This week, the team is joined by Dr. Kirsty Macleod, an evolutionary ecologist and fellow podcaster (W.E.E.)! We walk through both the weird and wild in the 2018 film Annihilation. From horizontal gene transfer, to plants with Hox genes, to faceless, screaming bears, this movie has us all asking: is this shimmer real or is everyone just absolutely hammered?
