The time has come again for us to talk about a weird, slow science fiction movie, so I reached out to my favorite guest for such films, Ben DeBono from The Sci-Fi Christian.
Thanks to Joe Smith for suggesting it, and to the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry for screening it during this year’s film festival.
Found this image on Reddit, comparing the last shot of Tarkovsky’s Solaris and Rembrandt’s “The Return of the Prodigal Son.” And I’m still pretty stoked to have picked up on this imagery. Huzzah for Survey of Art!

James and Seth are joined by Emmanuel Dubois to discuss Kurt Vonnegut’s 1969 novel Slaughterhouse-Five and the 1972 film adapted from it. Colin sat this one out as he didn’t have anything nice to say about either.
