The End of the World with Michael and Stu
The Apocalypse is Everywhere. The End of the World with Michael and Stu is a (hopefully) insightful and (hopefully) humorous exploration of the rise of apocalyptic news, apocalyptic thinking and apocalyptic culture. Each week, we’ll be looking at a work of art, a piece of media, or an historical event related to the (hopefully not) impending End of the World.

Episode 4: Waterworld and The Postman
In this episode we explore Kevin Costner's two 1990's post-apocalyptic outings, WATERWORLD and THE POSTMAN. Are they any good? No. Do they have an important message? Also no. But do they reveal something about what the apocalypse meant to mass culture in the years immediately following the end of the Cold War? You'll have to listen to find out!
Spoiler warning for WATERWORLD and THE POSTMAN.
