SO FREAKING INTENSE!! Civil War Full Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects With Writer / Director Alex Garland & A24 teaming up for "WARFARE," Greg & John give their Civil War Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Visit https://www.liquidiv.com & use Promo Code: REJECTS to get 20% off your first order. Join Greg Alba and John Humphrey as they dive into the politically charged, high-stakes world of A24’s 2024 thriller, Civil War. Written and directed by Alex Garland (28 Days Later, Ex Machina, Annihilation), this intense film thrusts viewers into a near-future America on the brink—where deep societal divisions, covert operatives, and explosive power struggles collide. Kirsten Dunst (Melancholia, The Power of the Dog, Bring it On) leads the ensemble as a beleaguered war photographer documenting the American dystopia of a not-too-distant future. Opposite her, Cailee Spaeny (Alien: Romulus, Guns Akimbo) provides a dose of heart & innocence as she attempts to follow in her hero's footsteps only to come face-to-face with the grim realities of wartime in America. Wagner Moura (Narcos, Elysium, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish) brings a wild, free-spirited energy amid the chaos as a determined if reckless Reuters journalist, & Stephen McKinley Henderson (Dune, Ladybird) rounds out the core cast as a seasoned New York Times reporter with a warm energy. Adding a unique edge to the narrative, Nick Offerman (The Last of Us, Parks and Recreation) appears as the President of what remains of the United States of America and Jesse Plemons (Breaking Bad, Killers of the Flower Moon) captivates in a singular & Incredibly tense sequence as a rogue soldier with a singular view of what constitutes a "real American.." Greg & John break down every electrifying moment—from tense, high-stakes meetings in war-torn settings to the adrenaline-charged standoff scenes that redefine the film’s narrative. Discover how Civil War masterfully blends action and political intrigue to question the very fabric of America as we know it in an increasingly insane & uncertain time...
