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.
