For this week’s episode, Nick is joined by social media inlfuencer, Jarod Majeika (aka @jarodzsz), to discuss Denis Villeneuve’s breakout film: Incendies. Director of Sicario, Prisoners, Arrival, and Blade Runner 2049, Villeneuve expertly weaves together a complex story of family, loss, suffering, and peace in this Oscar nominated film. Incendies tells the story of two twins who, after the death of their mother, must deliver two letters to their long lost brother and father, and along the way discover who their mom really was.

In this episode, they discuss the specific motifs and their purpose, what the main message of the film might be, if you are rooting for the mother, the idea that everyone has a past, if having children is inherently selfish, what the line is for a parent in raising a child without overstepping, and much, much more!
