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 Jetee, Terry Gilliam’s Twelve Monkeys is based on a script by David Webb and Janet Peoples. Tony Black and Jedidiah Ayres join Mike to discuss this twisted time travel story. Dahlia Schweitzer — author of Going Viral: Zombies, Viruses, and the End of the World — discusses the prevalence and significance of the disease narrative at the time of Twelve Monkeys’s release.
