Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast ventures into the shimmer with a look at Alex Garland's sci-fi thriller, Annihilation! Joining Ian on this expedition are David Fowlie of Keeping it Reel and David Canfield of ScreenAnarchy and Magill's Cinema Annual.
This visually absorbing film impressed the guys, but one of them was left cold by the story--which centers on a team of scientists exploring an alien gateway that threatens to consume our world. This thorough and sometimes fiery chat covers everything from politics to religion to the ending of John Carpenter's The Thing.
Also, Ian talks a bit about Kino Lorber's recent home video release of Gabe Klinger's Porto; and reminds listeners about this weekend's screenings of Harriet Gordon Getzels and Peter Getzels' film, Zuzana: Music is Life, playing at various Chicagoland theatres as part of the JCC Chicago Film Festival.
Episode 301 listens to the flower people!
