Soderbergh Ep. 41: Full Circle/Command Z (2023)

They say Soderbergh's prolific, listener, but did you realize he released TWO television shows in the same WEEK in 2023? OK, sure, one of them is more like a series of webisodes that add up to about 90 minutes. But a couple of them have Liev Schreiber! He's a real guy! We did our due diligence and watched both FULL CIRCLE, Sodey and Ed Solomon's hyperlink TRAFFIC-meets-HIGH AND LOW miniseries, and COMMAND Z, his weird self-hosted miniseries about preventing the apocalypse through incremental change. It's all pretty standard stuff for us: Guyanese diaspora gangs, the correct left position on nuclear energy, arguing about whether a joke is funny. Check it out!
