Ep-29 Ink to Film: Annihilation (2018 film) ft. Remy Nakamura

Writer Remy Nakamura joins Luke and James to discuss Annihilation, the 2018 mind-blowing film by Alex Garland starring Natalie Portman and Oscar Isaac based on the novel by Jeff Vandermeer. Whether you're wondering if the movie is worth checking out or trying to wrap your head around what you just saw, this is the episode you've been looking for! We begin with only general discussion about the movie and its production, including our theater-experience and some light comparisons to the novel.   SPOILERS BEGIN: 23:32   Spoiler topics include: an in-depth talk about the mind-blowing 3rd act, the nature of the shimmer and what it contains, the surprising and affecting body-horror, the unsettling bear, what might've been different if the expedition was all male instead of female, and what about our own humanity that could make us susceptible to the violence of Area X.   Remy Nakamura Twitter Facebook Instagram [email protected] Ink to Film Website Audible Affiliate Link—Get a free audio book!
