September 08, 2022 Do We Recommend? Episode 2: “Men"
In this episode of Do We Recommend, we throw down in a debate about Alex Garland’s “Men,” the unique director’s surreal take on toxic masculinity-from a female perspective-that premiered earlier this year to both acclaim and criticism. Is it one of the year’s best films or a cryptic splatter of postmodern imagery? And most importantly, do we recommend you see it?

August 29, 2022 GATTACA…The Genetic Template for a Science-Fiction Sensation?
In 1997 acclaimed screenwriter Andrew Niccol made his directorial debut with "Gattaca," an elegant vision of a future where humans control their genetic makeup. A dystopian harbinger of the way we live now, it's been relegated to the zone of forgotten masterpieces only a few die hard film buffs remember. In this episode of Breaking the 180 we look at the ideas of "Gattaca," its special design and lasting influence on newer works like David Cronenberg's "Crimes of the Future."
