This week on The Collider Podcast, Matt and Adam talk about Alex Garland’s excellent sci-fi film, Ex Machina. The conversation includes why the film works so well, the myriad of themes it raises, how Garland effectively draws in the audience, the tremendous performances, how the picture has become a hit at the box office, and much more. As always, we finish up with our recommendations.
