About this listen
Ben and Rob take the test this week with The Assessment (2024), a stark, unsettling sci-fi drama that might just be the strongest directorial debut we’ve seen in years. With Elizabeth Olsen delivering what could be one of the best performances of the year, The Assessment throws us into a chilling future where personal worth is measured, judged, and quantified by the state—and failing the test means more than just bad news.
The lads ask: is The Assessment a late-stage capitalism nightmare, a meditation on motherhood, or just the most anxiety-inducing job interview ever put on film? They also dig into the real-life parallels that first-time director Fleur Fortune was navigating during production, and of course—what the hell does that blue pole mean?
