On this week’s episode, the Fat Guys have been inadvertently infected with the rage virus from 28 Weeks Later and they have set their sites on devouring Lindsay Lohan, the Editor of Variety Magazine and ultimately the world. They do stop at some point though, pausing to review 28 Weeks Later, Georgia Rule, The Ex, Delta Farce and Waitress. Also, Kevin sits down to chat with 28 Weeks director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, then Kevin eats him… Or maybe not.

An Interview with Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, director of “28 Weeks Later”
BY KEVIN CARR
On May 11, Fox Atomic will be releasing “28 Weeks Later,” the follow-up to Danny Boyle’s 2003 thriller “28 Days Later.” Boyle hand-picked Spanish director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo to spearhead the new film, which tells the story of an attempt to repopulate London after it’s been devastated by the rage virus. Robert Carlyle stars as the father of a family trying to survive another outbreak.
Excepts from the interview follow. Hear the entire interview here…
KC: HOW DID YOU GET CHOSEN FOR THIS MOVIE?
JCF: Danny [Boyle] was the man who was looking for me two years and a half ago. He loved “Intacto,” my first feature movie. And then he thought that I could be the man to make this movie because I know he was wanting somebody who could be introduced to the concept with fresh eyes. I accepted the project because it was very important to me to make my own movie, my personal point of view of this. And it was so helpful to hear from Danny to forget about the first movie and to make your own movie. In those terms of freedom, it was something really, really interesting to me.

This week Kevin and Neil talk about tons of movies that only Kevin has seen (fortunately) and Neil bashes on The Condemned. Kevin also has a chance to sit down and talk with the Director of The Condemned, Ohio native Scott Wiper. Then all hell breaks loose as the gruesome twosome joke about Jack Valenti, the hotness factor of Helen Mirren and the directorial talents of Michael Bay. Hide the women and children…

An Interview with Scott Wiper, director of “The Condemned”
BY KEVIN CARR
Hear the entire interview…
7M: HOW ARE YOU DOING?
Pretty good. This year, I’ve had a blast. Spent a majority of this in Austalia, where we filmed the movie. It’s like you don’t have to grow up. You go out in the wilderness, and you blow things up.
7M: WHY SO LONG FROM YOUR LAST FEATURE?
Getting a movie made and getting it financed takes so long. I made my first movie, “Captain Jack” in Granville. We shot that in ’93. And then shot “A Better Way to Die” in ’99. So it was almost the same gap. In between, you’re always trying to get something up and going and financed. I think after “A Better Way to Die” because I written it and directed it and acted in it, I went in many different directions and enjoyed it. Mostly I did a lot of screenwriting. I liked it, but it was just how I made a living. The majority of that time was eaten up by screenwriting.
