Arrival (2016) | Ep. 51 - Part 2

17 Jan 2025 · 1 h 14 min

Everything the film is really about is hidden in plain sight until a single reveal rearranges it. John, Westy, and Matt continue the story, picking up at that turn.

We dig into the crew behind the film — Eric Heisserer's screenplay adapted from Ted Chiang, Jóhann Jóhannsson's haunting score, and Bradford Young's cinematography — before breaking down the finale, the reception, and the film's lasting legacy. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.

If you've not heard Part 1 — Villeneuve, the cast, and the middle — go back and start there.
