WtPB 43 - 12 Monkeys and Dark City

This episode creator and star of the webseries Dead Drift, Ken Carlson joins Sarah and Dylan to talk about two amazing sci-fi films from the 90s. 12 Monkeys and Dark city. We also covered a multitude of other subjects, as we do around here.


We started with 12 Monkeys. A mind bending time travel story directed by the great and often underrated Terry Gilliam. The movie features Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt in roles that are to this day exceptional in their respective careers. The basic plot revolves around Willis' attempts to track down the origins of a plague that decimated humanity, leaving roughly 1% of the population alive.

Dark City is arguably Alex Proyas' best film, while simultaneously being his least known major motion picture. The movie follows Rufus Sewell as John Murdock, as he uncovers the true nature of the world around him. A dark sci-fi noir film that explores what it means to be human.
