It's literally impossible. But it's literally what we're covering this week on the show. Welcome to The Shimmer.

Joining us for some very sobering (and demented) meditations on Alex Garland's UFO thriller is returning guest, Jefferson White! He's no stranger to Garland's work, having appeared in the director's most recent film, CIVIL WAR. And we're thrilled to have him here to answer some of our weirdest questions about Garland and this mysterious film.

Next week, it's our penultimate film of the series, and a gigantic one at that–Jordan Peele's NOPE. Join the conversation on Eye of the Discord https://discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx.
