Inside No. 9: the ‘Simon Says’ Scene That Almost Went Too Far

New DVD release, , ,

Shaun of the Dead Gets Coronavirus Remix from Simon Pegg and Nick Frost

New DVD release, , , ,
Over 15 years since Simon Pegg and Nick Frost discovered a shortcut to the Winchester in Shaun of the Dead, the pair are reprising their zombie killers from the beloved cult classic. And for good reason. While in the Edgar Wright movie, Shaun (Pegg) and Ed (Frost) dealt with a very different type of viral outbreak—something to do with the dreaded Z-word—their experience is a great case study in what not to do right now. Both in terms of zombies and the novel coronavirus. In the below public service announcement video, the two riff on one of Shaun of the…
