On Alex Garland’s new film, Civil War. [Patreon Exclusive] The boys discuss a film that seems designed to say something in the context of a US election year. But what? We ask:

  • Why the focus on the media? Does the film celebrate or satirise journalists?

  • Does Garland’s dystopia tell us anything about the landscape of US politics today?

  • Why is political polarisation between liberals and populists seen in terms of civil war?

  • What would a civil war look like in geopolitical terms, along the lines Garland suggests?

  • What side would you choose?
