Annihilation (The Movie 2018)

Summary: <p>This was a movie I kinda looked forward to seeing because of Alex Garland.  The Director for Ex Machina, an odd but amazing movie.  Annihilation is part one of a 3 part series that I started with the book and now watched the movie.  Alicia and I sit through a movie that is not quite what we thought it would be. Listen to the weird background music from the soundtrack we play behind us.</p><br> <p><img src="//BougieBlackBrother.podbean.com/mf/web/2kkrgg/annihilation_splitjpeg.jpeg" alt="annihilation_splitjpeg.jpeg" width="968" height="968"></p><br> <p><strong>Annihilation</strong> is a 2014 novel by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_VanderMeer">Jeff VanderMeer</a>.
