Shownotes

Liam Neeson has spent the last decade dancing between genres like a seasoned circus performer, trading his gravitas‑laden dramatic roots for the gleeful chaos of action mayhem. One moment he’s growling threats into a flip phone, the next he’s wrestling wolves or popping up in a spoof like The Naked Gun. By 2026, he’s added yet another feather to his already overstuffed cap: horror‑comedy. In Cold Storage, Neeson strides into the fray as if he’s been waiting his whole life to battle a government‑bred fungus with a bad attitude.

According to the tale spun on IMDb, a top‑secret lab misplaces a highly dangerous fungus—because of course it does—and suddenly a retired bioterrorism agent is yanked back into service. He teams up with two plucky young employees of a storage facility to face an enemy that can’t be seen, reasoned with, or politely asked to stay in its containment chamber. It’s part zombie romp, part disaster spectacle, and entirely the sort of bureaucratic blunder that makes you wonder who keeps approving these fictional government budgets.

Guided by director Jonny Campbell and penned by screenwriter‑producer David Koepp, the film pairs Neeson with Joe Keery of Stranger Things fame and Georgina Campbell from Barbarian, plus a delightful appearance by Vanessa Redgrave. Released in just over a thousand theaters—including IMAX, for those who prefer their fungal horrors larger than life—the movie crept into cinemas appropriately on Friday the Thirteenth, February 2026, for a limited run. Now your cohosts dive into this quirky creature feature to share their thoughts, their laughs, and perhaps their newfound fear of refrigerated storage units.
