After a delay in our return to earth, we finally bring you the conclusion of our AntiTrash Sci-Fi Marathon with a look at the lauded apocalyptic drama, Melancholia. That's right, Lars von Trier finally rears his head on the podcast. We take this tale to the analysis table in order to see what's firing under the hood. This week, we're discussing depression and mental health, the theory of hyperobjects, reader response theory, Don't Look Up parallels, and much, much more!
