Civil War (2024) and The Second Civil War (1997), with William Ramsey and Sean McCann
Added 2024-07-09 20:52:44 +0000 UTCWe are joined by both William Ramsey and Sean McCann for a discussion that follows up on the analysis we did with them earlier this year on Leave the World Behind. Unpacking the surprisingly dull recent Alex Garland film Civil War, we also spend time talking about the much more lively film The Second Civil War, a 1997 made for TV movie directed by Joe Dante. The Second Civil War offers a satirical depiction of a heavily diversified America that is unable to cope with the complexities of globalization and is on the brink of violent conflict. We analyze the political ethos driving each film, considering their approaches to the ideal of journalistic neutrality, and discussing the extent to which Garland's movie offers a pretense of being non-ideological. These films also give us the chance to offer our interpretations of recent American political developments and our thoughts about whether the events of such movies may represent our genuine future.

One of the guest needs to learn to not talk over the host.
