The scariest part of 12 Monkeys is not the virus. It is the feeling that everything has already happened and you are just sprinting toward it anyway.

We recommend Terry Gilliam’s 1995 sci-fi thriller and then pull it apart scene by scene, starting with our shock at how “normal” 1996 Philadelphia looks like a pre-apocalypse. From there, we get into the performances that make the whole time travel puzzle work: Bruce Willis playing James Cole like a man whose brain is getting sandblasted by the timeline, Madeleine Stowe turning Dr. Catherine Railly from confident psychiatrist to reluctant believer, and Brad Pitt delivering an iconic, twitchy Jeffrey Goines who is hilarious, unsettling, and weirdly on-point about consumerism.

We would love to hear from you! Send us an email and maybe it will be read on the podcast! [email protected]
