Gattaca feat. Emma Berquist
Added 2021-12-01 17:34:14 +0000 UTCWriter Emma Berquist joins us to explore the eugenic dystopia of Andrew Niccol's 'Gattaca', a film that the smart folks at NASA once placed at the very top of a list of the most plausible realities depicted in sci-fi movies.
We discuss the film's breathtaking retrofuturist production design, its disregard for societal critique in favor of an admittedly effective story about the triumph of individual will, and the persistence of capitalist hierarchies within our imagined futures.
