Annihilation

We're kicking off the spooky season with a look at the romance of Alex Garland's 2018 sci-fi horror quest Annihilation! Join in as we discuss Natalie Portman's underrated performance, the movies differences with Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy, the various controversies that came up on the film's release, and, of course, that freaky bear. Plus: Why didn't the movie shoot in the US? Why did the Saturns fail to celebrate it? How did Scott Rudin (of all people?) save the movie? And, most importantly, is Paramount okay? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe! Next week: Psycho (1960)
