James Cole (Bruce Willis) may or may not be a time traveler sent from our future to learn about our present. Inspired by Chris Marker's La Jetée, Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys (1995) (opens in a new tab) is based on a script by David Webb and Janet Peoples.
Tony Black (opens in a new tab) and Jedidiah Ayres join Mike to discuss this twisted time travel story. Dahlia Schweitzer (opens in a new tab) -- author of Going Viral: Zombies, Viruses, and the End of the World (opens in a new tab) -- discusses the prevalence and significance of the disease narrative at the time of Twelve Monkeys's release.
