The Kicking the Seat Podcast crosses the quarter-thousand mark with a sobering look at three of summer's great cinematic apocalypses! Keeping it Reel's David Fowlie joins Ian to discuss some recent films about war: In This Corner of the World, War for the Planet of the Apes, and the 3D re-release of 1991's Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
What do these very different visions of mankind's obsession with self-destruction say about the creators and audiences who shaped them? Are these warnings to be taken seriously, or artistic yet disposable entertainments?
If you missed these movies amidst the season's transforming robots and wonderful women, please seek them out and enjoy this heavy but hopeful conversation.
Episode 250 is taking up arms...to give out free hugs.
