Hey everybody welcome to this week's bald movie we are going over a

a strangely topical film for a movie that came out almost a decade ago 2011's

contagion directed by Stephen Soderberg written by Scott Z Burns you're

probably familiar with a lot of Stephen Soderberg's work sex lies and video tape

out of sight Aaron Brockovich traffic oceans 11 magic mic high-flying bird the traffic, Oceans 11, Magic Mike, High Flying Bird, the 2019 basketball film shot entirely on an iPhone,

Scott Z Burns, I wasn't as familiar with but I knew his works born identity the informant

Which is a collaboration between Matt or Matt Damon himself and Stephen Soderberg the report which is a movie I want to see last year about the torture report that came out after 9-11,

and he's also writing No Time to Die, the upcoming Bond Films. That's pretty cool. And this movie stars so many people. You got Marion

I can't do Briany, is Braney, Braney Cranston and Jennifer Elly.

I, what did you think of this film? Just as a, you I think before,

unlike me had seen this movie before all this shit come out. What did you think of it then? What

do you think of it now? I'm interested in that. I liked it both times around. I think this

time I was watching with a little extra spice given the circumstances but yeah I mean it's it's a really well crafted film and the thing that hooked me the first time around was sort of the real in-depth look at, you know, how this thing spreads, how you can get your kind of arms around it, and sort of contain this thing or deal with this thing.

And it's something that not a lot of other movies. this thing or deal with this thing.

And it's something that not a lot of other movies

have done in this detail.
