Getting Lost in the Subway at the End of the World

Sci-fi, Tarkovsky, gender politics, World War II, STALKER, centrism, subs vs. dubs… this Metro 2033-focused episode of Waypoint 101 has it all! Join Austin, Danielle, and Rob for a in-depth and wide-ranging discussion of 4A Games' 2010 adaptation of Sergei Glukhovsky's 2005 post-apocalyptic novel. There are some significant spoilers about the ending (could humans be the real monsters?), but for the most point we'll be discussing whether how Metro 2033 attempts to combine immersive sim and linear FPS traditions, the places where its execution lets down its artistic ambitions, the whiff of centrism around its politics, and what its singular morality system implies about its worldview.
