About this episode
Our guest this week is Ayesha of Every Single Sci-Film Ever* where we discuss the legendary film Metropolis. Released in 1927, this science fiction masterpiece of the silent film era was directed by Fritz Lang and based on the 1925 novel by Thea von Harbou. Join us as we discuss the conflicting messages of the film and debate whether Rotwaang was the original tech bro and did Lang intend to make bourgeois propaganda?
