Ep. 093 - Arrival

This week on the podcast, Michael, Red and Scott meet in the Nostromo lounge and discuss the steaming pile of trashy pseudo-scientific mayhem that is LUCY from director Luc Besson, Ted Chiang's absolutely gorgeous and heartbreaking short novella STORY OF YOUR LIFE vibrates with pure beauty, Scott finally rings the firehouse bell on Ron Howard's surprisingly gripping 1991 thriller BACKDRAFT, we pop out our eyeballs to the first trailer for VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS starring Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne, Michael gathers around the warm Netflix fireplace for the SHERLOCK Christmas special, and much, much more before our featured review of ARRIVAL from director Denis Villeneuve.
