”Zombieland (2009)” with Nic from ”In Love, with Movies”

This week's episode is proof that you can actually meet genuine people at comic cons. One half of "⁠In Love, with Movies⁠" hosts, ⁠Nic⁠, comes on the show to chat about ⁠Ruben Fleischer⁠'s only undisputedly good feature "⁠Zombieland⁠". ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ and his guest did not take a lot of notes suggesting that it maybe one of the best paced comedies of the current century. Watching the feature was more than a pleasant palate cleanser after visiting "⁠FeaDotCom (.com)⁠" for ⁠Ally's Accessories Shop on Etsy's "Trash Feature Revue"⁠.

The two end up realizing the kind of comfort cinema sci-fi comedies can be. It is only appropriate that it pulls so much from "Ghostbusters" with very little shame. Zombieland's characters may not evolve, but like the three NYU professors who got into paranormal investigation, they do not have to. If they did, the audience might leave feeling betrayed (which may explain the lack of success of "Gangster Squad" and what ⁠CatBus⁠ feels is an underappreciated sequel "Double Tap"). If the premise is enough, why mess around with it too much? Of course this film got a crappy television show when Amazon said hold my beer.
