    Dec 14 2021
    First contact is one of the great tropes of science fiction. Encountering the radically different and unique can hold a mirror up to humanity, but it's not everyday that a movie about aliens teaches its human audience how to better communicate with each other. In this episode, we’re breaking down Denis Villeneuve’s film, ARRIVAL, to see how it uses a new twist on an old idea to tell an elegant and original story.
