  • Summary

  • In this episode the guys join the future Captain America, the former archangel Gabriel, the future Kim Ki-taek, the former Caligula, and the former Gene Kranz as they circumnavigate a frozen Earth in Bong Joon-Ho's 2013 Snowpiercer. They explore the mysteries of apex predators vs. reindeer, the merits of late- or post-capitalistic societies and meritocracies on a moving platform, the dangers of engineering's ability to (inadvertently) cause bigger problems than it solves, the late, lamented P.J. O'Rourke on El Salvador, cannibalism, the dangers of poor railway maintenance, the expectations of Anne McCaffrey's Pern series (if it ever came to the screen), science fiction poetry (Swedish and otherwise) and the late author Harry Martinson. Special thanks to Paul Zastrow for sound editing this episode. Final score: Science 78%, Fiction 83%, Film 95% Next up: the boys get arty and existential with 2018's Aniara.
