You're all going to die down here...of laughter!

Resident Evil is the movie that we somehow got instead of an adaptation of the hit horror game series by the same name. It features Milla Jovovich in a role that answers the question no one dared to ask: had you considered just kicking the zombies? Joined by a flock on white guys so indistinguishable that it's hard to keep track of who is dead and, of course, Michelle Rodriguez doing her TOUGH GIRL SHIT (TM).

Come, join us as we grope hopelessly through a sea of nu metal in hopes of finding something redeeming.

Topics of Discussion:
-Nu Metal: Threat or Menace?
-At what point to we have to accept that people in this movie live in an alternate universe where there are no zombie movies
-Communication is key
-Did you program you AI with the brain of a 9 year old?
-Some very good boys and their tasty jelly and meat suits
-Milla train four months...for this?
-Why is Kaplan still here?
-Wait...did you hit your onsite security team with amnesia gas...on purpose?
-Like Stannis Baratheon, all of our ships go down in flames.
-Bad CGI kills
