Episode #186 – 28 Years Later: Bone Temple (2026)

Hosted by Bryan Kluger, a man who speaks fluent Freddy and Jason with the academic rigor of a TED Talk on gore, My Bloody Podcast is a weekly séance-slash-horror-symposium where no monster is left behind and no bloody boil goes unpopped. Preston Barta joins him like a vampire with a PhD, dissecting dread with surgical precision, while Chelsea Nicole; cultural critic, scream queen, and walking IMDb of feminist horror, makes sure every terrifying nuance gets its due.

Episode #186 of My Bloody Podcast opens like a rock concert at the end of the world. Three survivors named Bryan, Preston, and Chelsea huddle together in the dim glow of a brand-new release, 28 Years Later: Bone Temple, one of the first films to stagger out into 2026. They come prepared to admire it. They leave a little stunned, a little tender, and quietly convinced that they may have already seen the best movie of the year, even accounting for the inevitable December onslaught of prestige grief and tasteful snow.

Much of the conversation circles Nia DaCosta, who inherits the franchise from Danny Boyle and, in a rare Hollywood miracle, improves it by doing so. The film is ferocious, yes, but also unexpectedly kind. The film is brutal in its images and generous with its heart. It’s the sort of horror that doesn’t just want to scare you. The film also wants to sit with you afterward and ask how you’re doing, and maybe hold your hand. The trio marvels at the way the movie balances savagery with sweetness, and they spend a good deal of time agreeing, almost suspiciously so, that Ralph Fiennes deserves an Oscar, if only for proving that an Iron Maiden concert can double as a spiritual experience.

As with all episodes of My Bloody Podcast, order eventually collapses. Chelsea yells, then cries, sometimes simultaneously. Preston patiently excavates the humanity buried inside the horror. Bryan, true to form, steers the conversation toward naked tits, because someone has to keep things honest. It’s a triple-threat episode. It’s funny, thoughtful, and just unhinged enough to feel alive. Listen everywhere, preferably with the lights low and your heart slightly open.

My Bloody Podcast is where horror isn’t just appreciated, it’s worshipped, flayed open, and lovingly stitched back together. Listen in. Just don’t blame us if you start sleeping with the lights on.
