Film Deep Dive: Annihilation (#4)

Erich and Joe sit down to discuss the recent film Annihilation. The first half is spoiler-free so that all listeners can enjoy it, and we give fair warning when we cross into spoiler territory. If you want to remain spoiler-free, watch the movie, and coming back to finish the episode is highly recommended!

Annihilation is a 2018 British-American science fiction horror film written and directed by Alex Garland, based on the 2014 novel of the same name by Jeff VanderMeer. It stars Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Tuva Novotny, and Óscar Isaac. The story follows a group of explorers who enter "The Shimmer," a mysterious quarantined zone of mutating plants and animals caused by an alien presence.
