Resident Evil 4 (2005), Part 4: “CPO: Chief Plagas Officer”

Épisode 24

mercredi 19 août 2026 • Durée 01:44:34

In episode four of six on Resident Evil 4 (2005), Keith and Logan wrap up the main game with their foray into the game’s island area. The co-hosts critically reappraise this final portion of the game and, in doing so, talk revolutionary and leather daddy ganados, what the average garage door speed was in 2005, why Sadler wishes he was blogging, whether or not Ada is a 1.5 agent, and how Capcom made RE4 a stealth sequel to Nintendo’s Wave Race series.

More germane to gameplay, this episode centers both Leon x Krauser fights (QTE knife battle and the Legends of the Hidden Temple fetch quest) as well as the endgame showdown with none other than Osmund Saddler, albeit in mutated scorpion form. Keith and Logan also ask if a degenerated regenerator (AKA the game’s Iron Maiden enemy) is just a generator.

Time Stamps:

0:00-7:13 – Intro, reflecting on The Green Knight and the films of David Lowery, and an overview of the island

7:13-21:50 – Island Ch. 5-1: Storming the island, why regenerators are scary, RE4’s claw machine minigame, and reuniting with Ashley

21:51-32:24 – Island Ch. 5-2: Paper planes and lipstick kisses; Ashley drives a dumptruck; Las Plagas mind control; and “Our Plan,” in which Sadler explains everything on a scrap of paper

32:25-1:12:33 – Island Ch. 5-3: Fighting “It” AKA U3, Krauser, Krauser, Krauser! (and Ada), “Enough talk; die, comrade!”, casting back to Kim Jong Un, and big spoilers for Alex Garland’s Civil War

1:12:34-1:25:53 – Island Ch. 5-4: The return of celebrity / pop culture imitations, the life and death of Mike the helicopter pilot, and the gnarly nature of the Plagas removal machine

1:25:54-End – The Final Chapter: “Would you watch Leon in a Forrest Gump-style movie?”, final fight with Sadler, rocket launcher echoes of RE2, and wrapping up the base game

Resident Evil 4 (2005), Part 3: “Bi-sexual-noculars”

Épisode 23

mercredi 5 août 2026 • Durée 02:02:50

We’ve “jacked da line” with this episode of Hot Zombie Summer—this time focusing on the Resident Evil 4’s (2005) castle.

Keith and Logan make the case for why the Castle of the 8th Castellan is the best area of the game, narrating their playthrough experiences with castle sieges, double Garrador fights, madcap mine cart action, and Crash Bandicoot-style running from a giant Ramón Salazar statue. The hosts also detail vital lore-building memos, recount memorable dialogue from this section, and explain why the castle’s sewer portion actually doesn’t suck.

Other topics you won’t want to miss include:

Keith revealing that he wasn’t aware of Shreks three through five
Why HZS is the #1 podcast for celebrity misinformation
What RE4 has in common with Mario Party
Logan theorizing why Harrison Ford has never played twins in a movie
Bashing The Lumineers
The reason Logan and Keith aren’t GereHeads (as in Richard Gere)
A brief discussion of Martha Stewart’s favorite catchphrase, “Aw, jeez”

Time Stamps:

0:00-5:14 – Introductory banter and why we’re so high on the castle

5:15-29:14 – Castle Ch. 3-1: Entering the castle, Leon says “No thanks…bro” to Salazar, Water Room fight, and Ashley getting kidnapped (again) Saturday morning cartoon-style

29:15-1:01:43 – Castle Ch. 3-2 and 3-3: Digressions about LOST and The Bear, whether or not Toad from Mario is a minor, why the hedge maze is reminiscent of The Sims, flirty fighting with Ada, and the last thing Luis Sera hears in his life is his name being mispronounced by Leon

1:01:44-1:34:55 – Castle Ch. 3-4 and 4-1: Why playing as Ashley works; lava rooms, king and queen grails, and breaking news alert memos; Las Plagas armadura fight; “Your right hand comes off?” / “Die, you worm!”; and how putting a Verdugo sticker on the fridge would have been like a video game trophy in 2005

1:34:56-1:51:42 – Castle Ch. 4-2, 4-3, and 4-4: A bizarre introduction to Jack Krauser, the castle’s underground, Dos Gigantes, clock tower enemy rush sequence, and Salazar boss fight

Resident Evil 4 (2005), Part 2: “Exploding Barrels and an Interdimensional OSHA”

Épisode 22

mercredi 22 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:57:13

Resident Evil 4 + summer in the Western Hemisphere = Hot Zombie Summer is in full swing! We’re back with episode two on RE4 (2005), and this time, we’re actually talking about gameplay in this playthrough of the village.

After chatting about RE4’s initial scene setting, namely what happened to Umbrella and why Leon is in rural Spain, we talk through the major areas of the village—ranging from the first, iconic set piece to Del Lago to the end-chapter Bitores Méndez fight.

Shenanigans ensue as Keith and Logan not only praise the game’s aesthetics and more action-oriented tone but also break down why arms dealer plushies would be bad, reflect on the Shinzo Abe assassination, and examine the place of socialist wellness coordinators and infinite harpoon technology in the world of Resident Evil. Just as critically, the hosts make the case for why the ESRB should’ve rated RE4 “M for Mature” on account of smoking and giant dongs.

Time Stamps:

0:00-3:40 – Introduction and how Resident Evil 4 is kind of like The Fast and the Furious

3:41-25:18 – Opening cinematic and narrative; first encounter with the Ganados; RE4 control scheme; aesthetics and atmosphere of village

25:19-49:10 – Village Ch. 1-1: First set piece, casting Leonardo DiCaprio as Leon and Matt Damon as Sadler, and meeting Luis and Méndez

49:11-1:15:26 – Village Ch. 1-2 and 1-3: “What are you buying?”, Ganado hierarchies and politics, Del Lago boss fight, and RE4’s memo problem

1:15:27-1:52:59 – Village Ch. 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3: El Gigante’s Hulk jorts, rescuing Ashley, why Sadler probably turned to Kickstarter in the 2023 Remake, siege defense sequence with Luis and Ashley, and the Méndez boss fight

1:53:00-End – Wrapping up and previewing the castle for next episode

Shoutout to Alex Aniel, whose book , we consulted during this podcast. Another shoutout to Michael Everette Hensley, the composer of our podcast theme music.

Resident Evil Ø: “Oops! All T-Virus”

Épisode 18

mercredi 27 mai 2026 • Durée 01:51:01

“This game actively pissed me off"—Logan

"I would have quit the game if not for this podcast"—Keith

Hot Zombie Summer faces its biggest challenge yet in Resident Evil Ø, the last of the Classic REs. In this first of three episodes on Capcom’s prequel title, the co-hosts narrate Zero’s complicated development cycle (shoutout to the Nintendo 64DD) and express their frustration with new gameplay mechanics: character zapping and leaving your shit all over the floor (AKA the removal of item boxes).

After going deep into the bench of REØ’s cast of characters—did you know rear security S.T.A.R.S. member Edward Dewey’s favorite hobby was dancing?—we navigate the Ecliptic Express, the iconic and inexplicably old-timey train section of the game. After our protagonists Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen escape the train, our recording ends with the first cliffhanger in HZS history.

The co-hosts also talk about number sickos, why having wings would ruin your life, and possibly going into business together by launching a brewery called #hops. Later in the episode, Logan claims he’ll get an “Emerald Fennell = Resident Evil” tattoo if this episode hits 100 downloads. And Keith not only calls James Marcus “Lindsey Graham-coded” but also suggests Billy is “Nick Cave-coded.”

Time Stamps:

0:00-4:06 – Introduction

4:07-14:31 – The nearly four-year development cycle of Resident Evil Ø

14:32-46:05 – The gang’s all here: Rebecca Chambers, Billy Coen, and the rest of REØ’s cast of characters

46:06-58:06 – The New Mechanics (not The New Pornographers) of Zero

58:07-1:11:11 – Waxing nostalgic about the Nintendo GameCube’s start-up sound, REØ’s opening cinematics and narrative, and the nü metal aesthetics of the game

1:11:12-1:45:00 – The Train: Meeting Billy, Leech Queen Marcus singing in the rain, giant scorpion boss fight, train puzzles (and dreams), and doing drunk math to pull the e-brake
