Ep-27 Ink to Film: Annihilation (2014 novel) part one

This week the guys delve into Jeff Vandermeer’s incredible weird
sci-fi novel, “Annihilation,” by discussing parts 1, 2, and
ending with part 3. They kick things off with a SPOILER-FREE
section covering some background about the author and their
general thoughts about the novel so far.

SPOILER-FREE section ends: 15:11


Spoiler topics include: The language and style of the novel, the
reliability of the narrator, what they think the Crawler could
be, the shadiness of the government running these expeditions,
the nature of the crew’s little warning light, the fear of the
unknown, the role hypnotism plays in the novel, the big twist at
the end of section 3, and a discussion on literary vs. genre
writing and where this novel might fit into that debate.

Join them again next week when they finish out the novel, and the
week after for their reactions to the new film by Alex Garland
featuring Natalie Portman and Oscar Isaac.
