Civil War (2024) - Useless or Useful Provocation? #124

Hello, Hello, Hello! In our latest episode, Sanjeet, Dhruv, and Hemant discuss Alex Garland's Civil War, which is now available to buy/rent on all OTT platforms. Using the film's increasingly divisive reception as a jumping point, we try to reason out its potential explanations; then, we center our main discussion on what we thought about the film itself. Listen to the full episode for a spoiler-filled discussion that praises Garland's late-70s/early-80s-style direction and character work. But, also debates the merits and demerits of posing such bleak questions without proposing any answers.
