RETRO//RANKED: '28' Franchise

This is a re-release of Season 2 of our RETRO//RANKED podcast series.  We recorded the episode upon the release of 28 Years Later in 2025, and we are resharing it in honor of Nia DaCosta's 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple hitting theaters this weekend. 

The 28 franchise is a British post-apocalyptic horror series that began with the groundbreaking film 28 Days Later (2002), directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland. Widely credited with revitalizing the zombie genre, the franchise is known for its depiction of "fast zombies" — humans infected by the highly contagious Rage virus, which induces uncontrollable aggression within seconds of exposure. On this solo RETRO//RANKED episode for Season 2, we collaboratively rank the three entries to the 28 franchise, 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, and 28 Years Later.
