Marijuana Movie - 12 Monkeys
Maybe this flashback seems like a flash-forward. Even before the pandemic hit, there was a lot of good and bad information floating around the internet. Social media and the news turned up the volume of the drumbeat of fear and tribalism. We worked remote, got furloughed or laid off as the world gathered around their collective of screens to fight a virus by staying the fuck home.
12 Monkeys blended terror, misinformation, conspiracy theory & perspective into a dystopian plot which could exist in our collective past or be our future. Killer viruses, extreme weather (a.k.a. climate change), domestic terrorism and mental illness are all in attendance. Not willing to time travel with Bruce and worry about contagion?
