Episode 593 - Resident Evil (2026)

This week, we’re heading back to Raccoon City for Resident Evil (2026), the latest attempt to bring Capcom’s iconic survival-horror franchise to the big screen. We break down how the new film approaches the games, whether it captures their mix of horror, tension, and insanity, and how it distinguishes itself from the many Resident Evil adaptations that came before it.

We also get into the scares, creatures, gore, action, and characters, along with the movie’s references and Easter eggs for longtime fans. Does this finally feel like the Resident Evil movie fans have been waiting for, or is the franchise still searching for the right formula?
