Episode 24: The 2012 Phenomenon and the Current Looming Catastrophe
Manage episode 429162789 series 3552603
This week we spend the first twenty minutes of the show discussing the ramifications of the attempted assassination of former President Trump before diving into a consideration of the apocalyptic 2012 Phenomenon, with special attention paid to the 2009 blockbuster, Roland Emmerich's 2012. At the episode's conclusion we adroitly knit the two halves of the conversation together by thinking about apocalypticism and messianism, and how the hoped for Utopia to be ushered in in the wake of a disaster never materializes in the way that adherents might have hoped.
This episode contains spoilers for the film 2012 as well as for the year 2012.
