Episode 34: Soylent Green: A Tale of Ecological Dystopias

Make room, make room! The world's overpopulated and authors, artists, screenwriters alike are trying to think of solutions to save us from the consequences of our hubris. Crow's talking environmental dystopias this week as she dissects a weird favorite: Soylent Green! Grab a cup of hot cocoa and huddle up as the world burns around us, children, as we look into a genre that's become more relevant than ever--its origins, how it developed throughout the decades, and whether or not Soylent Green might come to a grocery store near you!
