589: "Insurance Doesn’t Cover Apocalypse" | 12 Monkeys (1995)


Listen Later

Strap in, slap on your tinfoil hat, and squint through the splinters of time, because we’re unraveling the brain-bending, plague-drenched, chrono-chaotic fever dream that is 12 Monkeys (1995). This ain't your grandma’s time travel movie—unless she’s into post-apocalyptic underground bunkers and Cassandra complexes.

Bruce Willis stumbles through time with a head full of nightmares, Madeleine Stowe plays psychiatrist turned fugitive, and Brad Pitt delivers a twitchy, anarchic tour de force. There’s a virus, some very persistent "monkeys," and a whole lot of mental whiplash. So hop in the time chair and join us—because in 12 Monkeys, reality is optional and the future’s already infected.
