New year, new voice! That’s right, Optimists; on this episode Megan and Seth welcome their first guest! Friend and writer Riley Gerberick is here to join our discussion about Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1979 Soviet Sci Fi film Stalker. The film follows a guide leading two men through a dangerous zone to a room (of possible alien nature) that will supposedly grant them their deepest desire. Despite the simple plot the film raises several complicated philosophical questions. There’s a lot to talk about with this one so we’re splitting this up into two episodes, part 2 will be coming soon.
