Episode Children of Men (2006) | Ep. 75 - Part 1

0:00 1:08:59

We're in 2027 with Alfonso Cuarón to begin a dystopian classic. John, Westy, and Matt dive into the story of how Cuarón created one of cinema's most visually stunning achievements — a film that turned a difficult-to-adapt novel into a breathtaking technical marvel.

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Alfonso Cuarón, the cast, and the second act, exploring Clive Owen's career-best performance (YMMV) and why the world-building feels so unnervingly real.

Part 2, covering the crew, the finale, reception, and the film's legacy, is available now.

Telling the story of Hollywood, one film at a time.
