The Bone Temple rocks. See it!
I talked with Tom Ley about our shared love for the delightfully and unnecessarily committed and entirely batshit 28 Days Later sequels. (There are spoilers in here but nothing you wouldn't have learned from reading basically any review of the films.) defector.com/we-live-in-t...
