(00:00) Robert Heinlein pushes the trope of recursive progeny to its absurd extremes in the 1959 short story “All You Zombies” (note: not about zombies). Brian and Ken discuss the story and the subsequent 2014 film adaptation Predestination and even kick around a few real-world (!) examples.
(29:45) Spoiler-free recommendations: Charles Burns’s Black Hole, Neill Blomkamp’s Alive in Joburg and District 9.
