Cube Zero (2004)
56:49 Share

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and William Thrasher discuss Cube Zero, a prequel that wraps up the Cube trilogy. Another group of fools is trapped in a deadly cube. This time around, we spend a large amount of time with cubicle workers Dodd (David Huband) and Eric (Zachary Bennett). Their day job is to monitor the cube's behavior for any redundancies. When too many things go sideways, the corporation sends in Jax (Michael Riley), a sadist under the best of circumstances. Can anyone survive the Cube unscathed?

A return to form after the cheap-looking Cube 2: Hypercube, Cube: Zero takes inspiration from the first film while injecting a healthy dose of corporate satire. Performances are less broad across the board, and the film's connection to the original becomes more clear as things go on. Better than one might suspect, Cube Zero is a fun entry in to end this science-fiction series on.

Mat founds the female jewel thief capers of Ocean's 8 to be amusing but a little too familiar at times. Thrasher enjoys Season 2 of The Toys That Made Us, especially the episode on Legos.
