S2E10: THE TREE OF LIFE

Listen Later

The final episode of season 2 attempts to grapple

with Terrence Malick's 2011 THE TREE OF LIFE, a wildly
ambitious epic concerning matters both micro and macro, from
small-town family life in midcentury Texas to nothing less
than the birth and death of the universe. Starring Brad Pitt,
Sean Penn, Jessica Chastain with behind-the-camera contributions
from Douglas Trumbull and Emmanuel Lubezki, your hosts aren't
entirely sure what it all means, but it sure is fascinating to
think and talk about. In this episode: the state of grace vs.
the state of nature; comparisons to 2001: A Space
Odyssey; a curious advisory before the film begins;
"shibboleth nicknames"; and what's up with those
dinosaurs, anyway? We hope you enjoyed season 2 as much as we did,
and we'll return in July!
