Ep 199 The World's End

Welcome to Horror

It’s the conclusion of our watch through of Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy as we reach “The World’s End”. A film in which we learn what that thing above the door is called; another Bond gets the chance at some classy villainy; and we can all acknowledge that the Sisters of Mercy are fucking awesome. The Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy ends by combining the story of five school friends growing apart, with a sci-fi conspiracy of body-snatching alien invaders. There’s a few new faces in the cast, but essentially this is a victory lap for many of those we’ve seen before. Whilst it may be the lesser of the three films, that’s still no slight when you consider the quality of the first two. Still funny, still wonderfully executed, and possibly the best way to round things off, this is still great movie, even if it doesn’t quite match the dizzying heights of its predecessors. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.
