Media Montage Podcast 68: Noah (2014) Film and Comics

You got your Post-Apocalyptic Sci-Fi in my Biblical Epic! 

No, you got your Biblical Epic in my Post-Apocalyptic Sci-Fi!

This week Bruce and Larry visit Noah, the 2014 film by Darren Aronofsky, starring Russell Crowe, Anthony Perkins, Jennifer Connelly and Ray Winstone. 

We also look at the graphic novel that was concurrently created from the original screenplay. 

The wickedness of man, miracles and fallen angels inhabit the strange antediluvian earth of the story. We explore the sci-fi nature of the story, the bits and pieces added for dramatic effect, and the symbolism present throughout the tale. The flood is upon us in Episode 68 of the Media Montage Podcast!
