Annihilation

“Annihilation” is the forty-seventh episode of the fourth season of We'll See You In Hell.

Episode Description
''Joe and Pat discuss Alex Garland’s highly divisive follow-up to “Ex Machina” — “Annihilation!” They ah... they disagree.''

Before The Film

 * On With The Joe!: The Platters - Only You
 * Chappaquiddick starring Jason what's his name... Pat attempts to guess four times, each funnier than the next, before they settle on Jason Clark. Top billing, has he ever been in a successful film? This is the same town that ran Chris Elliott out for 20 years.
 * The boys went to a Burt Reynolds triple feature at the Egyptian Theatre, showing Smokey and the Bandit, Hooper, and Sharky's Machine. Burt Reynolds did a Q&A after Smokey and the Bandit, was he hitting on all the ladies during it?
 * The tragic story of Jan-Michael Vincent.
 * Coach was supposed to be getting a reboot, but they shut it down because it was so bad.

Pat's Movie Corner

 * Fatso (Joe)
 * The Handmaiden (Pat)
 * Night of the Creeps (Joe)

The Film

 * Pat thought it was suspenseful and entertaining, started to lose him at the end until he started thinking about it, he has a take on it and liked it, but would be hesitant to recommend it to people that need linear storytelling.
 * Joes gives it two glistening hogs down.
 * Why do they point out the team is all women?
 * The bear scene is the one positive for Joe. All the other scenes look like bad art projects.
 * Joe is sick of doppelgangers.
 * Pat's interprets it as being about people trying to break out of depression. He got a lot out of it and enjoys the open ending nature of it.
 * A few Annihilation questions from the Hellions:
 * "I found the 'self-destruction as part of being human theme' in Annihilation very interesting, what did you guys think about that?"
 * "Talk about that bear please, I've never been so disturbed by a single scene."
 * "Why was the team so unprepared to go into the Glimmer given that they've spent so much time studying it? Why did they even have radios and shit knowing that it doesn't work? And why didn't they leave a trail of breadcrumbs or just very long rope so they don't get lost? I guess what I want is answers."
 * "Your feelings on some of the world getting such a visual movie like Annihilation straight to streaming?"
 * "What do you think of Alex Garland as a writer in general?"
 * "Why did you ask the Ren & Stimpy guy to do what he did?"
