Contagion or: How I Learned How Diseases Spread
This week's special extended episode is dedicated to the memory of the +2.65M people who have suffered and died worldwide as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Though this is a comedy podcast, today we keep those people in mind as we break down the film, and we encourage you to take a moment and reflect on that loss of life, as it is a world event too tragic and immense to forget.
TRIGGER WARNING for art imitating life in this week's episode covering the pandemic movie, Contagion (2011). If you would like to skip the discussion of the movie, and just hear our final thoughts on this horrible time we are experiencing together, you can jump to the time code at 1:27:47 to hear them.
Not long after the real-world SARS pandemic, a fictional, novel virus appears in China and begins to overwhelm the world's population at an alarming rate. The film follows the journeys of scientists, government officials, journalists, and citizens as they attempt to cope with the devastation the virus brings, and breaks down the unbelievable task of studying, containing, and developing a cure.
