theories that seemingly inspired it, you’ll understand why the movie is called THE FORGOTTEN! And when you start doubting that future filmmakers will ever be able to make an audience laugh at the concept of a global pandemic, look no further than the brilliance of Edgar Wright and SHAUN OF THE DEAD!

From laser light shows at the Egyptian pyramids to cursory chest exams at the Al Hirschfeld clinic, excitement is the name of the game for our intrepid hosts as they dip a collective big toe into the Aughts with this, the 19th episode of OPENING WEEKEND!
