On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are coming face to face with the reality that we may not be who we think we are. We’re talking about the 2013 film from Joseph Kosinski, Oblivion.
Has there ever been a prettier post-apocalyptic film than this one? We think not, and it’s surely one of the reasons why we chose it to kick off our month of Earth-themed films.
Oblivion is an interesting one, though. The visual dichotomy is stark and inescapable. You’ve got one pristine world living above the clouds and another grimy one living in underground bunkers. Multiple worlds, multiple lives.
These differences are reflected in the main character, Jack. I won’t spoil any plot points here (the audio of this episode will do that well enough), but I will say that there’s quite the surprise in store for you.
We hope you enjoy this ride with us!
