Economic Realities of Survival - Plur1bus (2025) Ep4-5

-
He Was My Heart - The Dog Stars (2012) Book Two
Wandering the countryside, eyes drawn to the earth, you can't remember ever being quite so alone. He's gone. He's never coming back. You left the quilt where you buried him, and a part of you wishes to never find your way to that pile of rocks because it means you can pretend he's out there...

-
Enemies of Art - On The Beach (1957) Part 2

-
It's a weapon! - The Book of Eli (2009)
The book itself you recall - the sentiment, the heft of it. And if you really concentrate, you can remember some of the words, but never complete sections. You wonder idly if there's a copy left in the wold now that it has emptied. You imagine probably in the basement of a church or tucked into…
more -
We only read this book once - The Road (2006) Part 3
Apocalypse and endings. Literature. Meaning. It all blows away on the sands of a dead shore. A counterspectacle of what was, alighting some part of how it came to be, yes, and some part of what it could have been. We are ruinous creatures, aren't we? This week: the end of Cormac McCarthy's...
-
Old Men and Petty Gods - The Road (2006) Part 2
Rain spoils against your back. You can feel the damp on your neck and inside your rotting shoes. The ropes binding your pack chafe, and you wonder, idly, if you were always meant for this. You think perhaps you were. That in some other heaven where things did not go wrong that you were the omen...
-
The “Perfect” Modern Novel - The Road (2006) Part 1
Fall literature spoils on the bloated wooden boards. You recognise the shape of names--fiction you once knew and loved--now reduced to damp, cloggy promises that threaten your balance. The world has emptied out, yet these recollections stick to the sky, unbidden. This week the gang cracks into...

HOW DARE YOU - Silent Night (2021)
You iron the shirt one more time, just in case. Your partner watches you from the corner of their eye, pretending to be distracted by the news. You've had it on for a week straight now, muted with the subtitles on. Barely able to leave the couch save for the essentials. You keep waiting for the...
-
No Star Burns Forever - Sea of Tranquility (2022) Part 2
The steady trickle of the river reminds you of home, but as you blink, you find yourself not on the abandoned streets of Night City, rather, the glittering white pillars and spires of Colony One surround you. There can be such oppression in order, can't there? This week the cast analyses Emily St...
-
No Good Chickens - Sea of Tranquility (2022) Part 1
Caiette sleeps beyond the treeline. Here in the forest you are truly alone. Your loafers perch on the lip where the sand meets the sucking mud. Here, so far from the world, there may as well not be a world at all. The horizon and the trees are the only real thing. This week the team try to peel...
-
The Counterlife - The Glass Hotel (2020) Part 2

David, Pat and @DarthdYT close out their discussion of Emily St John Mandel's sleep hit and try to figure out what...
-
Kingdom of Money - The Glass Hotel (2020) Part 1
The novel prickles in your grasp. The sweat on your fingertips make turning the pages easier, but the sense of an axe about to fall remains. You glance up from the words: the gardener is attending the rhododendrons by the edge of the terrace, and once again you feel a flutter of anticipation....
-
You Wasted It - The Last of Us Season 2 (2023) Ep6-7
Rain patterns across the bitumen. Thunder peels over the horizon, white-blue flashes followed by calamity that vibrates the walls themselves. The smell of fresh rain on soil fills the empty city as the roads become spillways and the sewers overflow. This week David and Darth are joined by…
more -
Montages of Grief - The Last of Us Season 2 (2023) Ep3-5
A steep wind blows across the golden field of swaying grass. Sunsets, painful in auburn beauty that only reminds you of what has gone from the wold. You think again of violence. That freedom born from the collapse: violence, and vengeance. This week David, Alex and @DarthdYT are backed up by...
-
Terrified of You - The Last of Us Season 2 (2023) Ep1-2

-
An Impossible Task - Station Eleven (2021) Ep9-10
You stare, dumbfounded, as a familiar silhouette crests the horizon. It can't be, can it? They left you so long ago. Yet they are walking toward you, smiling. You are only aware of your tears as you pull them close as you can, as if in hugging you might prevent them from leaving again. The…
more -
We're The Monsters - Station Eleven (2021) Ep7-8
You stand within the empty, sterile corridor. You don't so much hear the voices of what came before as you feel the ghosts within the structure. Architectural memory of the workers who clocked in. The travelers who moaned while waiting for their flight. The weight of all of that prehistory lurks…
more -
The Sweetness of Life - Station Eleven (2021) Ep5-6
You stare through the glass at the silent world. The transparent barrier forever sealed, and as you look out, death watches back, invisible, waiting. David and Patrick are joined by @DarthdYT to follow Severn City through the end of the world and then meeting up with the Undersea. Glossary:...
-
The Wrong Life - Station Eleven (2021) Ep3-4
Wind ripples through the grass, the blades pale and grey in the starlight, and the shifting trees and blank horizon remind you of that feeling, serenity, the feeling of cosmic logic with your first love, a lifetime ago, before the world ended. David and Patrick are joined by @DarthdYT to dive...
-
I Remember Damage - Station Eleven (2021) Ep1-2
A stale wind blows in from over the bay, warm and foreboding, and you feel, more than know, that danger rides on the horizon, threatening the small life you've built after the collapse. Starting our coverage of Patrick Somerville's Station Eleven (2021, David and Patrick are joined by @DarthdYT...
-
The Original Apocalypse Film - The World, The Flesh and The Devil (1959)
