Arrival (2016) vs. Landscape With Invisible Hand (2023)
The category for today's Battle Episode is "Alien Invasions". It's time to explore a robust genre of 2000's film. We had the tough task of choosing two films to go head to for a chance of placing a spot on the Greatest Films 21st Century List. First up is 2016's "Arrival" a sweeping epic on the linguistic barriers of first contact. Then it's "Landscape with Invisible Hand" from 2023. This pick brought us a family comedy with a heavy dose of social commentary the likes of which he hadn't quite seen before. Tune in and make sure you don't get beamed up before the end of the episode. If you enjoy the show give us a 5 star rating and a review. Thanks for listening!
