Station! and Mattroid discuss the film's technical side before William joins them for a lengthy discussion on the cultural merits of the movie and more. Head to the comments section for your take.
Station! leaves Mattroid and William to discuss Annihilation--she hadn't seen it yet--and the two get into a spoiler-heavy discussion of the film. A true hard sci-fi thriller, Mattroid and William agree on much, disagree on some, and leave most of it up you, the listener and viewer. What are your thoughts on the movie? Let us know in the comments.
