HE017 The Story of Your Life / Arrival
Manage episode 199258740 series 1008450
In an earlier episode (HE006), Hate Expectations discovered that time is an illusion, and lunchtime doubly so. That concept is taken to the outer limits in Ted Chiang's award winning sci-fi novella, The Story of Your Life (1998). Listen in to this recording of Lizzy and Nate as they get down verbally with their friend and returning guest host, Siobhan Beeman. The three intrepid explorers try to dissect the pretzel logic* of the alien contact story, and the popular 2016 movie adapted from it: Arrival (dir. Denis Villeneuve). It's important to note that while you likely already know the story and how it turns out, this playful episode is chock full of spoilers. You've been given the gift of a warning. Use it wisely.
*A special thanks to our friends Jay, Sue, and Julia**, who gave Nate the book for Christmas, prompting this episode. He loved it as much as you thought he would.
** We are sorry to lump you in with them on the Steely Dan reference, Sue. You did nothing to deserve that.
