Live Like the World is Dying: Inmn and Margaret on Civil War

**Inmn ** 00:14 Hello and welcome to Live Like the World is Dying, your podcast for what feels like the end times. I'm one of your hosts today Inmn Neruin and with me is the always lovely. . .  [trails off inviting Margaret to speak]

**Margaret ** 00:28 Margaret. You should do the [intro] as if I'm Garth. You should be like "And with me as always is Margaret." Like...because Wayne's World. Because I'm an elder millennial. Nevermind. Hi, I'm Margaret, I'm your other host.

**Inmn ** 00:43 And today we're going to be talking about...we're kinda going to be doing a movie review about-- [Interrupted]

**Margaret ** 00:49 Wayne's World. 

**Inmn ** 00:50 About Wayne's World, the most important movie of our time.

**Margaret ** 00:53 I once...I changed my--actually I dropped out of school--but before I dropped out of school, I was gonna change my major to film because of Wayne's World. This is a true story. 

**Inmn ** 01:03 I love that so much. [Laughing]

**Margaret ** 01:07  It's so well done. Woman-directed too. Anyway, what are we talking about? 

**Inmn ** 01:15 We're talking about a much less joyful movie today. And that movie is Alex Garland's Civil War. And the reason we're kind of talking about this is that I think this movie feels very relevant to--or at least when I went to go see it, I thought it would be very relevant--to some themes on the podcast. And since then, I've been a little bit confused, but we'll get into that later. And I am told that me and Margaret might have some differing opinions about this movie. And so y'all will get to see us argue.

**Margaret ** 01:56 Yeah, I'm going to argue in favor of Wayne's World, and Inmn is going to argue against Civil War. 

**Inmn ** 02:01 Yes. But first off, we are proud members of the Channel Zero Network of anarchists podcasts, and here's the jingle from another show on that network. Doo doo doo doo doo. [singing]

**The Ex-Worker Podcast ** 02:18 The Border is not just a wall. It's not just a line on the map. It's a power structure, a system of control. The Border does not divide one world from another. There is only one world, and the Border is tearing it apart. The Ex-worker podcast presents "No Wall They Can Build: A Guide to Borders and Migration Across North America," a serialized audio book in eleven chapters, released every Wednesday.

**Margaret ** 02:54 [Mimicking a movie trailer voice] In a world... [stopes voice] That's all I got.

**Inmn ** 03:01 [Inmn takes up movie trailer voice] Where a vague civil war has gripped the nation for the last 14 years, we...
