2011-11-02-ATB_410_v01.jpgYou gotta love an alien invasion film where the aliens make the serious mistake of trying to invade some council estates (read, "projects") in London and discover that the street-tough kids there are not going to yield the territory without racking up a body count. That's the idea behind Attack the Block, Joe Cornish's directorial debut that was exec produced by Shaun of the Dead's Edgar Wright. It's neatly pulled off with a surprising bit of depth, and worth checking out on its homevid release.

So a bunch of us were gathered in a room in New York Comic Con's press warren, and got to throw questions indiscriminately (but incisively) at Joe. I managed to capture the session for this podcast.
