    War, Fear, and a Dying World: The Terrifying Relevance of Children of Men
    2025/05/14

    In this week’s episode, we dive into a very different — but no less brutal — vision of dystopia. Children of Men imagines a future where no child has been born in over 18 years, and humanity faces extinction. As society collapses into chaos, Britain clings to authoritarian control, becoming one of the last functioning nations under totalitarian rule.

    2025/04/30
    In this week's episode, we venture into a horrifying alternate history where the Nazis have won World War II and conquered not only the world but also outer space. However, the resistance has a secret weapon up its sleeve: B.J. Blazkowicz! He is a one-man army determined to end the Nazis' rule once and for all. While the series is historically known for its over-the-top, action-packed, run-and-gun shooter style, it also showcases a layered story with in-depth characters and a detailed setting. Part 1 will focus on the history of the series and The New Order. Stay tuned for Part 2!

    There Will Come Soft Rains: Bradbury's Haunting Vision of a World Without Us
    2025/04/23

    In this week's episode, we dive into one of Ray Bradbury's iconic dystopian stories. Set in 2026, after a nuclear catastrophe, all that remains is a self-operating house. The house continues its programmed routine, unaware of the world around it. Written in 1950, Bradbury delivers a powerful warning about the dangers of over-reliance on technology and our potential to destroy ourselves through its misuse.

    In this week's episode, we venture into Neo-Tokyo, a cyberpunk city reborn from the ashes of near annihilation. On the surface, it appears to be a prosperous metropolis, but beneath the bright lights lies a morally corrupt society.

    In this week's episode we discuss The Purge film series. On the surface it may seem like your typical action thriller with cheesy one-liners and far too many deus ex machina moments, but at the core, it showcases a dystopian American society not far from our current state.
