Editor - Greg O'Bryant MR. AND MRS. SMITH editor, Greg O'Bryant was not just joining the biggest project of his career with this new Amazon series, but he would also be the "new guy" on a well-oiled machine of storytellers from the tv series, ATLANTA.  Taking the chance really paid off for Greg.  Not only did he get to try his hand at action, but he got to have his name in the credits twice (Greg also co-produced)! Turning the premise of the 2005 feature film inside out, here John and Jane are two strangers-turned-partners who carry out their spy-like duties under the cover of being married software engineers.  Taking their orders from an unseen task master they call "HiHi", the two learn the ropes of being "Smiths" while learning to love, and somewhat trust, one another. GREG O'BRYANT Prior to working on MR. AND MRS. SMITH, Greg first began his partnership with writer/director Scott Z. Burns on the latter's political drama, THE REPORT (2019).  Greg would also edit an episode of the series, THE LOUDEST VOICE (2019) that Burns helmed.  Most recently, the two collaborated on the Apple TV+ series, EXTRAPOLATIONS (2023).  In addition to his work with Scott Z. Burns, Greg is also a frequent collaborator with show runner, Nick Antosca.  Their partnership first began on CHANNEL ZERO, a SyFy Channel anthology series based on the popular Internet "Creepypastas" Candle Cove, The No-End House and Butcher's Block.  Subsequent projects with Antosca would include Hulu's original series, THE ACT, as well as the Netflix series, BRAND NEW CHERRY FLAVOR.  Greg also edited the tv series, THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE, adapted from the film by Steven Soderbergh.

SMITH editor, Greg O'Bryant, we talk about: Using score as your "tonal buoy" Turning the tables on the 2005 film of the same name Making a relationship sandwich How film is a director's medium where tv is a writer's medium Where a grumpy p.a. can influence the work The Credits Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs View the "augmented reality" version of The Rough Cut at Frame.IO Check out the free trial of Media Composer | Ultimate Hear Greg discuss his work on the Netflix series, BRAND NEW CHERRY FLAVOR Listen to Greg detail his experience cutting the Apple TV+ series, EXTRAPOLATIONS Subscribe to The Rough Cut podcast and never miss an episode Visit The Rough Cut on YouTube

This week, Jensen Davis takes us inside her shocking story about an evangelical-based parenting program that has been operating for 40 years and teaches parents that babies are morally corrupt and must be broken of their waywardness. Then, speaking of incredible stories, acclaimed screenwriter Scott Z. Burns tells us just what A.I. gets wrong about creativity. And finally, John Mauceri has the tale of the unforgettable night Jacqueline Kennedy went to the opera and watched the inamorata of her future husband give an electrifying performance.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the show, we add another notch to our Soderbergh belt as we talk The Laundromat. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us try to find something to latch onto in this string of vignettes, make fun of Mossack and Fonseca, stipulate that the movie would have been better if Meryl Streep played all the roles and that Soderbergh and Scott Z. Burns maybe just couldn't decide if they wanted to make a serious investigative thriller or a me-too The Big Short. Tune in and enjoy!

This episode looks at two films from the “War on Terrorism”: Zero Dark Thirty (2012), directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written Mark Boal; and The Report (2019), written and directed by Scott Z. Burns. Zero Dark Thirty, which stars Jessica Chastain as a CIA agent, depicts the nearly decade-long hunt for Osama bin Laden. The Report, which stars Adam Driver, examines the investigation by the Senate Intelligence Committee, led by Senator Dianne Feinstein, into the CIA's detention and interrogation program. The films are often in dialogue with each other, and offer competing accounts of the U.S. government's embrace of torture after 9/11.Timestamps:0:00     Introduction3:00     How the films offer dueling accounts of the post-9/11 era5:59     Zero Dark Thirty's problematic depiction of torture9:53     The real-life model for Zero Dark Thirty's Maya (Jessica Chastain)? 13:10   The CIA's Bin Laden unit15:49   The “forever war” 21:22   Legacies of the “war on terror” 23:24   The Senate Select Intelligence Committee investigation 26:06   Lawyers and the CIA torture program33:20   The 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force35:11   SERE Program: Psychologists James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen 37:15   Abu Zubaydah: The first prisoner in the CIA torture program 42:17   The Report and the problem of asking “Did torture work”?48:15   The myth of American exceptionalismFurther Reading:Cole, David, “Taking Responsibility for Torture,” New Yorker (Dec. 9, 2014), https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/taking-responsibility-torture Coll, Steve, “'Disturbing' and ‘Misleading': Judging Zero Dark Thirty's claims to journalism,” New York Review of Books (Feb. 7, 2013), nybooks.com/articles/2013/02/07/disturbing-misleading-zero-dark-thirty/ Greenberg, Karen, “How Zero Dark Thirty Brought Back the Bush Administration,” TomDispatch (Jan. 10, 2013),  https://tomdispatch.com/karen-greenberg-how-zero-dark-thirty-brought-back-the-bush-administration/Mayer, Jane, “Zero Conscience in ‘Zero Dark Thirty',” New Yorker https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/zero-conscience-in-zero-dark-thirty “Report of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Committee Study of the CIA's Detention and Interrogation Program (Executive Summary) (Dec. 2014), https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/publications/CRPT-113srpt288.pdfSeibold, Witney, “The Zero Dark Thirty Controversy: Explained,” Slashfilm, (updated Nov. 28, 2021), https://www.slashfilm.com/671508/the-zero-dark-thirty-controversy-explained/Wright, Lawrence, The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 (Knopf, 2007)      Law on Film is created and produced by Jonathan Hafetz.

Editor - Greg O'Bryant EXTRAPOLATIONS editor, Greg O'Bryant has once again teamed up with writer/director Scott Z. Burns, this time to take on the challenge of creating an entertaining, educational and hopefully motivational series about the future effects of climate change.  Delivered as an anthology series, one of the more daunting tasks for the team would be managing the often dramatic shifts in tone, as well as the delicate balance between drama and, on occasion, comedy. Taking place in the not-too-distant future, but over the span of thirty-three years, EXTRAPOLATIONS shows how the effects of climate change have become embedded into people's everyday lives; through eight interwoven stories that explore the intimate, life-changing choices that must be made when the planet is changing faster than the population. GREG O'BRYANT Greg first began his partnership with Scott Z. Burns on the latter's political drama, THE REPORT (2019).  Greg would also edit an episode of the series, THE LOUDEST VOICE (2019) that Burns helmed.  In addition to his work with Scott Z. Burns, Greg is also a frequent collaborator with show runner, Nick Antosca.  Their partnership first began on CHANNEL ZERO, a SyFy Channel anthology series based on the popular Internet "Creepypastas" Candle Cove, The No-End House and Butcher's Block.  Subsequent projects with Antosca would include Hulu's original series, THE ACT, as well as the Netflix series, BRAND NEW CHERRY FLAVOR.  Greg also edited the tv series, THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE, adapted from the film by Steven Soderbergh...who directed CONTAGION...written by Scott Z.

Hollywood has been slow to include climate in its stories. Executives fear it won't sell – that it's too overwhelming or depressing. Apple TV+ has just released the series Extrapolations, which revolves entirely around the climate crisis. But it's an outlier. We ask writer, producer and director Scott Z. Burns – who also worked on the films Contagion and Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth – and Anna Jane Joyner of the climate story consultancy Good Energy about why climate doesn't play a more prominent role in scripted entertainment.  Guests: Scott Z.

The climate crisis is one of the biggest stories of our time. And Hollywood is one of the most powerful storytellers in the world. Yet our film and TV screens aren't reflecting the reality of climate change.Until now.Enter Extrapolations, an eight-episode series that recently premiered on Apple TV+. Written by Scott Z. Burns - whose 2011 film Contagion became eerily real during the pandemic - the ambitious show explores how climate change could affect every aspect of our lives, from religion to politics to business and our social lives, over more than 30 years.Environmental challenges pose unique challenges to screenwriters. Global warming is a long-term, high-stakes process - there are existential stakes, and the reality is that it's more often there is no single catastrophic event for characters to react to so much as a series of them.The USC Norman Lear Center, in collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies partners Rare and Good Energy, will measure the impact of Extrapolations in the first quantitative study of a climate storyline in nearly two decades.On this episode, Katherine Oliver sits down with Scott Z. Burns, the showrunner, director, writer and executive producer of Extrapolations, and Anna Jane Joyner, the founder & director of Good Energy, a nonprofit consulting firm that works with screenwriters like Scott to portray the climate crisis in film & tv scripts in entertaining and artful ways. They discuss keeping viewers engaged while telling stories about climate change, and what they hope viewers take away from Extrapolations. 

What would a future look like where climate change has become a truly unavoidable part of all of our daily lives? This is one of the questions the new Apple TV+ show Extrapolations tries to answer. Series creator Scott Z. Burns was a producer of the 2006 documentary An Inconvenient Truth and the writer behind the eerily prescient 2011 film Contagion, about a global pandemic. Burns, along with one of the stars of the series, Sienna Miller, spoke with Apple News In Conversation host Shumita Basu about the making of Extrapolations — and how dystopian portrayals of the future can mobilize and motivate people to take serious action. This is a preview of that converstion.

This week on The Treatment, Elvis welcomes actor and screenwriter Owen Wilson, who's starring in the comedy “Paint,” about a laconic public television host with a painting program. Next, writer Scott Z. Burns joins to talk about his ambitious and star-studded AppleTV+ series “Extrapolations,” about the wide-ranging effects of climate change. And for The Treat, writer Abraham Josephine Riesman talks about the dystopian alternative future in her favorite Philip K. Dick novel.

Last month Apple TV+ launched a new show called Extrapolations, which portrays a variety of scenarios that could play out in the coming decades if we fail to address climate change. In this special two-part episode, you'll hear first from three people involved in making the show: Scott Z. Burns, the creator and executive producer of Extrapolations; Dorothy Fortenberry, another of the show's executive producers; and Matthew Rhys, one of the actors starring in the show. They'll talk about why they chose to tackle the topic of climate change through a scripted drama (1:37), and what they hope the show will inspire viewers to do (15:56). Then, in Part 2, you'll hear a discussion with Marcene Mitchell, Nikhil Advani, and Anita Van Breda from WWF's Climate team about some of the specific scenarios portrayed in the show, how likely those scenarios actually are, and what the world needs to do to prevent them from becoming a reality (22:12).

Carl Quintanilla sits down with Scott Z. Burns, the creator, EP, and showrunner of 'Extrapolations' on Apple TV+ for a long-ranging conversation on how the star-studded series is reimagining climate change storytelling. He shares how teaming up with Al Gore on 'An Inconvenient Truth' influenced his filmmaking journey, how he curated an A-list cast, and why he feels Hollywood has an obligation to portray the truth about our planet in the hopes of reimagining a brighter future for generations to come.

Washington Post opinions columnist Michele Norris speaks with director Scott Z.

Conversation recorded on Wednesday, March 29, 2023.

Was wäre, wenn wir genauso weiter machen wie bisher und alle Klimaziele verfehlen? Genau das stellt sich der visionäre Serienschöpfer Scott Z. Burns ("Contagion") in seiner Star-besetzten neuen Katastrophen-Serie vor. Und das ist erschreckend realistisch. Aber kann diese Serie, basierend auf wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen, uns etwas vermitteln, was Nachrichten und Forschung nicht können?

Scott is a talented writer/director/producer of films such as Contagion, The Bourne Ultimatum, The Report, The Informant, and more. He's also a close friend of mine.

Director Tom Gormican discusses his new film, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, with fellow director Scott Z. Burns in a Q&A at the DGA theater in Los Angeles. In the conversation they speak about the letter that convinced Nicolas Cage to do the movie, directing the film from an Ipad in a hotel room, and the importance of music in a film with a constantly changing tone. The film stars Nicolas Cage as a fictionalized version of himself who is hired to attend the birthday of a superfan, who is actually a dangerous drug cartel kingpin. But when Cage is recruited by the CIA to help bring him down, he's forced to channel some of his most iconic on-screen characters. Please note: spoilers are included.

In this episode, Michael and Sam discuss the new Japanese drama/road movie 'Drive my Car' from Ryusuke Hamaguchi. The film was the recipient of three awards at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival and the winner of the Best International Feature Film award at this year's Oscars. As well as discussing all the fall-out from the Oscars, we discuss Kathryn Bigelow's 1991 surfing action/crime classic 'Point Break' starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze, the 2019 Scott Z. Burns true-life political drama 'The Report' starring Adam Driver, Kelly Reichardt's 2006 minimalist friendship drama 'Old Joy', and the 2001 cult classic teen comedy 'Ghost World' from Terry Zwigoff starring Thora Birch, Scarlett Johannson and Steve Buscemi.

Denis Villeneuve's new DUNE (or, more accurately, DUNE PART ONE) begins the process of adapting Frank Herbert's 1965 novel of the same name, which itself drew from the biography of T.E. Lawrence, the inspiration for another film concerned with “desert power” and messiah mythmaking: 1962's LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. While the two films each slot into different genres — science-fiction and historical war story, respectively — their narratives are remarkably similar, particularly when it comes to the white-savior overtones of their protagonists and their reverence for the desert as a visual and symbolic force. They also stand as complementary representatives of large-scale filmmaking produced some six decades apart, which we dig into in our comparison of the two films, as well as our reactions to DUNE PART ONE, and how they're informed by our knowledge that this is only half the story. Plus Your Next Picture Show, where we share recent viewing experiences in hopes of putting something new on your radar.

Episode 112 of the Everyman Movie Review! Yet another movie I should have seen in theaters, and should have made more of a priority - The Laundromat. Some of you may be too young to remember the Panama Papers - since it was only in the news for about 15 mins, but I remember it rocked me when I found out. I figured, the movie version airing the dirty laundry would be just as good. Was I disappointed? Check out the episode to find out! The Laundromat on streaming. The Everyman Movie Review is a different kind of movie commentary - it's not about the art of movie-making, but rather about the enjoyment and entertainment of the film itself.

Der Cast ist riesig und vielfältig: Gwyneth Paltrow als Beth Emhoff, Mark Wahlberg Matt Damon als Mitch Emhoff, Laurence Fishburne als Dr. Ellis Cheever, Jude Law als Alan Krumwiede, Marion Cotillard als Dr. Leonora Orantes, Kate Winslet als Dr. Erin Mears, Jennifer Ehle als Dr. Ally Hextall, Bryan Cranston als RADM Lyle Haggerty, Armin Rohde als Damian Leopold und Chin Han als Sun Feng. Der Film hat zu Beginn der Coronapandemie im Frühjahr 2020 einen Aufschwung bekommen. Das ist auch der Grund, warum wir uns den Film genauer anschauen. Anders als bei anderen Filmen, geht es hier nämlich nicht um eine lose Metapher zum aktuellen Weltgeschehen, sondern um eine detaillierte Vorausnahme der tatsächlichen Ereignisse. Deshalb vergleichen wir das filmische Geschehen immer wieder mit unseren (neuen) Erfahrungen aus der Wirklichkeit. Zum Schluss fragen wir uns auch vorsichtig, wie sich dieser Film eigentlich zur Wirklichkeit verhält. Christiane hat im Podcast noch eine Video-Empfehlung von Spektrum.de ausgesprochen, wo der Film wissenschaftlich unter die Lupe genommen wird. Wenn ihr weitere Podcasts mit Christiane hören wollt, dann habt ihr eine große Auswahl.

Hi everyone! It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? I’m back today with this special episode, covering a film that I saw just before the stay-at-home orders were issued in California for the current pandemic. It’s going to be an extended episode, with an update on things here at One Movie Punch, my review of THE REPORT entangled with an essay on how the pandemic has affected the film industry in the short term and the long term, and for those that stick around afterwards, a fun audio drama to tide you over during the extended absence. We last left you with our review of LETO back on March 14th, which feels like forever ago, and like yesterday. I had been following the news regarding the Coronavirus, and lamenting how little was being done to contain it, when things began to snowball in New York and New Jersey. Folks were already hoarding food, water, and apparently toilet paper. I remember standing in line, prior to social distancing and masks, listening to someone calmly argue with anyone willing to listen that this was all a hoax, even while dropping three months of food into their cart. I can still remember wondering if anyone around me had it, and if I was going to die, and when I got back to the house that day, I let the team know they could put their pending reviews on permanent hiatus. There was supposed to be a break anyway. I had a Patreon episode planned out that was announcing a three month break for the podcast so I could concentrate on two major projects: First, our website needs a massive update, and every episode we publish makes that task grow ever larger. We know folks can’t find much on our website right now, and we want to change that, while changing hosts. Second, as our team continues to grow, we need a better back-end system to manage our content. I needed some time to work on these projects, and couldn’t do that keeping a daily podcast going on. You’d think that with the pandemic, and the initial stay-at-home orders, that this would have been a slam dunk. Unfortunately, it was anything but that. I spent the first two weeks at home in a downward spiral, one driven by anxiety over whether I had contracted the virus standing in line, and amplified by the depression which followed each anxiety attack. The only way I could get it under control was to occupy myself, which I did by playing “The Witcher III: The Wild Hunt”. We felt reasonably safe after the first two weeks, but rationality doesn’t do much for anxiety and depression once it gets going. It wasn’t until about five weeks later (and completing “The Witcher III: The Wild Hunt”) that I came out of my spiral. Distance learning was limping along for One Movie Spouse and One Movie Spawn, and I decided to get to work with all the free time I had, spending more time reading and exercising, and more importantly to you all, spending four to six hours a day taking online training classes for SQL Server and C#, and building a custom application to help automate our process on the back end. I was making great progress, which came to a screeching halt as our plans were being developed for returning students (and teachers) to school. I was already behind schedule a little bit, and pushed back our restart date to 9/1 to accommodate the delay. Our districts were fortunate enough to adopt distance learning models, but until the final decisions were made, my anxiety and depression cycle started up again. It also meant we had to rearrange our tiny California townhome to accommodate one student and one teacher for distance learning, including rearranging rooms, assembling furniture, and doing some massive cleaning. It also came with some practical issues in continuing the podcast for the foreseeable future. The pandemic has required quite a few families to make sacrifices to accommodate work and school changes. Our family is no exception. The increased expectations for distance learning this fall now require One Movie Spouse and One Movie Spawn to be online for longer periods of time each day, which makes trying to watch a movie at home nearly impossible. There’s also a lot more housework to be done with three people around all the time, which eats into finding time to manage the podcast. I can’t really go back to producing the podcast the way I was before, at least until we’re done with distance learning, or when it feels safe enough for me to work elsewhere. What does that mean? Well, it means the regular podcast will be off the air for the duration of the pandemic. The best I can do right now is continue working on the custom application to automate our process as time permits, and wait patiently for our world to go back to some semblance of stability. Once there’s an opportunity to restart, then we will reach out to our critics, collaborators, and fans to figure out a schedule to bring us back on the air. If that’s possible before the pandemic is finished, I’ll let you know. In the meantime, I want to thank you all for your continued support over the past few years. Big up to our sponsors for their contributions! Thank you for all the work from our critics! And especially to you all, our fans, who we hope will be there when we return. Until then, stay safe and healthy! We’ll be back before you know it. Here we go! ///// Today’s movie is THE REPORT (2019), the political thriller written and directed by Scott Z. Burns. Daniel Jones (Adam Driver) is a congressional staffer who is tasked to investigate allegations of torture by the CIA in the wake of the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and the two occupations that followed. The film also stars Annette Bening as Jones’ boss, Senator Dianne Feinstein, and Jon Hamm as Denis McDonough, who eventually became Obama’s Chief of Staff. No spoilers. THE REPORT (2019) closes out an excellent year for Adam Driver, whose additional films in 2019 included Oscar-darling MARRIAGE STORY (Episode #668), fan favorite STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER (Episode #672), and the campy THE DEAD DON’T DIE, which received mixed reviews. This year follows an excellent filmography, which has also recently included BLACKKKLANSMAN (Episode #225), THE MAN WHO KILLED DON QUIXOTE (Episode #523), and LOGAN LUCKY (Episode #065). It seems like Driver appeared out of nowhere in the last few years, but the secret to his success has been his excellent choices in roles, since about 2012, leveraging regular work on “Girls” to take on a number of films with excellent and notable writers and directors, including Scorsese, Gerwig, Baumbach, and The Coen Brothers. All things said, Driver may also be the best thing about THE REPORT, aside from the uncanny resemblance between Bening and Feinstein, mannerisms and all. Everything else about the film is pretty standard, though, and that has to do with the subject matter. The story of Daniel Jones, and the investigation into CIA torture, is definitely an important story, but doesn’t have a satisfying ending. I don’t think this fact spoils the film, as the only satisfying ending to this story would have been trials and convictions for war crimes by everyone taking part, and that clearly didn’t happen. It’s also not the only example of war crimes being uncovered and remaining unpunished in US history. THE REPORT follows roughly the same investigatory and political machination track as Spielberg’s THE POST (Episode #353), but we get the satisfaction of the Pentagon Papers being published and some form of accountability. If it wasn’t for the cast, I’m not sure THE REPORT would have gotten as much attention as it did. I don’t think this takes anything away from Scott Z. Burns’ efforts. The film is still a hell of an accomplishment. It just has trouble competing in our ever-changing film industry, particularly in the wake of the pandemic. THE REPORT, along with THE POST for that matter, falls into a growing category of films that can be experienced pretty much identically at home or in the theater. It certainly wasn’t made for the box office, where it only gathered less than $250,000, but it was made for the growing streaming-only market, much like MARRIAGE STORY or THE MEYEROWITZ STORIES for Netflix. As an aside, that’s a secondary reason for Driver’s success – finding recognition through the growing streaming audience. The pandemic has seen a number of these “theater-independent” films continue to roll out on streaming services, whereas “theatre-dependent” films that try to bank on box office payouts have seen massive delays and declines, along with a few innovative attempts at screenlife films. Disney in particular has been scrambling to develop and solidify its online presence, while managing the previously sunk production costs and the hemorrhaging tourist-driven income of parks and resorts. I’m very much looking forward to the return of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not to mention all the films that really benefit from a theatrical presentation. But I don’t really want to see BLACK WIDOW or MULAN if it’s not on a big screen first. I also don’t think the $29.99 premium VOD purchase point is going to workout, although I’m curious to see the long-term viability. That’s one half of what I would call “theater-dependent” films. The other half are films that benefit from having a large audience, one who is especially engaged to see the film. I hesitate to say “audience-dependent”, because there’s a much different vibe between friends gathering at a home to watch a film, and enjoying a premiere with other film fans. The best film I’ve seen during the pandemic that fits this description is THE LOVEBIRDS, which made a Netflix debut in lieu of waiting for the theaters to reopen. One Movie Spouse and I saw the film, and laughed quite a bit, but I think we both knew that seeing this film with a packed house would have been even better, especially for the raunchier parts of the comedy not spoiled by the trailer. I’ve been really missing both kinds of “theater-dependent” films, mostly because I got a Regal Unlimited pass late last year before everything shut down. It may be the most important distinction the pandemic has made within the industry: that some films require a theatrical experience, and that the industry will remain after this pandemic, in lieu of an all “at home” experience. It doesn’t mean there won’t be fallout among the major movie chains, especially those invested in expensive markets. I fully expect to see some chains go bankrupt and get bought up by Netflix, Amazon, Warner, and Disney as outlets for group-themed premieres of streaming favorites, as well as those “theater-dependent” films. Amazon might have even made a profit from THE REPORT, if they owned a chain to show it in. THE REPORT is a pretty standard government investigation film, elevated by its above average cast, and anchored by a great performance by Adam Driver as Daniel Jones. Scott Z. Burns leverages the Amazon loss leader model to produce his second writer/director feature, which deserves a larger audience, despite its depressing subject matter. Fans of films about government, or fans of Driver or any of the cast members, will definitely enjoy this film. Rotten Tomatoes: 81% (CERTIFIED FRESH) Metacritic: 66  One Movie Punch: 8.0/10 THE REPORT (2019) is rated R and is currently playing on Amazon Prime. ///// JOSEPH: “And now, what absolutely did not happen back in March 2020, nor will be used as a bridge to relaunch the podcast when conditions permit...” JOSEPH: “Really not liking the news lately. The virus looks like the real deal. It’s a good thing One Movie Punch Tower is completely self-sufficient, with power, food, air, and water for up to five years.” EILEEN: “Have we tried any of these items installed by Belko Industries?” JOSEPH: “No, but I’m sure everything will be just fine. They’re a very trusted name in the industry. Built buildings all around the world. Didn’t go with the neural implant upgrade, though. I mean, I’m not stupid.” AMY: “What’s that?” JOSEPH: “Looks like the stay-at-home order has been issued for California. All right, no time like the present to test things out. One Movie Spawn, go press the button for PANDEMIC.” JOSEPH: “Once that’s pressed, the tower begins sealing up. And we should be able to disable it with no problem... Oh BEEEP!” AMY: “What?” JOSEPH: “What button did you press?” EILEEN: “The one labelled PANDEMIC, like you said, on the end.” JOSEPH: “It’s activated the nuclear fallout option!” AMY: “Can we just turn that off?” JOSEPH: “No, it’s set to lock things out for five years minimum.” AMY: “Can’t we just call someone to help us?” JOSEPH: “No. It shuts off all communications. I mean, who was supposed to be left?” EILEEN: “Wait, you mean we’re trapped in here together for five years? I’m supposed to go to college!” JOSEPH: “I’ll get started on getting us out, but it’s going to take some time. How much, I’m not sure. You know, it looks like the buttons were switched on the panel! Did you do this?” EILEEN: “Are you kidding me?!” JOSEPH: “Did YOU?!” AMY: “Of course not!” JOSEPH: “I wonder who did it, then...”

In this episode, Irish Times Features Writer Patrick Freyne brings us back to the year 2011 and the release of the scientific thriller movie Contagion. Starring Matt Damon, Contagion tells the story of a deadly virus which explodes into a global pandemic, bringing society to its knees. Nine years on, in the midst of our own virus outbreak, it all feels eerily familiar. Freyne catches up with Contagion’s screenwriter Scott Z. Burns and the virologist who advised the script and plotline for the movie, Dr Ian Lipkin. The pair explain how their working relationship began over a couple of cocktails in a Manhattan bar and was sealed on the agreement that this pandemic movie would be grounded in science rather than blockbuster action. So, nine years on from its release, what it is like looking back on Contagion for Burns and Lipkin? Has the pandemic played out like they expected both scientifically and politically?
