Episode 153 - World War Z (2013)

World War Z directed by Mark Forster.

He directed Monsters Ball, Finding Neverland, and Quantum of Solace.

This is written by four credited screenwriters.

The first one being J. Michael Straczynski.

He wrote The Twilight Zone.

He's the creator of Babylon 5.

He wrote Thor, the original one from 2011.

He also created the show Sense8 with the Wachowskis.

Did you watch Sense8? I have

not got around to it yet.

I keep meaning to because I've heard good things, but I have not.

When I think of J. Michael Straczynski, I still do think of Babylon 5, even though I was never a Babylon 5 guy.

But he's just so ingrained with that franchise.

And even I know now he's like trying to like bring it back.

um also a really prolific comic book writer um like in my day he was like a long-running like spider-man writer and he's just he's written a lot of other stuff um so yeah definitely a big sci-fi name and when you say the twilight zone we should point out people are like we talk about he's not rod serling we're talking about like one of the twilight zone reboots obviously

yeah yeah yeah of course yeah uh the second writer that came on was matthew michael carnahan he wrote lions for lambs state of play and deep water horizon which i'm you know pretty big fan of i like that movie only seen it once but very effective uh then damon lindelof had to uh show up and yeah yeah he he created uh lost which is i'll just say it's my personal favorite drama of all time um he created the

whole time

don't you dare uh don't don't don't keep that going

Just a quick sidebar.

Sure.

Sorry.

I'll allow it.

I'll allow it.

I just watched an interview with Simon Pegg recently where he was still propagating that as like the ending.

Oh my God, really? Come on, Simon Pegg.
