In this episode, Matt and Tug crash land on the movie, "District 9," exploring its allegory for apartheid, character development, and the unique narrative style of found footage. They discuss Neil Blomkamp's background and the film's production challenges, as well as its unexpected success and cultural commentary on humanity's treatment of those considered to be "other." They discuss the significance of the alien fluid (Insert collective eyeroll here), the transformation of the protagonist Vickus, and the moral implications of the actions taken by the MNU. The conversation also touches on the film's commentary on media manipulation, body horror, and other societal issues, drawing parallels to real-world events. So grab the alien fluid, take a sip and let's see what happens.
