217 - Ex Machina

Apartments on Long Island that don’t exist, a compound with enough fiber optic cable to circle a moon, and a sweet dance break: we must be discussing Alex Garland’s directorial debut “Ex Machina”. Jen and Sarah from “Movies & Us” join us to discuss Garland and his view on masculinity, the stellar VFX and production design, and the incredible performances from Gleeson, Isaac, and OF COURSE Alicia Vikander. 5 perspectives on this very unique film lead to some very rousing (and at times Joey-roasting) moments.
