This week, we review the neo-noir sci-fi film -- and Roger Ebert's #1 movie of 1998 -- "Dark City."

 - Despite the dark setting & tone of a movie called "Dark City," which specific aspects of the movie were sufficiently bright and/or colorful?

 - Which co-host made the excellent connection between this movie and the concept of nature vs. nurture?

 - Were the aliens in this movie still sticking to their goal, and were they making any progress?  Or, did they just come to enjoy messing with us?

 - How & why is John Murdoch special?  How much of his past really happened, and how much was concocted?

 - Why did the Strangers use dead bodies instead of live ones, and why were most, if not all, of them male?

 - Did the co-hosts like the narrative technique of the main character starting with amnesia, and how many other examples of amnesia storylines did one co-host bring up?

 - What is real?  What is imaginary?  Is our reality fake?  Does it even matter?

 - Is science-fiction a valuable tool in exploring questions of existence & reality?

 - How does the main character in the movie get his special ability?

 - Which character had a thoroughly annoying voice?

 - And, which movie based on a classic game did we roll for reviewing in the near future.

Listen now for the asking & pondering of these questions & more as we...tune...in and shine a light on..."Dark City."
