310, "Children of Men - This Stork Is Quite Tasty, Isn't It?"
from Gobbledygeek
Anti-immigrant sentiment. Militarized police. Fascist leadership. A Britain with closed borders. No, this isn't our world circa 2017; it's the 2027 of Alfonso Cuarón's 2006 sci-fi masterpiece Children of Men. A world rocked by mass infertility and faced with humanity's impending extinction has led down a path of violent extremism, one you and I may be traveling as we speak. Paul and Arlo discuss the film's terrifying relevance, its rightful ascendance to modern classic status, those insane tracking shots, and, you know, white male privilege. Plus, Paul promised Arlo he would watch Park Chan-wook's The Handmaiden, and by god that's a promise he kept. Next: three years after their self-titled debut, the Guardians of the Galaxy are about to drop Vol. 2, and you're invited to the listening party.
