As a special feature of The Fanbase Weekly podcast, the Fanbase Feature focuses on and celebrates a specific element of geek culture.
In this Fanbase Feature, The Fanbase Weekly co-hosts Bryant Dillon and Claire Thorne are joined by special guests Christian Angeles (entertainment journalist – The Comics Beat, writer – Dead on the Inside) and Jessica Maison (writer, Mary Shelley’s School for Monsters) to participate in a thorough discussion regarding 28 Years Later (2025) in light of the film’s recent release, with topics including how the film was inspired by the COVID pandemic, how it speaks to the filmmakers’ fears of societal regression, how the film plays with fan expectations, and more. (Beware: SPOILERS for 28 Years Later abound in this panel discussion!)
