Manage episode 519292951 series 3557306
Episode 21:
Cobain and Taylor dive into the first two episodes of the new Vince Gilligan sci-fi series, "Pluribus." Today the Cinema Social Club analyze the show's craft, from its specific visual storytelling (like that yellow jacket) to its complex sound design. They also do a deep character dive into the flawed protagonist, Carol, and debate whether the new hive mind society is a utopia or a nightmare. Finally, they land on a central theory that reframes the entire show: is the cost of free will worth paying?
