Friends-Only Episode 53: Where Evil Lives (Reboot: Welcome!)
Added 2022-04-01 17:37:08 +0000 UTCYou know we had to do it to 'em: we had to go back to Raccoon City, where we disagree more than usual about the quality of the exciting film under discussion, last year's Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, the movie that dares to answer "What if we brought Riverdale-grade faces to a take on a video game movie that takes its source material very seriously?"
Clsn's got questions, Jay's got love for the streets (when they match the game) and one of the guys from Letterkenny got to be in a movie, so that's pretty cool! Admittedly, it's a little odd to be welcomed back to a place we never left, but maybe the movie was just being polite? Anyway, as always, you can count on us to bring you the utmost and the latest in Raccoon City news. Yes. So grab your bus pass and your favorite 90s artifact, because it's time ... for us ... to return to the source (of merriment).
Comments
Yeah, some of these things are in the remakes, so even things that seem to be made up explicitly for the movie are also just pandering. Others are just things that are so minor in the originals, I'm not surprised Jay forgot them (Claire did ride a motorcycle, Ben is inprisoned and then you have to try to bust him out, etc.). I will say I'm SHOCKED they had the subtlety to use a Cranberries song that wasn't Zombie.
