The incomparable number 449, March 2019.

Welcome back everybody to The Incomparable.

I'm your host, Jason Snell, and in this episode we were talking about a science fiction film

that I think is maybe one of the best science fiction films of this decade. It is

2011's Source Code, directed by Duncan Jones, written by Ben Ripley, starring Jake Jelenhall,

and here in various pods with me, we're podcasters, therefore we are in pods.

Oh, very good. Are we dead or alive?

Remains to be seen. Let's talk to these wonderful people. Anthony Johnston is here. Hello.

Hello, Jason. This is beleaguered castle. That's right. We're all in the beleaguered castle now.

That is the truth. Dan Moran is also here. Hi, Dan. Hi, Jason. Out here, the clock's only moving one direction.

Excellent. I'm going to have more than eight minutes to talk to Erica and sign. Hi.

It is really, really cold here. That's what I hear. That's what I hear.

To climb in one of those warm pods. Oh, no, now it's cold in the pod. No. It's cold in the pod. I have to,

I have to do some rewiring. Please introduce the next person while I'm busy. Yeah, that's good.

That's good. And here is our controller. He's, uh, he occasionally turns the cameras to look at us and bark things out. It's James Thompson. Hello. I am the one in only. There's nobody I'd rather be.

All right.

So source code, I guess we should talk about it briefly without blowing the spoiler horn.

First, I would like to say you should just go, you should see it before you hear us talk any more about it, even before the spoiler horn.

Because I can tell you a little bit more that might be enticing, but I would like to say, if you would like to trust me, take me at

my word, this is a good movie. You should just watch it. Don't even watch the trailer.

No. My kids hadn't seen it and we watched it. And I had, I bought it on iTunes and I played it before they came into the room so that they couldn't even see the description of what the movie was about.

Nice.
