September 24th, 2024, marks the 20th Anniversary of Shaun Of The Dead's US Release. The forever-fresh cult classic not only launched Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost to mega-stardom, but the film also kicked off a trilogy of brilliant collaborations between the three artists.

In this episode, Bella and Nick are joined by Daniel Ott to discuss all three of the high-octane, humanist, genre-bending films of The Cornetto Trilogy (aka The Colours Cornetto).

• We opened with the film that started it all. Part romantic comedy, part zombie film, Shaun Of The Dead still thrills audiences 20 years after its original release.

• Second in the trilogy is the pedal-to-the-metal buddy comedy Hot Fuzz, which happens to be Daniel Ott's favorite film of all time.

• Finally, the most mature and emotional film of the bunch, The World's End, wraps up the trilogy's thematic thread with a wallop of introspection and, of course, some laughs as well.

Let us know what your favorite film of the trilogy is!
