Our Research Mission Is Still Not What It Seems (feat. Ciara Wardlow) | Episode 87

Are you a top scientist gearing up to investigate an unexplainable phenomenon at a great distance from home? We warned you in one of our very early episodes to be careful. The rule still applies as Chance and Noah dissect Alex Garland’s sophomore film "Annihilation," Netflix’s Super Bowl Hail Mary “The Cloverfield Paradox,” and Paul W.S. Anderson’s cult classic “Event Horizon” in this deep dive into sci-fi horror.

Aided by the insights of film critic and biology student Ciara Wardlow, the findings of Be Reel’s research mission feature a bizarre Sam Neill performance, a few surprising thoughts on transgenic mutation, and someone's attempt to categorize all sci-fi films as “Cloverfield” movies. Regardless of who they were going in, Chance and Noah come out of this episode forever changed!
