On Alex Garland’s new film, Civil War.
[Patreon Exclusive]
The boys discuss a film that seems designed to say something in the context of a US election year. But what? We ask:
What kind of film is this: a dystopian fantasy, a war movie, a road movie?
Why the focus on the media? Does the film celebrate or satirise journalists?
Does Garland’s dystopia tell us anything about the landscape of US politics today?
Why is political polarisation between liberals and populists seen in terms of civil war?
What would a civil war look like in geopolitical terms, along the lines Garland suggests?
What side would you choose?
