Hot Fuzz (2007) | Ep. 35 - Part 1

Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg watched a frankly absurd number of action films as research, and you can feel every one of them in the result. Luke, Westy, and Matt begin the story.

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Edgar Wright, the cast, and the second act — including Pegg's by-the-book supercop exiled to a sleepy village, Nick Frost's Danny, and the murders that aren't accidents.

The Neighbourhood Watch has secrets, and we're not telling yet. Part 2 blows it all open: crew, finale, reception, legacy. Out now.
