In this episode of The Biollywood Podcast, the Director of the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense at the Atlantic Council, Dr. Asha M. George, Associate Director for Research, J.T. O'Brien, and Associate Director for Government Relations and Policy, Robert Bradley, discuss the 2026 film, 28 Years Later: Bone Temple.

Premise: Set immediately after the events of 28 Years Later, The Bone Temple explores a fractured mainland where the uninfected survivors have become more dangerous than the virus. Young Spike is pulled deep into the violent, lawless cult of The Fingers, led by the charismatic and unhinged Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal. Meanwhile, Dr. Ian Kelson deepens his macabre philosophical experiments in his titular Bone Temple, striking up a disturbing kinship with an evolved, Alpha infected, and testing a highly unstable chemical cocktail that blurs the line between a cure and torture.
