“Well, the cornerstone of civilization isn’t language, it’s podcasting.” Join us this week on the pod as we discuss Denis Villeneuve’s break out hit: ARRIVAL. Staring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner, this science fiction film follows a linguistics professor trying to understand an alien race and learn the purpose of their arrival before global tensions boil over. Selected by Cynthia Li, we talk about this film’s success in the science fiction genre, the newfound appreciation upon on rewatch, and the underlying social & political message that roots itself in today’s landscape. See how many times we get off topic in Episode 16 of the UW Film Club Podcast!
On this week’s episode: Cynthia Li, Louie Ghalib, and Greg Arietta.
