| Every Damn Frame of "Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City" (2021) | 08 Sep 2026 | 01:50:18 | |
Itchy Tasty. Why did Leon take this job? Why did WE take this job? Is there something in the water, or is watching every damn frame of Johannes Roberts' Welcome to Raccoon City slowly driving us insane? We stopped off at Blockbuster on the way to Planet Hollywood to buy a used DVD of this first attempt at a live action reboot to see what a Resident Evil movie is like without every gamer's least favorite character Alice, and it's a wild ride.
We also discuss our thoughts and fears about the upcoming 2026 reboot and what any of this means for the future of a franchise that quite literally dies but doesn't stay dead. SHOW NOTES Liz really wants you to see this Legends of Tomorrow "Return of the Mack" clip.

| Every Damn Frame of "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" (2016) | 01 Sep 2026 | 02:17:45 | |
Hop in the ThunderTank and get ready for OUR Retaliation Mode, because it's time to discuss 2016's Resident Evil: The Final Chapter written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich and their daughter as the Red Queen. We discuss the fine art of gaslighting your way through a "previously on" and various little girls with scientist dads and get very excited about the prospect of an all new CONVOY. Meanwhile, we FINALLY get an overview of the Umbrella Corporation's business plan. It's the Final Chapter, but will our beloved filmmaker stick the landing with a $40m budget? Other Good Bits:
Plus, we do a final accounting for Superlatives across the entire Alice Saga but wait wait wait there's still more Resident Evil to come! BUY LIZ'S BOOK! How to Build a Robot (Boyfriend) is available now This is Jesse's favorite of the acoustic guitar covers of the Resident Evil theme | |||
| Every Damn Frame of "Resident Evil Retribution" (2012) | 25 Aug 2026 | 01:41:43 | |
We're back! Our podcast software tried to kill us but luckily we injected it with a special parasite that lets it drive motorcycles and still upload podcasts! This week our hosts discuss 2012's Resident Evil Retribution written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring lots of old friends who might have to die to pay the gamer tax on the new friends. Franchise talk gets super interesting as we hurtle towards The Final Chapter and we encounter our first "intended to be shot back-to-back with the next installment" - a mainstay of the franchise ecosystem. Plus: Proof that Alice can wear normal clothes! And a totally useless post-credits sequence. Other Topics This Week:
Meanwhile, the graveyard sweater has been holding a Superlative since Episode One, will anything topple it as Alice's Worst Outfit? And are our hosts even sure it's a sweater?
Show Notes: Kind of nutso that we utterly failed to make the connection that Li Bingbing is the lead actress in The Meg. With her actual human voice. Also MASSIVE SHOUTOUT this week to Acon Digital Restoration Suite which played a huge role in rescuing the audio sabotaged by Riversi- I mean, the Red Queen. | |||

SURPRISE SUNGLASSES ATTACK! It’s The Resident Evil Afterlife episode. We are so back! And so is Paul W.S. Anderson in the director’s chair. Milla Jovovich is also back. And back. And back as we go so far beyond doublin’ up the hotties. But who else is back (apart from Liz, Asa, and Jesse?) Join us as we discuss 2010’s fourth installment in the Resident Evil franchise and discover how you create the fourth installment of a trilogy that’s definitely going to have a Part Five. Topics of Note:

| Every Damn Frame of "Resident Evil Extinction" (2007) | 11 Aug 2026 | 01:47:23 | |
We're joining the convoy this week. Whose convoy? You know whose convoy! Accept no substitutes! Join us as we discuss every damn frame of Russel Mulchay's 2007 film Resident Evil Extinction, written by Milla Jovovich's now-husband Paul W.S. Anderson. We use the power of our minds not to manipulate firestorms but instead go deep on the concept of a trilogy versus a series, as well as the business of filmmaking in the early 00's and the business plans of the Umbrella Corporation. Notable topics:
PLUS: The Debut of Fashion Corner with Liz and the Boys SHOW NOTES Jesse is quite chagrined at the number of times he maligns Jefferson Airplane in both this and the next episode. The song is of course called "White Rabbit" and not "Go Ask Alice" and the Resident Evil Extinction cover is by Collide Oh! And you should subscribe to Liz's Stream On newsletter! | |||
| Every Damn Frame of "Resident Evil Apocalypse" (2004) | 04 Aug 2026 | 01:39:28 | |
We're are now definitely residents of the evil (even if we don’t know what that means.) Join as as we discuss every damn frame of 2004’s Resident Evil Apocalypse, directed by Alexander Witt and written by Milla Jovovich’s now-boyfriend Paul W. S. Anderson. Your Raccoon Squad of Liz, Jesse, and Asa can finally dig into the art and business of franchises because there are now two installments, but the biggest cliffhanger of the episode can only be answered if Snoop Dogg or a close associate cares to get in touch and reveal it!
Topic of Great Import This Episode
SHOW NOTES Carlos Oliviera looks like this in the Capcom game. Somehow 2 out of 3 of us got the hang of pronouncing “Jovovich” but Ms. Jovovich, we are truly sorry, we ALL seem to have fallen into the very stupid trap of now somehow mispronouncing “Milla.”

Other Show Notes We’re @everydamnframe on Instagram and @everydamnframe.bsky.social - come say hello! Link to the George Romero Resident Evil 2 Commercial Oh, and it appears Capcom named it Raccoon City on purpose to make it sound "more American." Ford Prefect approves. | |||
