On today's show, worlds have collided and humankind is doomed. It's the long-awaited Wrong Reel/Flixwise collaberation! James Hancock and Mikhail Karadimov, two-thirds of our favorite east coast podcasting team, are on hand to talk about the 29th Greatest Movie of All Time: Andrei Tarkovsky's STALKER aka The Jean Grey Origin Story.
And, speaking of X-Men, we will also be discussing the recent proliferation of Apocalyptic entertainment. X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST is just one of many contemporary examples of the surging post-civilization genre. The panel attempts to explain the appeal of watching humanity cast-off its societal restraints, and offers a few reasons why these End-of-the-World myths have become so prevalent in our current media landscape.
