Nocebo, Pontypool, Contagion, and The Andromeda Strain

Episode 212

We’ve got our usual lineup of four movies and a short film this week— This time, all “plague related” films. We’ll start with “Nocebo” and “Pontypool,” which feature two supernatural-adjacent diseases. Then we’ll go the traditional plague route with “Contagion” and the original version of “The Andromeda Strain.”

As a bonus this week, we’ll look at future plagues:

• “La Jetee” (1962)

• “12 Monkeys” 1995

Four years ago this week...

Four YEARS AGO this week, on episode 6, we looked at “Dr Phibes Rises Again” (1972) and “Day of the Dead: Bloodlines” (2018).
