Imagine a world where the state and capital have have attained so much power over our individual lives that every waking moment is surveilled and cataloged by an unthinking system, but we are only dimly aware of the problems at the edges because the burden of a meaningless life demands you find ways of floating through it all in a semi-narcotized state.
Sounds bleak, but it goes down smooth in rotoscoped animation! And it's occasionally pretty funny.
A good sign that you've got a good movie on your hands is that when we finished recording this episode we talked about the movie some more. We hope you enjoy this week's discussion of Richard Linklater's A Scanner Darkly, based on the novel by Philip K. Dick.
Join us next week for Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekov!
