We’ve got a great episode this week with our first pair of sisters – Lizzie and Wendy Molyneux. The ‘Bob’s Burgers’ writers/producers are on to discuss the Danny Boyle film, 28 Days Later. They elaborate on what goes into a storyline for Bob’s Burgers, staying true to the format of the show, and seeing Tina Belcher in real life. Plus they explore what makes 28 Days Later such a classic; Cillian Murphy’s performance, the introduction of the “fast” zombie, and the humanity behind the film.
