Tim and Jen have a mild and cordial disagreement about Truman Show screenwriter Andrew Niccol’s flop first feature: Gattaca.

The Cinemaholic has an explainer for the ending, just in case you’re stupid.

The studio attempted to sell the film as a sci-fi thriller, going by the trailer. See it in 4K over at YouTube. Am I crazy, or is that Richard Kiley narrating for a touch of educational-television believability? Guess they spared no expense!

In an interview snippet, Gattaca cinematographer Slawomir Idziak talks about working on an episode of Krzysztof Kieślowski’s televised masterpiece, Dekalog.

Finally, if you want to hear our episode on George Romero’s Martin, it’s also free! (But first come to our Discord and talk to Tim about Traveller.)
