This week on The Movie List Podcast, Matt watches Alfonso Cuarón’s dystopian masterpiece Children of Men. We break down the insane filmmaking behind its seemingly impossible long takes, the accidental blood splatter that became one of the movie’s most iconic shots, the tiny details hidden throughout its version of 2027, and the deeper story of Theo learning to become a father again.
