Go With The Flow (episode 53)

Flow (2024) is an extraordinary film - Latvia's most successul of all time, and winner of the Oscar for Best Animated Film. Colin and Phil discuss whether it counts as science fiction (of course it does!), and what makes this delightful movie tick.

If you haven't seen the film, we think we give you enough of flavour of it for the discussion to make sense, and hopefully to inspire you to watch it.

We also have a cat/SF quiz, and our traditional round-up of recommendations of past/present/future science fiction.

Unfortunately, Phil's headphones were a bit "leaky" during this recording, so there's an occasional bit of echo in this episode. Sorry about that - and we'll aim to restore normal service next time!
