Ep 5 - Double Feature: THE ZONE OF INTEREST / DEAD SNOW

In Episode 5 the Scot and Swede take aim at the baddest of baddies: on-screen Nazis! Pairing this year's The Zone of Interest with the early noughty’s winter zombie film Dead Snow.

Josh and Mårten discuss the humanization and dehumanization of history’s most heinous political movement, modern complicity in swipe-pastable activism and even the far right’s rise in Scandinavia… before descending into the blood spattered, penis-biting, snowmobile murdering, frozen gutters of Død snø (pronounced often, but badly, by Josh the Scot).

The Scot then recommends a wholesome Scottish drama where we all learn the value of community, whiskey and badly shot star scenes. Our Swedish recommend is a less uplifting TV drama following a Swedish serial killer giving the Scot and the Swede an excuse to muse over the ethics of true crime shows in 2024.
