Step into the shadows with Don, Ken, and Jon as they unravel the twisted architecture of memory and identity in Dark City.
In this episode, the trio digs deep into the dark alleys of Alex Proyas’ mind-bending noir-sci-fi hybrid. They shine a flickering light on a city trapped in eternal night, where time is illusion and reality is rewritten by unseen hands. With nods to The Matrix and German Expressionism, the crew dissects the film’s fragmented narrative, haunting set design, and philosophical undercurrents.
From Kiefer Sutherland’s twitchy scientist to Rufus Sewell’s reluctant antihero, they break down the performances, ponder the ethics of memory manipulation, and question whether free will stands a chance in a world built on lies.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time visitor to Shell Beach, this conversation will have you questioning everything—especially what it means to be human.
