The crew was completely blown away by this film, noting how Director Edgar Wright managed to balance King's dark, prescient satire with his own signature, subtle jabs and kinetic energy. They celebrate the powerful performances that came from both likely and highly unlikely places. Specifically, they delve into the somber and beautifully executed monologue about a hot dog cart delivered by Michael Cera—a moment that redefined the emotional core of the film.
