Ironically its Lost In Translation Month (not just the movie but the theme as well)

Today were talking about:

This week, we decipher Arrival (2016) — the slow-burn sci-fi movie where aliens come to Earth, and only one woman with a PhD and immaculate scarf energy can save the world… using sentence structure.

It’s got:
✅ Inky space squids
✅ Government types yelling about time
✅ Jeremy Renner pretending to understand science
✅ And a plot twist that’ll leave you emotionally curled up in a fetal position asking, “Wait... so when are we?”

Join us as we talk time loops, language lessons, and why you probably shouldn’t let the military handle your first contact moment.

🎧 Listen now. Before the heptapods ghost us.
