About this listen

Wes breaks down the bombshell teaser for Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil (2026). After decades of cinematic missteps, is a 90-minute claustrophobic gauntlet the "Third Way" we've been waiting for? We discuss why ditching the main game protagonists is a stroke of genius, the "game logic" hidden in the trailer, and if this marks a new era for R-rated gaming adaptations.

The failure of the "Faithful" 2021 reboot vs. the 2026 strategy.
Why Austin Abrams’ "regular guy" Bryan is the perfect protagonist.
Analyzing the "Zombies Falling" viral moment.
Zach Cregger’s "Director-Trust" and what it means for the genre.
