O-Bi, O-Ba - The End of Civilization

We continue the annual Mike White March celebration with an uplifting tale of society post-collapse who is being gaslighted into believing they have a chance at surviving in O-Bi, O-Ba - The End of Civilization. Written by Polish writer/director Piotr Szulkin, it follows Soft; a man tasked with keeping society together through convincing them they have a chance to surviving the nuclear winter. It's a bleak, often depressing look at a post-apocalyptic society that hits way too close to home at a time like this. The Projection Booth's Mike White and The One Season Show's Jess Byard join Chris to talk about the movie, the usage of style, and other apocalyptic cinema.
