Fabulous Film & Friends
Ep. # 81 - Civil War
This week on Fabulous Film & Friends we’re going to wrestle with divisions among our ranks as we tackle 2024’s controversial Civil War, directed by Alex Garland and starring Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Maura, Calliee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Nick Offerman and Jesse Plemons.
I’m joined this week by a blockbuster crew consisting of Utah IT Tech and film lover Burton Brown, as well part-time New York, part-time Florida denizen, author, producer, and gadfly George Young.
Before we embark on our little journey towards the truth, the synopsis:
In Civil War four journalists, hard-bitten and cynical war photographer Lee Smith, brash, cowboy reporter Joel, wide-eyed rookie photobug Jessie Cullins who idolizes Lee and sage old New York Times correspondent Sammy (curious note: the women in the film have last names but the men don’t) travel a roundabout 1000 miles from New York to Washington D.C. through an America ripped apart by a 2nd Civil War in order to get a final interview from the U.S. president before the country is taken over by Western Forces, which is an extremely unlikely alliance between Texas and California.
Does the film hit home?
