Summary

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, Daniel Howat & Cody Dericks to discuss not a new film (due to all of the theaters being closed) but a film from 2011 that eerily predicted exactly what it is we are going through today. Steven Soderbergh's pandemic thriller "Contagion," starring Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Laurence Fishburne, Marion Cotillard & Jude Law. For this review, we discuss the parallels to the coronavirus, the film's multiple characters, and storylines, the science and procedural elements plus its filmmaking. Join us and try not to get too paranoid. We hope you enjoy! Be healthy. Be safe out there and wash your hands! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
