About this episode

The episode discusses the film Eddington and its relevance to contemporary societal issues.

Eddington is the perfect film for our times. Everyone’s terrified, everyone wants the glory of being the one who saves the world, and nobody is listening to anyone else. That’s America in a nutshell: Everyone arguing about who gets to decide where to aim the fire hose while the house burns down.
