Episode Arrival (2016) | Ep. 51 - Part 1
Most alien-invasion films reach for the missiles. This one reaches for a linguist and a whiteboard, and it's all the more gripping for it. John, Westy, and Matt begin the story.
In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Denis Villeneuve, the cast, and the second act — including Amy Adams's extraordinary lead performance, the constructed alien writing system, and Villeneuve making translation feel like the highest-stakes thing on earth.
The story doesn't unfold in order, but the show does. Part 2, covering the crew, the finale, reception, and the film's legacy, is available now.
