Philosophy In Film - 077 - Leave the World Behind

Philosophy in Film brings in the new year with Netflix’s 2023 thriller Leave the World Behind. Directed by Mr. Robot's Sam Esmail and based on the 2020 novel by Rumaan Alam, the gang prepares for cataclysmic crisis by cracking this week’s featured beer, starting with Producer’s Notes (8:40) and the Beauclair Synopsis (21:09), heading down the Philosopher’s Corner (37:08), diving deep into the film with the Round Table (50:37), with Reviews (1:24:52) & Mailbag (1:45:01) bringing it all crumbling down. As always, we discuss the philosophical and non-philosophical aspects of the movie that caught our attention, and maybe even discuss the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. finale a little.    Featured Beer: Irish Red - from The Red Hart Brewing Company (Red Deer, Alberta)
