Shaun Of The Dead (Featuring Michael Ornelas)

Piecing It Together Podcast

On this new installment of our Missing Pieces series I'm joined by comedian/podcaster Michael Ornelas to talk about Edgar Wrights 2004 zombie comedy classic Shaun of the Dead. Back out in theaters today for its 20th anniversary, it seemed like the perfect time to discuss some films that inspired it and some films that it inspired. Puzzle pieces include Evil Dead 2 (of course), Scary Movie and Monty Python.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for Shaun of the Dead and the movies we discuss!

Written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright

Directed by Edgar Wright

Starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Kate Shfield, Lucy Davis, Bill Nighy
