91: I'm Looking Through You

The End of the World with Michael and Stu

Is our genetic makeup our destiny, or is there someway we can overcome the code on which our bodies and minds are based? This is the question asked by this week's film, 1997's Gattaca, written and directed by Andrew Niccol. We get into the reality of the eugenics-obsessed world presented by this picture while pointing out some of the...other aspects of reality this single-minded focus on genetic destiny allows the inhabitants of this film to overlook.

We also discuss the recent Louvre robbery, thinking about the true meaning of "pricelessness." We then cover the "No Kings" protests.

This episode contains spoilers for Gattaca.
