Ep. 245: What Is Netflix's 'Bird Box' Really About? w/ Geoff Keith & Ian Gulbransen

Thursday, January 3, 2019   If the ending of 'Bird Box' left you scratching your head, we're here to help! Because with so many questions left open for debate, there's a multitude of ways you can interpret the meaning & symbolism found in Netflix's most popular original film to date. Sandra Bullock says that 'Bird Box' depicts a new kind of "warrior mother" & while some viewers see a story about a woman overcoming severe depression (perhaps postpartum), we're left asking, "where are the monsters?" Could they be figurative (inner demons)? Will the blind really lead us into the future? Were the people who didn't commit suicide malicious or did they just want everyone to see how beautiful "it" all is? If that's the case, shouldn't they have been riding bicycles in short-sleeved white shirts with ties? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!?!
