Jodie Comer
Jodie Comer joined Scott to discuss 28 Years Later.
She spoke about entering the world created by 28 Days Later and the expectations attached to a continuation produced many years after the original film.
The conversation covered the emotional centre of the story and the need for characters to feel recognisable inside an extreme setting.
Jodie discussed physical filming, fear and the difference between performing terror for the camera and experiencing the intensity of the finished sound and editing.
Scott also reflected on her range across Killing Eve, theatre and film, asking how she chose projects after several highly visible performances.
Jodie described the attraction of roles that required a different voice, physicality or relationship with the audience.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Aaron Taylor-Johnson joined Jodie and discussed his own role in 28 Years Later.
He spoke about the practical demands of filming action and the discipline required to make a character’s decisions believable during sustained danger.
The conversation covered director Danny Boyle’s visual approach and the unusual energy created by filming methods designed to keep performers unsettled.
Scott asked about Aaron’s earlier action roles and whether experience made difficult sequences easier or simply allowed him to understand the risk more clearly.
Aaron discussed the family relationships inside the story and why the film needed more than infected attackers to justify returning to the world.
Together, Aaron and Jodie described a production interested in grief, survival and community as much as horror.
Elder vs Millennial
Scott tested Jodie and Aaron with references from different generations.
The game used old technology, advertising sounds and cultural touchstones to see which guest recognised material from before or after their own formative years.
Their answers produced discussion about which objects had disappeared completely and which had survived through nostalgia or internet clips.
Scott kept score while both guests challenged whether some questions were genuinely tied to one generation.
19 June 2025: Vernon Kay
The handover returned to the film and the generational references Jodie and Aaron recognised or missed.
