Ep 12: Arrival

Published: March 6, 2017, 3:29 p.m.

We read Ted Chiang's novella Story of You Life (1998) and its 2016 Oscar winning adaptation Arrival directed by Denis Villeneuve. Today, Bridget struggles through the most challenging plot synopsis she's ever had to write for the show, and later, Ginny chides her for talking too much about Jeremy Renner. Speaking of, in the grand tradition of science beefboys on Radaptations (remember BEEFBOY BOTANIST Mark Watney?!), we puzzle out whether or not Arrival convinced us that Jeremy Renner is a physicist. Are you putting off reading this novella because you have knowledge that you will eventually in the future? Exercise your free will and read it NOW. Grab on to your linear timelines, folks! We get a little nutty today. Keep in touch @Radaptations and radaptationspod@gmail.com.
