20 years after the world’s last baby was born, revolutionary-turned-working stiff Theo Faron (Clive Owen) is content to coast until the end catches up to the world — until his former lover and the mother of his dead son Julian (Julianne Moore) wrangles him into a plan to escort expecting mother Kee (Clare-Hope Ashitey) to safety.
Remembered (and heavily cribbed) for its effective worldbuilding and the immediacy of its handheld long takes, Alfonso Cuarón’s post-apocalyptic tale feels purpose-built to reawaken dormant empathy. This podcast also features the last white man who hadn’t seen CHILDREN OF MEN until 2024.
