About this episode
If society outlawed emotions, could we stop all war and conflict? This is the very, very stupid question at the heart of EQUILIBRIUM (2002), the dystopian extravaganza that introduced the world to the art of "gun kata."
Michael and Us is a podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.
