\u201cWe wait for something. We hope, we lose hope, we move closer to death.\u201d

With that cheery note, the Arts Union Science Podcast returns with an episode on Andrei Tarkovsky\u2019s final film: The Sacrifice (1986). Join your corresponding author (Tyler D. R. Vance) and returning first author extraordinaire (Keegan Turner-Wood) as they unpack the existential dread associated with nuclear holocaust circa in the late \u201880s, with clearly no relevance to the modern day . . . yeah. Along the way, they\u2019ll wade into the film\u2019s relationship to Fredrich Nietzsche, wax poetic about the use of biblical allusion and transcendental film-making styles, and try to figure out if the film contains the worst party in cinema history.
