BAYHEM REIGNS


we're seguing into post-apocalyptic movies for the second half of our ROTTEN APOCALYPSE series, beginning with two sleek dystopian chase thrillers starring a pair of beautiful white people on the run. first up, it's the return of Michael Bay with his oft-forgotten 2005 sci-fi bomb "The Island" starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson as a pair of clones on the run from an organ harvesting agency in the not-so-distant past/future of 2019. after that, we're heading to the year 2199 for the Andrew Niccol-helmed take on futuristic class warfare with "In Time" starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfreid.

film critic Logan Kenny joins us for the second half of the episode to recount how "In Time" radicalized him at 10 years old and turned him into a lifelong communist. so join us as we discuss radicalization by Niccol, Ewan McGregor joining the elite 3-timers club on the podcast, Justin Timberlake's limitations as an actor Michael Bay's insider knowledge of the organ black market, the inherent sliminess of Alex Pettifyer, and the 2000 romcom "Down to You" starring Freddie Prinze, Jr., Julia Stiles and Ashton Kutcher as "Jim Morrison".

you can find Logan on Twitter @logankenny1 and read his unexpected 5-star reviews on Letterboxd.
