This is the last film of Melbourne International Film Fest! Baron and Doc started with First Cow, and they have ended with First and Last Men. It just feels right, doesn't it?

First and Last Men is the creation of the late and great Jóhann Jóhannsson, Baron's favourite composer. He also directed and adapted the script for this film, which is narrated by Tilda Swinton.

The Doc and Baron mostly agree on the strengths and weaknesses of this film, but the unusual approach and subject matter takes them down some unexpected paths. Tune in to hear what they think and what the film reminds them of.

As usual, spoiler alerts abound and any criticisms come from a place of love for film.
